Stunning mate absolutely love that colour

How you finding the PP upgrades so far?  The gearbox just gets better and faster with more miles  :smiley:

Just those dsg farts missing but the exhaust is way louder and has proper growl to it once it beds in  :cool:

Cheers!

Yeah hard to tell much difference yet, couple of trips to work and back in traffic.

Definitely can hear the difference in the exhaust, looking forward to running it in.

Gearbox seems to shift much earlier even in Sport, such as pulling away it shifts from S1 to S2 almost straight away where my previous one held on more. Probably a good thing to be fair.

OK Guys forgot to put up the part numbers and prices of the drawers yesterday (apologies). Here they are below. Not cheap but these are dealer list prices (excluding VAT), so if you have a good relation with your dealer you may be able to get some discount.



One of my friends found some at this site and ordered a pair for the bargain price of €49 for the pair ! Not sure if they still have any in stock but you could drop them a quick line. His arrived and they were in mint condition. He only needed to purchase the speed nuts to secure them to the undersides of the seat and he was done (BTW the Caddy ones are the same as the MK7 / 7.5 Golf).

I liked the under seat drawers but didn’t like them enough to spend £100 + on parts!

Would the drawers from a mk7 fit a 7.5?  I’ve got them in the match that’s being traded in and if it’s easy to do I might have a look at it.  Doubt the dealers would notice they were missing ;)

Thanks very much Sootchucker.
I'm off to pick up my new baby in an hour, and will ask if they can do me something re the prices.

Yes and it's in a different thread talking about the missing drawers on some of the newer ones coming through.
