How log you going uni for here?

Ship the car over?

3 or 4 years, still not sure, i wouldnt mind driving up itself just the idea of the steering wheel being on the wrong side would be abit....more difficult maybe? Will probably get a car whilst there, just wont be a GTI due to insurance, i beleive its bit more harder to get insurance over there rather than here in Gibraltar...my sis got a car for uni so if i dont get one i will need to take action.... :smiley:

was just hoping maybe there was some one the forum that knew how to do this...will need to wait for TT or Red Robin to get online xD....maybe some one else  :smiley:

....The exhaust layout under the Mk5 R32 is different from the GTI but I guess you could get the back box and exit pipes custom made. If I was going to that much trouble I'd go to Milltek and get a stainless steel performance exhaust made up by them. They offer Millteks on both R32 and GTI so could possibly combine. You don't want to muck about with the cat end.

A couple of GTI drivers have done it so it should be easy enough. There's one on Tyresmoke I'll try and check out for you.

Thanks :)...If i were to email milltek, and ask them if they could set it up do you think they would give a descent price or would they over charge as im asking for something "custom"

doesn't the spare wheel well get in the way for the r32 backbox like with the mk4's ? the boot floor is raised for the rear diff clearance.

....I know Phil Millington, boss of Milltek - He's a straightforward guy who won't take advantage of you. He cares about long term customers and Milltek's reputation. Their products are guaranteed for as long as you own the car, no matter how long that is. Stainless steel is also maintenance free - Just polish the exit pipe tips.

....That's what I was getting at. And the R32 has its battery back there too.

Contact Milltek - They know the differences and what's possible.

Will call milltek during todays period and see what they have to offer or how they can help. Should i try speaking directly to Phil and mention that you reccomended me RedRobin? Or Should i just speak to the first guy that picks up the phone??

Personally, I dislike R32 exhaust. Just the placement, of course, not the sound.
