Hi all,

Anyone have any mods for the non-GTI/R 8 sorted yet?

Got a base model wagon that I'm doing some gentle things on (my mother's car) but there seems to be sfa out there/available.

So...

Needs a drop and maybe some spacers for aesthetics but was impressed how good they look. Clearance was fine.

I put a set of Golf R 7.5 Spielberg’s on a base level white wagon, looks great

Old thread but got my tint done by Rob at Hunters Hill Window Tinting this morning. Great job and such a lovely and professional bloke. Was recommended by a mate who had his Mk7 done by him and agree...

Almost 3 months old and the first minor aesthetic mods have gone on. Bugs me the coolant cap isn't horizontal. Now just need HP to get the matching washer caps in to complete the picture.

Hope you got the guilty party's details, my heart goes out to you. How many panels?

Devo WEB, what a crap day! I noticed on yesterday's wash I've got a stone chip on the bonnet. The first cut is the deepest.

Sorry for the delayed response Sam, thanks for the detailed reply!

I am only planning to track it very occasionally and have zero track experience so probably will never notice. Given all of the...

Picked up my manual Golf R Grid this morning, haven't been able to get the sh*t eating grin off my face all day. What a beast!

Just for you Benny, I'm in love...

Thanks Ozsko. The VMR 718s I’m looking at are pretty much spot on the best estimate of the 19” Spielberg’s (26lbs/11.8kgs) floating around another forum so increased weight shouldn’t be an issue....

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been addressed previously, had a search but couldn't find the answer.

I was after advice/opinion on whether an increase of ~5mm of scrub radius will have a...

Justin Cavanagh at Sydney City VW (Botany) has always been great when my clutch pack needed doing or sorting DSG updates etc on my Mk6 118. The rest of the service dept can be pretty hit and miss but...

Are VMR wheels alright for occasional track use?

Delivery 30 June, will do!

It is indeed a manual, base model no extras, new not demo

Yeah got a great price. $45,990 drive away!!!

Hi all, I just joined the club! Signed on the dotted line for a Pure White Golf R Grid manual. Delivery date 30 June.

Cannot. Bloody. Wait.

After VGA confirming the next Golf GTI won't be coming to Aus in manual (making the Polo GTI manual even less likely) I have bitten the bullet and gone for a EOFY Golf R Grid Manual :)
Got a great...

And if the new manual misses LC and the DSG gets it, the difference will be even greater.

I don't find my DSG boring either, I love the fast shifts when hammering it but for me it's still an auto and thus it's the difference between steering and driving.

The limited dealer specs I've got have it as a 6 speed DSG

If 0-100 in 6.0 with semi-slicks below is legit, oh baby! A bit of sticky rubber and some wider wheels here I come. Will cop the fully optioned price, it's still 10-11k better than a tricked out Golf...

Interestingly the dealership I've been talking to in anticipation of the GTI coming out later this year has told me there has not been an official internal change of view from head office in regards...

Hi all,

Long time reader, finally decided to register.

Just pre-ordered the Polo GTI in manual, apparently nothing firm from VGA about not getting the manual in Aus yet.
