I'm still a bit on the fence with the TCR, very tempted, but I'm really enjoying the manual still and I don't need to change.
To be fair, it would be a hell of a lot of money to swap cars and yours is in fantastic condition and still hits the spot with you.
With a few additions you could have some of the best parts of the TCR or Ed40 without spending extortionate amounts.
A set of Belvederes maybe, and/or a TCR or PP Golf R roof spoiler, possibly some tailpipe sleeves to make the pipes look bigger...
Even a low torque remap won’t break the bank or upset the insurers too much.
The wheels would always have resale value so overall ownership cost isn’t huge on them and other inexpensive mods have enjoyment value.
I highly doubt you’d regret buying a TCR if you went that way but the actual hurdle of buying it in the first place is a massive one when you look at the £££ involved. You’d have to keep it a fair while to justify the spend but the parts it has over and above yours are quite significant if you add them all together.
These cars are just getting so expensive now.
It’s gone too quiet on here for my nosey tastes.
Quiet? There’ll be tumblweed in here once the mk8 GTI is out
I was tempted by white but I think the grey will look even better.
Definitely grey if you have the choice.
I love the white but would have much preferred grey
