I'm surrounded by bloomin' black Golfs
- most of them Mk.7's, but at least mine's the only Variant/Estate.
The mirror flip just means I turned the interior mirror upside down, as I prefer the way it looks and it still auto-functions just fine.
Early days for the harmonic damper, but seems to be most effective on concrete roads and so a good mod so far.
The airbox duct removal is just for sh*ts and giggles to see what effect it would have. I've left the 'snow grate' in and there is now a little extra low-tone induction noise, but it's subtle enough that SWMBO hasn't noticed yet. I did used to drill holes/fit better feed pipes to airboxes to my and some of my mates cars way back for noise and the promise of an extra 0.05 BHP
I've played with modding the standard airduct and will refit it sometime in the summer, but there's no way I'm spending megabucks on some fancy induction kit. As far as I can tell, the standard VW airbox is exactly the same as one on a 230+ PS 2 litre GTi, so it should be flowing more than enough for my 1.5...
