We R owners are going to have to get together for a drive soon.

Give me 2 weeks and I'll be back home with my R!

Another reason for detuning for Oz is probably also down to issues with lower quality fuels running in high compression cars like the R that may be used over here. You would think using 98RON like BP Ultimate etc all the time then the chance of knocking etc and damage to pistons is greatly reduced.

and yet people will still cheap out on fuel. if it has to do with fuel quality, lower octane fuels in europe all have the same quality as a fuel like bp 98 has. in terms of sulphur and some other thing i can't remember.

NICEEE!!!! Thanks for the link!

Anyone bought this yet? It's a steal compared to the OSIR ones IMHO.

Best of all, quick delivery since the seller is in Melbourne! I purchase my Carivue RCD510 screen protectors on 3/1/11 and am still waiting for them....zzz.....

It says in the listing that they are brushed stainless steel.

Arnt the OSIR ones stainless steel also.

This sellers selling them free post too.

Pretty good value.

I'm buying a set now

main difference between these and the OSIR ones are that these don't have the rubber inserts for the slots, so they don't quite look the same as the standard VW pedals , only thing that has stopped me buying them.

similar styled footrests are also available from VW GOLF MK5 MK6 MKV GTI FOOTREST PEDAL R32 TURBO on eBay (end time 14-Feb-11 12:25:40 GMT)
