Sorry to be a pest, but does anyone have any thoughts on these. Im super keen but just wanted to make sure people agree these will fit my MY11 Tsi 118 Mk6

VW golf 6 , mk6 carbon side mirrors - eBay (item 270702396953 end time Mar-07-11 11:27:50 PST)

Thankyou so much

all Mk6 Golf's, from the R to the very base one, here, UK, USA and German; should all have the same mirror design. (pls correct if i'm wrong anyone?)

the question is, are you confident these no name no brand carbon fibre side mirrors will fit perfectly although it's only US$150 + shipping?
or has anyone in this forum bought from this 'antr3s' ebay seller?

personally i'd wait for OSIR to release the MK6 carbon mirrors, but OSIR mirrors set for Mk5 sells for >AU$500.

Personally I think that if OSIR were going to do them for the MK6, they'd already have done it.
So if you want carbon fibre mirrors for you 118TSI, you may just have to bite the bullet and do it. Someone always has to be the guinea pig. Let us know how it goes!

i'd be very keen to see how the carbon fibre mirrors fit to your 118TSI

if you decide to buy them, take a lot of photos (before fitted and after fitted) and post them here and let us know what you think and how they fit.

Are you sure? Their site only mentions K03 and doesn't mention anything about compatability with any K04 model (inc Pirelli / ED30 in the MKV pages, or audi S3 etc).
Also, did you select the ceramic coating option to prevent rust? Or are you planning to paint the exhaust yourself? Or just not bother?


Edit: Whilst 42DD's site doesn't mention anything about K04 model compatibility, I've found documentation which states that the K03 and K04 turbo flange are the same. However, I'd still be concerned about fitment to the R as it has a drive staff in that area that the GTI's don't. Did they confirm that it will fit on the Audi S3 and Golf R (since as stated, their site makes no mention).

The K03 and K04 are absolutely identical in terms of look and housing size. The only difference is that the K04 has a slightly larger compressor/exhaust wheel to flow more air. So if its fits the intake housing on a K03 then it will also fit a K04.

Um... that's what my "Edit" said!
However, it seems that the downpipe still turned out to be not suitable due to the AWD of the R. I believe they're working on an update or a new version or something though...

Custom Auto & Truck Accessories, All Weather Floor Mats, Vent Visor

Ordered a custom-fit (well 4 a gti anyway) sunscreen-shade from the site above.. Should be delivered tomorrow after waiting approx. 4 weeks. Tried to find something similar in Oz to no avail & got bored looking!
Hopefully it's worth the money! The one I've been using folds in on itself anything above 30 & as I park outdoors all day thought it was a good idea...

Also purchased an Escort 9500ix to keep me sane - not from the same site I might add!

Can anyone think of a nice boost gauge for a GOLF R?

Do you guys think it's a bad look? Does it depend on where you install it?

Thoughts feelings all welcome.

[Corey_R]

Hey REXman.

Fergus asked the same thing here for the Golf GTI. I then responded about 9 posts later with a few options. He then found another digital option which he talked about.

See how you go.
