Yeah they would look good but having driven it i just think it will spoil the drive of it as i can just fly over pot holes etc where as with the bbs i would slow down

Seriously. You need to swap the brakes..... they are lighter than the R32s and better. Makes no sense to sell the TDi with them on it.

TDi .....to R32...

Do you have some knowledge of  an oil price change that I have missed?   :signLOL:

I went a similar route 330D to Ed 30 at a major change of job, but now very much wish i had stuck with auto/DSG. Had no idea that the M6 Birmingham is nearly as bad as M25!

No way, as above you should switch the Forge kit over as unfortunately you're not gunna get much extra value over an R32 kit when selling but are way better and lighter

Andy defo take the easy bolt on parts off like the brakes.

to swap the forge brakes to the r32 ones is easy. don't be daft and sell the tdi with those brakes on it! you won't get any more money!

put the r32 ones on your tdi .

No way. Just seen this. One of the nicest diesel, if not the nicest diesel car around.

Congrats, the new car looks well specd, but your white balance or exposure seems wrong, cause I could swear it don't look black.

Another vote for the brake swap from me! And any other part that you can see in better shape in your TDI that can be easily swapped too! :wink:

Those wheels look awesome in any Golf! But for going over potholes the Omanyts are really strong so you don't really have to fear much when driving with them. Mine are 17'' and have taken a lot with no issues over the last 7 years. :wink:

This is closest pic I could find. Not CK but the shape isn't that much different.


Or this one:
