What Accessories are you buying for your MK6 Golf?

[GtiGolf]

Hey Ryan,
Got a brand new torque arm insert sitting here at home if your interested.
Fitted it for a day and got rid of it. Bit too harsh in drive at idle for me.

Anyone else had the same ?

Your car is still looking very schmick Adam. You keep it very clean.

Thanks Stu, but like you can talk. Need some shots of your newie in the photo thread!

[Ryan_R]

Thanks GG but probably too late to cancel the order now

Your car's looking great. Got any videos showing the CAI noise while driving?

[GtiGolf]

I'm writing a quick short experience of mine recently purchasing a Milltek exhaust from a local distributor (a sponsor here on VWW) vs a friend who decided to go direct and purchase it from an overseas distributor.

I ordered the exhaust 2nd week September and was advised that it will tentatively arrive at the end of the month, September. To which I agreed to the tentative time frame knowing that I will be around to pick it up when it arrives. To date, I am still receiving unconfirmed dates as to when it will be here. That really isn't my problem, what have frustrated me is the total lack of communication partly due to the fact there are too many middle men. Little did I know, making this order from this distributor would then be passed on to a local retailer/workshop and it then becomes the responsibility of the last party in the chain to service my requests. Each time I ring up to get an update, the retailer will have to email or contact another person. They are not able to advise me a shipping tracking number, delays if any, etc. I am now heading off overseas for 2 weeks for work, and if I do not receive it tomorrow I will be requesting for a refund.

On the other hand, a friend who made his purchase overseas, received a tracking number and was much more well informed over his purchase.

Local retailers are whinging about how sales are crashing in Australia, I now understand why. Again, I'd like to highlight, not all local distributors/retailers are the same for I have also had some very good experiences with some.

They are not bad people, just I believe the process could be clearer. They have taken my full payment, I realised should have just been a portion until I pickup the goods. I'm not trying to shame anyone hence why I'm not revealing names but just wanting to share an experience of buying locally - there are also risks.

Tell em the price son. I'm guessing local was more expensive as well?

My Milltek Catback Resonated GT-100 costed $1250. A mate got his Golf R version for $1200 shipped.

Thanks for sharing mate, although that's a bit OT for this thread. There's a fairly lengthy thread on this subject in the Tuning section, you might like to have a read and contribute there.
