    Bilstein B14

    Just had these fitted to replace the standard shocks and VWR springs, the car now sits lower (they're adjustable so can raise or lower even more), handles much better and surprisingly rides better over speedbumps and potholes.

    New wheel colour

    So I decided against getting new wheels after the feedback from my earlier thread, but I've had them repainted instead. The colour is VW Carbon Steel Grey which is a bit darker than the last colour I had, quite happy with the way they've turned out.

    GTD - stick with 18s or change to 19s?

    Currently running 18" Nogaros painted in Gunmetal but seriously considering getting bigger wheels. I really like the three below but can't decide a) if it's worth it, and b) if it is what to go for. Thoughts?

    New wheels

    Thinking of changing my wheels to 19s, after much searching I've narrowed it down to these. Thoughts or any alternative ideas appreciated.

    DAB Radio

    Anyone else got terrible reception in the UK? Literally can't get a signal on over half of the stations, problem only seems to have developed quite recently. Car is a 2014 GTD.

    Clutch Pedal

    I've been driving my mates Audi S3 today and the main thing I noticed after getting back into my GTD was the weight of the clutch pedal compared to the S3, it's so much heavier in the Golf it took me quite a while to re-adjust. So is my clutch on the way out or is this normal for the GTD...

    Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres

    Just ordered two for the front to replace the Michelin PSS I have now which are down to less than 2mm, not sure if it's a wise move as they might be a bit extreme for road use but all the reviews I've read said they're excellent in both wet and dry conditions. Anyone got any experience of using...

    Black VW badges

    Thoughts? I must admit I'm not sure, think I might put the originals back on:

    Brake Discs

    Anyone upgraded theirs? Thinking of getting Tarox discs and pads all round, my pads need replacing and the discs look a bit worn. Gonna cost about £800 to replace everything but the brakes are the only 'standard' thing left on my car.

    Squeaking noise at low speed

    Sounds like it's coming from the front suspension area, not too bad but slightly irritating. I've got VWR springs fitted, I know it could be a number of things but could it be the bushes need upgrading with something like these...

    More power?

    Ok so I've got the custom remap, Milltek exhaust, upgraded air filter etc, is there anywhere else I can go to extract more power without destroying the engine? My car is probably putting out about 240 bhp at the moment but I'd like to get a bit more if possible (without buying a Golf R before...

    New front splitter and rear valance

    I originally had the Maxton splitter but took it off because I wasn't sure about the looks plus it was a nightmare going over speedbumps and parking on kerbs. Got this Kerscher one today and think it looks much better, plus it doesn't drop down as much as the Maxton so no problems over...

    Brake Pads

    I'm still on the original set after 23k miles but braking performance seems to be getting worse, is there an indicator which will tell me when its time to replace or will I have to wait till they start squealing? Visually they look quite low but they aren't making any noise yet. As for...

    Fitting the Golf R front bumper to GTD

    Is this possible without much modification? Anyone done it? I fitted a front splitter but think its gonna have to come off, it keeps catching on speed bumps / kerbs etc and is becoming a pain in the backside, it's already scuffed and will eventually probably get ripped off. I still want to do...

    DTE Pedal Box

    Got one of these today, was a bit sceptical but took the plunge after reading lots of positive reviews online. I must say it makes a massive difference to the throttle response, on the most extreme setting it is actually TOO responsive, but there's loads of settings so its easy to find a...

    Front splitter for Mk7 GTD / GTI

    Thinking of getting one for my GTD, any recommendations? Seen a nice Reiger one on eBay for £220 but can't decide whether to go Carbon look or get it colour coded.
