Are these 18” silver Prets?CM or VW? How long have you had them?I notice you have a TCR lip spoiler. V subtle.
Went to try out a MK8 CS today, honestly, I wasn't hugely blown away. I kind of expected a bit more in terms of refinements and driving dynamics over my 7.5 PP. Got my eye on a TCR which has a nice spec which is starting look more and more tempting.
Thanks. Happy with the CM Prets?I bought my OEM TCR lip spoiler before alternatives were available. It’s a perfect fit…..but so it ought to be!!I love how it gives a subtle kick up to the profile. So subtle in fact that 5 years on my wife has yet to notice. The other discreet TCR change I fitted was the red-ringed centre caps which just lift the Parkers and nod to the red callipers.

Got my eye on a TCR which has a nice spec which is starting look more and more tempting.I had a 7PP and the TCR felt a worthwhile step up. Perhaps for you less so given you have a 7.5 but the engine for me is so much better. Less low down talk (which is good as less slip and no wheel hop) but when it kicks in it just keeps giving and feels a lot stronger. Horses for courses but I much prefer it.
I think I need to go and have a look at one and a good test drive to decide if its worthwhile parting with the extra pennies. What I'm realising more and more is that there's nothing else new or newer that's really interesting on the market (to me anyway).
