Sounds to me like buy a 1.8t get it mapped an buy the interior from the V5 is the way to go then

same interior though unless the V5 was fitted with leather as standard  :undecided:

No but it seems leather in the V5 is alot more common than in the 1.8t's.

Not completely the way to go.....

R32 interior is the way to go but can go for as much as £1500.00 for a good one

One on eBay now at £700 and it's not going up yet but the last 2mins will be a different story :wink:

Agree with you there Rhys

But if a set (R32's) came up at a good price I may be tempted..
