Owen. 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi All,As the title says, i'm new! I bought the Golf VR6 Highline off "AfterEight". Drove it up the road (York to Aberdeen) Must say, was great fun! I just can't wait to make the car as mint as possible! I have some questions and more than anything want your opinions....This is obviously down to opinions but what combintation of both exhaust and filter gives good performance and looks good?Poly Bushes, has anyone replaced the bushes on the VR6 "Highline" unsure if the Suspension is set up slightly different?Lower Spliiter, I noticed the most common choice is the big plastic/rubber splitter fitted to the front bumper. However i was looking for something that could be pssibly be painted. Has anyone got any ideas?ThanksAny help would be great.....Owen. Link to post Share on other sites

Focker-out 0 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hey i gather this is Owen that had the Cupra R Ibiza??I have a milltek with a BMC on my car, although i had a panel filter in my old Golf there is very little difference.Personally id steer clear of "open cone" filters such as Ram Airs, K&N etc as these tend to heat soak and lose you power.If you need any more info just gimme a shout Martin Link to post Share on other sites

Owen. 0 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hi Martin, Yeh sold it to my brother. I'm really enjoying the golf. I ordered the lights for the outside yesterday. Trying to keep the car as subtle and clean as possible. i do have various questions but i'll keep them to myself just now as i'm sure like every other forum people get sick of repeated posts....I remember your last VR6, why did you sell it? You like the new one, i prefer it with the Porsche wheels on, looks real good!Thanks Martin,Pete. I like the miltec, however i'm wanting my car to be different from every other...Yeh, met After Eight on the Saturday night. He was more than helpful and very sound person to deal with....Also seen his Lotus (lucky bastard he is!) Anyway pete, yeh i'll post pics up, i 'll take them tomorrow and post them up. The car is totally standard. I've polished the car three or four times and the only defects i've found are minimal stone chips and one very minor parking dent. better head off to bed....Thanks for the help guys...hopefully get to meet some of you's at shows this year.Owen.
