got one of these myself , way nicer than the crappy black plastic one it came with

i use Auto Finesse Iron Out and then a clay bar

My local Dealer quoted £631 + vat for one wheel

awesome ! thanks for that

they look great ! they sit really nicely I'm thinking of ordering a set myself . did you need new wheel bolts or were the standard ones ok ? thanks

another thread on the age old problem of damaged diamond cut alloys i had to have 2 fronts repaired last year which proved quite expense , i've recently kerbed another wheel , this time on rear , just the edge but obviously the whole face woould need re-cutting to match due to the depth of the damage to be honest i'm getting pretty sick of the diamond cut finish and the cost of repairs so am considering getting new wheels and selling my current 18 inch cadiz wheels or maybe keeping them as winters ? so the eternal question is do i go 18 inch or 19 ? do i get genuine VW or are aftermarket best ? kinda want to stay VW as i know the offset and centre bore will be perfect match ,but i'm open to advice , so what are your thoughts and experiences? any photos of aftremarket wheels are more than welcome as it may help my final decision

same , wish genuine ones weren't so expensive though !

paid £269 for my 3rd service , included brake fluid change , but not haldex fluid change, be doing that myself

i've just ordered the £10 ones too

i've been told refurbing twice is the limit then the wheel is scrap ,i guess it all depends on how much material is removed from the wheel to get below the level of the damage

I’ve got these on my R , great tyres in any weather i’ve driven in so far

i think its MIB 1 as its a non - car play system , i believe the MIB 2 is on later 2016 onwards cars and has a voice button instead of the mute button ? i'm sure someone else can confirm or deny this if they have a later built car

nice colour , don't see many grey ones round my way

just checked mine ,its the yellow connector with iphone lightning end , my iphone 6 plays music perfectly ,my cars a 2105 model

that does look good

eco mode turns off the cornering lights and turns the air con down too

not a fan of 5 door cars , plus prior experience with Renaults' build quality , thats a no from me

they're in the rear bumper corners , oblong panels below the light units

Identical one in my local dealer, had a good look around when my R was in for a service, looks good in the flesh, especially with the gloss black wheels and mirrors

Not supposed to repair screens in the black banding around the edge, they tend to crack either as you drill the repair or push the resin in under pressure speaking from experience

My first cars were all small underpowered cars by today’s standards, nova SR’s , GTE’s etc. they were fun to drive without going that fast, hope the Up Gti is going to be the same

1985 Mk2 Golf Gti in green, small bumper 8v model

My local dealer is getting a demo Up Gti in, when they’re launched, i’m definitely going to book a test drive in one , is anyone else ?

i'd like to know too, my car is due service at end of month , 3 years old , 24,500 miles , if vw don't remove the pump and clean the filter i'll be doing it myself soon

hi , been lurking here for a while, finally decided to sign up i've got a 2105 torndao red 3 door thats 3 years old in april , the issue i have is that i work in the motortrade and looking at vw's warranty website i am uneligible to extend the warranty of my vehicle is it even worth extending the warranty anyway ? i've had the car over a year now and its on 22, 500 miles with no issues would going with a 3rd party be the solution and has anyone had any dealings with any ?
