Just scene tax Robin, your common or garden stuff is fine, but anything with an ounce of rarity seems to double in price as soon as it lands on a VAG forum.

Usual trick is to get a few key people to talk something up, go to a few shows and be seen/scene, then sell them for a rediculous amount of money a few weeks later in the hype. Usually to some kid who gets up to their eyeballs in debt trying and play with the big boys and so it goes on and on...

I'd prefer to simply get back what they owe me and sell them to someone who is going to use them for what they were intended.
Sideways yo!

Thanks for that Tony, I have seen "scene tax" quoted a few times but was a bit ignorant as to the meaning! :ashamed:

....Not exactly. I bought from you direct after speaking with you on the phone. Generally I still don't trust eBay but you checked out as ok.

Cheers everyone, they seem to work well.

Deako, sadly I won't be on track on the 5th - I'm away, damn it. Theyll have to be saved for the C-GTI Trackday Tour end of season, preying for Cadwell!!

I didn't get it when they were silver on the floor.

But in white on the car - absolutely stunning :drool:

Damn, thats a shame. I know you enjoy Curborough. Im taking the Mk5 on track now too!!!  :sad1:

Will see if i can make the end of season wherever it turns out to be. Would enjoy giving the Mk5 a blast on a proper track.
