The steering wheel someone was breaking a GTI in brum its actually got the paddles and mine is a manual which was a shame but I dont really mind them being there hardly notice them...
The wheels do look bigger In that photo it looks like I have lowered it but I havent... Tempted though when I look at that pic... although I had said to myself that the windows was my last mod need to start saving the pennies towards a white scirocco although I love the golf that much I dont know If I could sell it!

Not lowered - seriously?
You must of had something heavy in your boot/back seats then fella? That wheel arch gap isn't natural of an empty factory car!  Looks good though.

Good find with the wheel. It's always been at the back of my mind to look for one but every time i do, they're few and far between to say the least.
Another Rocco convert on the cards? Hmmm... 

Is it the TDI engine you're after in the Roc?

[Brooko19]

Not lowered and nothing in the boot or the back I think it must just have been the way it was parked.... or maybe he had sumat heavy in the boot when he was tinting the windows because i had just reversed it out of his garage when i took the pic..

Yea it took me a while to find the wheel.. few on ebay but they fetch silly money some of them

Yea maybe I love the golf's though I can see myself prob getting a Rocco for a bit and then changing that after a while to a mk6 GTD... 
But not until at least the summer will I think of changing this one I just love the spec on it!

Yea the TDI it would have to be

Have you got a Golf?

You're lucky with the OEM stance  

The OEM GTI FBMFSW do go for silly cash, plus I don't see them often.
I've got a GTI indeed, I think you caught up with pics on my build thread mate   I've a good friend who's got an EP3 CTR but wants to make the jump to the TDI Rocco shortly.

Why do you have so many quick changes planned - don't you keep your cars long?  
I'll keep mine for at least 3.5 years of ownership I expect (18 months in so far   )

Thanks Modz... Im not planning on selling it to be honest if I was made an offer that I felt I couldnt refuse then I would sell it...

Yea Pete after I asked if you had a golf I looked through the threads and found yours it's very nice mate! 

I don't know because I love the car to bits but then I see the Rocco and want one and then I see the MK6 GTD and know that I want that 2 so I know after the Rocco ill get one of them 

Is yours the finished project now mate or you still got plans for it? I love the colour when I bought mine it was only ever be my colour or your grey!

[rdfcpete]

Thanks again dude 


I was the same as you really - had to be black or grey 
If I was you I'd aim for the Rocco - that's purely because I don't really like the MK6's but am slowly warming to the GTI's and the .:R20.

I don't like the wheels are some of the touches on the GTD but some minor modding could address my gripes with the Mk6. I still genuinely think the MK5 is a better looking car overall.

Mines nearly finished - I'm about 2 major mods and 3 minor mods from being there. By summer, it'll be running as completed by my own little standards 
What about you? Looks like you're keen to do some more... before selling
