Yeah 19's look better for sure, but I think the 19's would grate for ride quality.

Ours is on 19" and the ride is excellent. That's with the passive setup.

Fighting rust and removing the front arch foam blocks on mine, then measured the tyre depths 3.7mm on the front and 4.3 on the rears... 10k miles on the ps5's I expected better from them back PS4S', Conti 7's or Goodyears next.

Very nice. Are they slip on? Mine should be here in a couple of days...

They slip on to the Cobra Sport Exhaust, not the OEM it has a 2.5inch inlet on the tailpipes.

Exhaust tips fitted.




I need to shift my back box a little as it's not fully centred following the res delete fitting.
I'm also going to spin the bolt around so that it is up top out of sight.
Tips are excellent quality and fit really nicely. Pleased with them

Today I had my new Royal steering wheel fitted.

A thing of great beauty. If you had ever told me I would be doing this one day I wouldn’t have believed you.

Can’t change the car now!!!

It's such a small thing but really improves the interior and definitely more comfortable with the thicker wheel!

Wee bit of Koch Chemie Pol Star or Greenstar when it's getting quite dirty keeps it like new  :wink:

Thanks for the cleaning tip. Will keep a note.

When idly looking in a Mk8 at dealers I noticed it has a nice wheel. I think that’s what tipped me over!

As has been commented before it’s a shame VW didn’t do same for the 7/7.5.

Of course the argument has been put on this forum that if VW included all the nice wee touches worthy of such an expensive hatchback it would price itself out of the market.

If that’s the case, how does it now work for the Mk8 wheel??
