Milltek, Blueflame or custom made exhausts.
Pipercross panel filter  :smiley:

thanks all.  hopefully get some shopping done soon.  picked the car up today rather than tomorrow.  love it.   silly question follows...... although the book says 2.0 GTi, the car itself has no GTi badges? is this normal for a car of this year?

Cheers.

AFAIK from what I've heard the Mk4 2.0 wasn't always badged as a GTI. Mind you, many would say that it's performance isn't enough to justify the GTI badge.

Besides which, it's a 7 year old car, the badges could have been removed during that time by a previous owner.
