Would love it if they can retrofit these. Not so bothered about the red calipers but really want a better sounding exhaust note.

hehe didn't really have anything to add until now as it's our first Golf! The closer it gets the longer it seems to take  :grin:

Picked my car up this morning, can confirm - it sounds amazing!!

It was the first S&S the dealer had sold so we all stood around whilst he blipped the gas pedal through the door with big grins on our faces :D

Can confirm the exhaust sounds amazing from the cabin too.

The car in general is just amazing, and the Night blue in the sun is unbelievable. Working in the office today so counting down the minutes to lunch break....

Lol, yeh, I know the rules ;)

It's just been had a water jet - no hand wash yet (at my request). Can't imagine how it will look after a proper detail!

Looking good ffrank - I really like the blue, it'll look great when it's been fully detailed.

Excellent news on the exhaust! Glad that option was added :)

Looks awesome. A video of the sound would be great considering the thread title...  :whistle:
