Apologies, just realised it's not a cupra splitter.

Thanks Ian! :) It really has, If I was doing a long journey, couple of hundred motorway miles i'd maybe change it back, not that I think it will be droney, i'll try it soon and see. It certainly adds a little more voice to the car about town!

There is definitely horror stories about everything on the net. People quoting 5k to replace the gearbox just because the Mechatronic unit failed! Feck off! Cost a friend £750 to get his fixed and it's been fine for another 15k miles. Scaremongering. It certainly wouldn't put me off. That's what...

If you're using tough coat go with tripple mate. Lime prime can be a little fussy although via rotary it's a superb product. Tripple on a light pad will work fine on the rotary once the pad is primed correctly. Keep at low speeds and just see how it goes. Very good product.

It's very good, as always with Hawk practice makes perfect I find. I got 155k on Warehouse last night, all about the right start through the secret room!

Can't believe how cheap you got it!

Yeah. The worst thing you can do is fit them then seal them. Arse about face!

Votex ones aren't up to much imo. I still love the BBS style standard wheels... f**k cleaning them though. This car rocks but they'd probably be nicer in Silver... Thanks for the nice comments chaps.

Agreed on the wheels. QS wheels and Eibachs are a plan. They suit Avus. I'll need to show you it soon. Feirny find me a pic of your mates with the QS wheels. :) Cheers Kane it's a nice colour.

Red is awesome but there are 2 local and any for sale simply weren't worth buying. I'm avereging about 30mpg with town driving and my work is a 2 minute drive away. A mixture of blasting and sedate driving. In the run back from London it was doing 35mpg no problem. Same tax, insurance and...

Lols!

Lols! Oh I forgot the standard CS backs to the wall response when not given the answer that is craved! Omggggzzzz your Silver Beetle is minzin!

I don't really think it's a question that needs answered. It is what it is. I have seen some detailing threads contain a wash and wax! That's just cleaning.

Pretty much mate. It'll protect the colour from fading and the break dust won't eat into the lacquer. In most cases you can clean with a gentle shampoo after sealing.

Is it the fact that not many have driven a V6 TT that they instantly think it's just a posers wagon? I don't understand it. The grip is simply insane, maybe the fact it instills so much confidence in the corners people think it's boring, personally I don't see it. Bose, Heated Leather...

I know what you're saying Roy. It was the right time to sell though. I changed into a newer, allround better car and pocketed a small fortune to me. I actually thought i'd miss the Frp more than I have but I hadn't really driven it like it should be in a very long time. The TT is perfect for me.

Agreed. I'm mental. It really does. Did 500 miles in it last Thursday and it really was a great car for it. No chap. I don't like the new shape really apart from the RS and the S-line. The interiors are lovely though.

I wasn't sure where he was going with that.

Probably right mate, I actually think the S-line ones are a nicer wheel all round but i'd never fit them to a V6. Bit mental that way. :o

Looks like a standard TT though. Not a fan of them on the V6 mate. I love the BBS ones.

Thanks Russ and thanks for all the advice mate. I ended up with a very good car, the guy had spent a lot of money on it recently, brakes, Haldex service, long life service, plugs and coil packs replaced, 2x tyres and a few other things. Only thing I want to do is change the Dsg oil even though...

Totally understandable mate. Buying a car that was 30k meant I had to use my head and bought this one over a worse condition Red one. Also there are 2 Red ones within a square mile of my house so mine is actually rare! I'm very happy with it mate. It's so so much car for the money. I failed to...

They are 18's. :( I love OEM mate, i'd only change for BBS. It's semi auto, I just drive about because race car using the paddle shift, it really is a genius box, the upshifts and down s***s are incredible in manual mode. Auto mode is a dream and sports mode is very good. Oh yeah, tey're...

You never read all the thread. Red ones were all pants unless yo want to pay 6k to get half decent miles! Condition was more important than colour, especially considering I loved this colour anyway. Oh and DSG is waaaay better for me, just took ages to realise! I'll struggle to go back to a...

Hi chaps! Some shots of the new steed. Popped down to Gatwick last Thursday with the Boss and picked it up, so far after a week... i'm loving it. It's suits my needs and wants in a car to a tee. And the noise, it sounds like a proper car with a proper engine! A massive thanks to Ant and Rob (of...

See my post above mate.

Yes until I get in it and start it up. ;)

I remember my younger years, a friend cut his springs on a 309, it was an awesome car! Think he replaced about 8 n/s wheels and tyres in that time.

Cutting springs? And a mechanic recommended this? Tip, get a new mechanic.

Any cheap funky sleeves about? The missus wants more a funky one, I was happy with a nice Griffin Elan one. Cheap and cheerful.
