I saw that one on the Trader and it's not for me as I don't like the tinted glass at the front mate (Picky I know) :grin:

Red looks great and works with some extra gloss black. I’d definitely have a red TCR.

Can wait to see how different the mk7 is to the mk5.

Post by: Upperoilcan on 18 October 2019, 21:05: Well having got the car I'm really surprised at just how quiet it is.

Any suggestions for getting a bit more noise out of it?

I've already been advised to do a resonator delete which is on the cards.

Cheers.

Sorry, it's the fake engine noise generator. It sits outside inbetween the wipers and vibrates the windscreen to make the engine sound better/noisier (depending on how you view it). It's not overly popular but it might do what you want. The level depends on which engine mode you are in, loudest in sport. However if your car was not new and you can't hear it, it may have been turned down or even switched off (perhaps even unplugged).
