Subtle mods for the TCR

Thought I’d add a picture, think it sets it off a treat!

That does look very smart I also quite like the TCR logo on the hatch.

Where did you get the tailgate logo from, is it smaller than the one on the side.I have not seen any TCR with the tailgate logo.

I’d love say it was my idea and here’s where to get it from, sadly it was on there when I got the car ☺️

That's a shame dobb3r I am looking to get one for my TCR.I can find the ones from the side but the tailgate one looks smaller.

You can choose size and colour from this company - https://shop.zengraphics.co.uk/vw-volkswagen-golf-gti-tcr-decals-stickers-graphics-side

Thank you for the link can not believe I did not find this already.

I've done nothing to my TCR but on my previous PP I fitted a Racingline turbo elbow and intake pipe. Not a huge difference but noticeable so if you want to keep things simple I'd recommend them. Plus a nice bit of under bonnet eye candy

Would you be able to give a rough price of how much that cost?. I'm thinking of changing a few things on my stock 14 GTi to make the engine noise sound better. Those parts might be an option or possibly just a RacingLine intake on it's own?

Then I can completely disable or massively reduce the soundaktor volume with OBD11

I've also done a bit or research on here about intakes and everyone seems to say "RacingLine or nothing" essentially. I know cheap ones will be rubbish with filtering and risk damage. There are a few other advanced options but the RL one just seems to be the most obvious and safest option

[Watts]

Replacement pipe and elbow will be around £200, the Turbo Technics and Forge all in ones a bit cheaper but not much in it. There are cheaper alternatives which may well be just as good. They won't make much difference to engine noise though.

I guess it's mostly visual then is it?
Just trying to find a way to scrap the soundaktor noises without ploughing loads of money into the car
