That will cost some dow, that hood!  :shocked:
I mean, it is a Golf, and here you go Hurdy ready to splash so much money.
Wouldn't be better to get something more powerful for the money, I don't know, a RS4 or something similar?

Personally, I'll do a map and suspension, then I wait for TTS or TTR... basically wait for some crazy Audi.  :smiley:

External trim would look good - not sure about the internal bits though. Have to agree with RR - carbon fibre looks best in black and the contrast with red is great :smug:

I do like the black CF bonnet with the red carbon middle section though :wink:

....I could have finished my CF bonnet with CF black centre but in reality a big expanse of carbon, especially horizontally on a bonnet, looks very glittery. So I painted mine all over externally. :cool:

i like the black stripe, more so on a white ed 30, but only really on a show car, looks at bit 2fast 2furious for everyday use. :smiley:

Yes, I will do eventually. the car will end up as a daily driver for the missis and I'll move on to something else more exotic in the VAG stable. For now I'm just enjoying splashing a bit of dosh and tinkering.

Carbon fibre parts weren't even on my radar until I saw the OSIR site and the silver CF parts  WHICH ARE NOW ON ORDER AND PAID FOR!!!!!

Mentioned RR and spoke to Dave who was very helpful and gave me an offer I couldn't refuse :rolleyes:. The TT shop is just over an hour from me and so I'm having it all fitted too :evil:

I opted out of the rear spoiler though. A step too far maybe :undecided:

I've offered up the roof spoiler on my car just out of curiosity and it def looks very OTT!!

Looking forward very much to your pics! :cool:

Cheers RR.

I've gone for the double sided silver CF bonnet without the vent. My next step is to decide whether or not to make it extra subtle by spraying the centre section (or outside section) in Reflex silver and leaving the other section/s in CF :undecided:

good looking kit, would look good!  :cool: love the black stuff too  :drool: suppose you could over do it mind, a little here and there maybe  :undecided:

....A little here and there is more tasteful imo  :cool:

Black is what carbonfibre is all about imo.

I didn't do any cf until after performance mods and I'm waiting for my warranty to run out before doing a Quaiffe ATB (limited slip diff).

I don't like the silver cf although it could look very subtle on a silver car (Hurdy!!).

Europe's sole OSIR distributor is the TTshop 01234 853 225, ask for Justin or Dave and mention my name Robin (red M5 GTI) - They are very helpful.





My nose mask and VW badge is cf:





your car is dope! love the carbon on the bumper! looks better in the flesh too  :wink:

....I don't envy you that decision about leaving the centre bonnet CF exposed or not! It took me weeks to decide and I had plenty of reference photos of black CF on red cars too. It's def best, without any doubt whatsover, to paint the 'outside' sections in silver. It's extra difficult for you because no-one has actually seen silver CF except Riso.

The Double-skin is very rigid and the whole OSIR bonnet is very well made. I don't know if you knew that Riso worked on that special American "R GTI" version. I actually find that the vent works better than I thought it would - My bonnet is never hot to the touch anymore and I can feel the heat leaving the vent.
