^ That's yours isn't it, Andy Wigit? Looks soooo much better imo with those wheels. Absolutely transforms the Rocco, as do the aftermarket wheels on SteveP's Mk6 GTI.

[Andy tells his new wife that he's never heard of Castle Combe and someone must have cloned their Rocco's number plate cos he's never driven it on track :wink:]

I saw them and was trying to work out where they were shot from.
I am thinking somewhere on Avon Rise??  :confused:

It's definitely not a TFSI and they were very cagey about it.

I had a look and reckon it's a 1.8T with a GT35. Dialynx hasn't done much with the new 2.0T but they've tuned the 1.8T to the max in years gone by.

Edit: GT40 and ~ 500 bhp
