k so does anyone know of any decent websites selling genuine gti products, things like interior stuff etc? i need some genuine gti matts

also i think one of the alloys needs a refurb.....it seems to have that white worm problem, anyone from the northwest area know of anywhere?

also, if i were to want to vinyl the front splitter thing, is there anyone local to do it ?

all help is appreciated cheers

You may be best trying eBay for the mats or the stealers.

Not too sure if Awesome have anything to suit.


These guys look very professional and know what they are doing The Wheel Specialist, a little more expensive but you pay for what you get.


Not sure about any recommendations on the Vinyl.

yeah good point mate, im in bradford so leeds aint that far, i really want to make sure i have a dealer that will look after the car if i bring it in for service, god forbid any technical problems etc

who did you use edition 30?

[Edition30]

Been to Awesome and they have a really good set up there, they can also look after your car from what I understand. Bit of travelling though over Manchester way.

If yournot bothered about a full VWservice history, I would look up the local VAG specialists.

They are a performance tuning type of company and as far as im aware they do service cars aswel. These are VAG specialists (not officially a part of VW).

Never heard of that intake. Carbonio is a popular choice but the better intakes are made by DBILAS, ITG and Forge...the twintakes are a tasty piece of kit...I understand they creat alot of Turbo chatter and sounds awesome.

Few threads about the intakes...

cool man thanks for the help! 

just been going through the service book......its had 2 services in 27k miles now and there aint no big 20k service, should i be concerned? the dealership seem preety sound so i dont doubt them and the car belonged to one of their employees.....got it from redline racing in harrogate. it seems to be driving perfectly fine , i think im just getting paranoid lol only thing is i am a total newbie learning as i go along but i reckon it should fine

40 k is the big one . That envolves alot more , and will be a steeper service bill then normal.

That CAI is not suitable for the 2.0TFSI engine your GTI has. That's for the older 1.8T block.

oooops, cheers mate, i think im going to start with the tyres before anything else, this dealership is taking the piss, the car has one or two surprises i did not want to get .....!
