--- Quote from: tony_danza on December 02, 2009, 11:41:09 pm ---The ethos of the GTI has always been the same - MKI to MKVI:
To look as normal on Knightsbridge as it does on a pub car park. To have the admiration and respect of the 'cool' and still get the door opened by the consierge at a plush hotel without him looking down his nose at you. To be able to drop the wife off at work without making her wince and then drive home like you're about to shat your pants.
I think sometimes people convince themselves that the money they've spent on mods is always a step towards perfection. Sometimes they aren't and you make it worse. I praise Dave for trying both sides and evaluating as he sees it.

And at qd, sorry to hear the honeymoon period was over so fast, but I'm glad you've put an impartial write up of your experiences! ;)

Very True Mike. But ETTO.

....Sounds exactly like the script from the Mk5 advertising boys mixed with Jeremy Clarkson. :grin:
Hey, ALL sorts of people do ALL sorts of mods or NOT to their GTI's - There's no wrongs and no rights but only personal/individual preferences.

....No self convincing is needed - For some (me as just one example) the mods do result in a more 'perfect' car. But one man's meat is another man's poison, I think is how the expression goes. Long live both! [and no-one is having a go at Dave for his approach]
ETTO :happy2: 8) :happy2:

I was talking about the ethos, the car you pick up from the dealers and what you 'buy into'. What you do with it from there is your own take on it.
Jezza (and what of his quote I could remember) summed it up from its birth to date.

....And I was referring to it as a car with a long tradition of being modified. Hence our difference.

Hurdy:
My VF engine and transmission mounts are in and I have to say that they do transmit some engine sound through into the cabin, but what a sound - I love it. Not too loud for me and enables you to "feel" the engine more without being OTT. The engine doesn't move at all now and load transmission to the wheels is immediate and crisp. The BSH mounts are virtually a carbon copy of the VF mounts I installed.
This is another great little mod and one I can recommend as long as you like the sound and the other half isn't too worried about it too. :happy2:
