Just checked out your music pal, just shows how wrong u can be, don't know why but I had u down as a much younger bloke, probably the enthusiasm you seem to throw into your car and the mods. Lovin your music and will be orderin your album very soon. top bloke

....Thanx :smiley:. I've got myself down as a much younger bloke too! I'm 60yo and probably having my second childhood. Or rather, I've never really grown up. There's a saying: "I don't mind growing old, just as long as I don't have to grow up!" Without going into personal stuff, I've been around my fair share of death and am enthusiastic about life! It's not difficult to get enthusiastic about driving a GTI.

Glad to hear you like my music. That first track "Either Side Of Now - Medley" is a sample of the 11 trax/66mins on the album. It costs £10 by contacting the email on my MySpace page. I'd love to offer a discount but we are needing to recover costs for professional mastering and CD production. The best I could offer is a discount on a group buy, sending to just one address with a minimum order of 5 @ £8 each, which is what we offer to shops.

Cheers! :smiley:

Its nice but i would get rid of the R32 alloys and get some Monza 2's as they do look good an a red GTI

Yeah, I agree the 18'' Monza's look great on red Gti's
Where will I get a set of these?
I see copies on Ebay but I want originals not replica's
Any idea???

Is it my eyes robin, or does your rear valance paint match to the rest of the car look wrong??? maybe the light shining on it but it looks two different colours?? maybe colour code the rear sensors too??.

Hi Phil,

It's a pretty good match in real life. Tornado Red is tricky in photographs and you'll also see colour variations elsewhere in that pic.

I'm going to be changing the rear valance and also the boot badge to black carbonfibre in the next few months and so I'll decide then whether to colour code the reversing sensors. I'll use an Ed30/R32 upper section.

Once you get your car, pop down to the local stealers...im sure they can help you out but expect to pay quite a bit....Get Some Monza 2's...get rid of those chrome eye lids or even get them in Red...and you would have a very very nice motor imo..... :smiley:

In the UK, a new set of Monza 18's with tyres fitted cost around £2,100 according to which tyre you choose.

Yeah mate, thats cheap alright, but if I was changing the wheels I think I'd only go for the Monza 2's
Thanks anyway......
