new alloys for my SEL

[Zackie]

Just picked up my SEL Estate with Sport Pack today - I love the Monte Carlo wheels! Prefer them to the 18" Monza 2's I had on my Golf GTI!

Wouldn't have thought the Monte Carlo wheels would affect the ride significantly on an SE - unless they are 18's.

Try www.uk-mkivs.net for a number of people offering partsw at discount. I used the site a lot in the last few years (had 3 x VW Golfs!) and never paid full whack for parts. Normally, if you can provide a part no someone will be able to help.

Lucky git... what is it... 170bhp...

170 DSG in Steel Grey. Really like it - was sore at having to grow up and trade-in the Golf, but am well-happy now. That said, I did get a parking ticket within 3 hours of collecting it! I did buy a ticket from the machine, but seemingly I used the wrong machine - ***?!

It was a stock car so didn't get the MF Steering Wheel I wanted - so I've bought an R36 MFSW off eBay and will get that fitted. Has gear paddles - can't wait!

That's the only mod I'm making, though - Mrs Z will be plenty annoyed if I spend the kiddies' milk money on the car!

Got 11% discount on the car so well happy - drove BMW 320D but would've had to spend about 7K extra to get the same spec - and gearbox still wouldn't have been as good as DSG!
