Lovely!! Very nice example of a TDI. Loving the number of us on here.  :grin: Car is looking very clean. Have you done much to it performance-wise? Interior?

Can you explain a bit more your custom R32 back box? I got twin GTI-look pipes added to the back of mine, like below. Just wondering if your's are similar (but in the middle, obv).  :popcornsoda:

Cheers Dodds, It's standard engine and interior.
I got Billy at CAS in Shotts to do the exhaust, It's just twin 3 1/2" pipes, I'll take a pic for you.

Cheers for the nice comments guys
I'm actually thinking of selling the motor :ashamed:

Car looks great, not usually a big fan of red cars but this looks really classy.
Even better for it being a TDi!  :happy2:

Could you give me somemore info on the exhaust??
I'm planning on fitting an R32 rear at somepoint in the future and Shotts isn't too far off.
Is it just a "Y" pipe or does it include a silencer?
Is it any louder than before?

Cheers,
Des.

welcome and great to see more TDI's being played with. :happy2: :happy2: :happy2:
I like the way the BBS CH's on your car. :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

What are the specs?

Mind making a video of the exhaust and how it sounds?

I like it a lot. :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Not Billy from CAS this time but woth looking at W80ody's exhaust in his build thread. He has an R32 rear valance and straight exit pipes. See below:  :happy2:


Had a custom exhaust made up for it; sounds surprisingly good (for a diesel)
