Not overkeen TBH, but thats probably because its still at the original ride height.

Get it lowered and the wheels refurbed in a darker colour and im sure it will look 100% better.

Either way, its your own car so do what you like.!

wheels cleaned up and dropped on coilovers and it'll transform how it looks Tiff.

The VW scene is way different to the ford scene what with most things going for the 'euro' look - you aint never gonna get a great reply about a diesel estate on here lol!

I like it



..not as much as the Audi though

drives way to good for the mileage. if it wasnt on the dashboard i wouldnt belive it had done that many miles.

It was actually before releasing it that i got gassed lol. i didnt twist it to lock it on, just put it on and pulled trigger back and locked it on at the handle - kind of blew itself off the nozzle when i pushed the 'fill' button to say i jumped would probably be understatement of the year

50% of people hate it, and 50% of people take a strong dislike towards it? :P


I'm personally not a fan, don't think they suit the car at all.

i still have a mare at times and in fact i might start a whole post on how i nearly REALLY fucked up

i noticed recently on trip to liverpool that certain garages have different nozzles which are MILES easier. They lock easily on turn then you just pull the handle backwards to lock instead of the trigger clip.
