It also gives it an extra 10bhp.

if you get the one with red stitching thats another 12.5bhp

Fit one from an R32, you'll lessen the wheelspin off the line...

I fitted one from an R36 and couldn't believe the extra room I gained in the back of the car.

 :grin:

On a similar tip, I fitted one from an early Passat CC and lost one of my back seats.

Where is the original thread this takes 'inspiration' from, please?

I recently fitted an F1 wheel to my car. Not only did i lose a load of space but it costs a bloody fortune to fill up, does sh*te mpg and tyres are extortionate  :fighting: but...............

Fook me it's quick  :happy2: :grin:

You might be better trying to install one of these wheels :driver:

Hopefully you can fit one from a Renault Megane and lap the Ring faster than everything ever.  :laugh:
