I've seen a 500bhp S3 with a TDI badge on - now that's worth doing!  :signLOL:

Was it white by any chance, lad in the North East owns it?

Is it running on TD 1.2s?

No idea mate, I'm not a wheel man.

If it's the same one, I was in it a couple of years ago, rapid.

That's when rebadging is funny!

So many nobs do it round my way!! Really grinds me!!

Young lad has a MK6 1.4 that has the worst rep GTI kit on I have ever seen and two jap style exhausts that stick out of the arse end about 12 inches! Guess what, it is badged up as a GTI. He goes round every ragging the sh*t out of it and tries to race me at every possible opportunity  :fighting: :fighting:

Guy near me has a horrible body kit on his TDI. When he saw my GTI he said his was an 'Edition 30 so was a bit quicker then mine'. Didnt tell him that they never made a diesel edition 30 but keeps me amused  :happy2:
