Dub newcomer - GTi MkIV

**bert** · 11-04-2009, 04:13 PM

Thanks all for the feedback - so far I'm very happy with my purchase, the car is very much enjoying the chance to stretch its legs through the open roads of the Peninsula and I'm loving it!

With regard to the exhaust and rear bumper options mentioned above - can people please post some pics of their rear setup to give me some ideas. And also can anyone recommend a good exhaust place to go to in the S-E suburbs of old Melbourne town?

Cheers

PS Previous car was an '85 Berlina (EFI, dual fuel). Definitely a step up in motoring refinement and performance!

Hi Bert,

Nice one, very nice. Been thinking of getting an exhaust too, that is un-assuming, and doesn't burst your ear drums when you step on it!! Give Volkspower in Burwood a call. They've got everything there, and should be able to help....

Cheers

What's wrong with an exhaust that bursts your ear drums? As long as it makes a glorious roar that is and not a mindless drone that is (an angry VR6 will help this).

Welcome to the forums by the way Bert. A nice mint GTI you go there. Personally I prefer the Montreals over the stockys but then again there are plenty of nice aftermarket rims that you can get as well.

Cheers,
Trent

Hi Bert,

This is my GTI with a 4 Motion Rear Valance.

Cheers bujna, looks great! Definitely food for thought.

Love those rims too, is it possible to stick a VW in instead of the four rings?

I've just gotten back from a long weekend away and the new baby thoroughly enjoyed the open roads away from the city.

There is a type of vw wheel that has same/similar sized centre caps, so i might think about grabbing a set off ebay at some stage, and seeing how they go
