well just to be stubborn , I still like it  :cool:

carbon are nice but maybe too subtle

rare in the uk on a mkv , so thats a good thing
dont mind I'm copying Audi , because it still looks good imho (besides I am a wannabe S3  :grin:)
Gaz I can handle as he'll be to busy trying to tell me about his Haldex  :tongue: while I whisk past [wish :tongue:]

Hurdy thanks for the offer , but I need chrome (to be able to make it brushed effect)
(unless you can find a good brushed effect satin chrome finish!)

Egbert , common sense yes , but thats too boring :smiley:



It won't seem boring when you buy that GTI mk7 Turbo hybrid with a 0-60 of 4.5 seconds  :laugh:
