Next i had the grill badge done black also new mirror caps and indicator lenses as they were broken when i picked the car up. Currently no GTI badge on the grill as i have a red one to fit.

Title: Re: GTI Leeds so far
Post by: GTI Leeds on July 07, 2012, 10:40:38 pm: Thanks mate.. Totally different cars. VW miles better build quality but miss the VXR. That was running 270bhp standard without me even touching it.
