    Thinking about new alloys - mk7.5 gti

    That's brilliant, thanks for the reply and link. TBH my preference was the Alutec Ikenu in Gun Metal! Mine are the 18" Milton Keynes alloys as standard.

    Thinking about new alloys - mk7.5 gti

    Afternoon, my std alloys are looking a bit shabby after 6 years usage, so I’m thinking about the following: Alutec Ikenu Gun Metal - https://www.wheelbasealloys.com/alloy-wheels/alutec/ikenu/gun-metal/18-inch/volkswagen/golf-gti/mk7?year=2017 18″ Pretoria alloy wheel Set, Galvano Grey Metallic...

    Passenger side mirror shattered?

    Mine came loose today while washing the car! Didn't break as I noticed it was sliding side to side so that's saved me a few £'s. I've read get some no nails double sided tape or someone else used fishcake adhesive to reattach. Might see how much a new one is and treat myself:) A friend of my...

    Thanks for the quick reply golfdave, I'll look into getting the car into a specialist to look at corner weights etc. and go from there.

It replaced a Mk7 GTD, which also was totally standard but on factory fit 19's. I'd watched a number of videos...

    Radar Love

    I thought it might be up in the K band and above region. VW say max range 200m, that'll be detection range not actual range the beam will travel. Just found this, might help future searches: https://blog.st.com/automotive-radar-tale-two-frequencies/

    How to retro-fit the rear subframe harmonic damper from the Audi A3 Saloon (2013->)

    Just thought I would add a bit to this, all cars were driven on similar roads (lockdown FFS) at similar speeds etc. but the GTD had 19's, the 3 GTis were on 18's. All cars were fitted with different make tyres too. I found all 3 GTis were OK to be honest and not too noisy, the GTD not so good...

    Newbie, old tbh

    Afternoon, just found the site and thought I'd join after reading some of the posts. As the sig says, this is my 11th Golf, never had a mk1 or mk2, but everything in between.
