Did you buy the car with the R32 steering wheel or did you purchase the steering wheel seperately? If so how much did you pay for the wheel?

TM TUNING

probably not going to find it much cheaper unless it's coming off a wrecked car.

Actually might possible be cheaper from the stealers because of the exchange rate now

Lucky for me I used to work at a dealer, dodgy warranty claim

it's actually a Golf Gti wheel, I purchased the R badge and replaced it. Total cost $23.

3 Things I love about my Polo GTI.

1. LOOKS Its looks.

Its all of the little things that I love about my car…IMO they all make it look great and not too over the top. I love the Honeycomb grill. I love the shape of the headlights. I love the original wheels. (Although mine have seen better days.) I love the leather interior (especially when its cold). I love the sunroof (use it everyday). The sound of the horn is awesome. (its such a happy sound

)

2. QUALITY Everything has a quality feel to it that makes it a pleasure to

. The way most people are impressed by it. Whenever it is parked in my street I hear positive comments- like “That car looks nice.” Whenever I have a passenger I hear positive comments- like “The seats are comfy.” Not once have I ever had a passenger that has not said something good about it.

3. SOLIDNESS I love the solidness of it. It feels like a strong and well made car, despite the creaks and a few rattles.

The solid shut of the doors. Also how the doors have a heavy feel to them and you can tell they would protect you if you were in an accident. Generally the solidness makes you feel safe and secure.

The most annoying thing…THE BEEPING NOISE THAT IT MAKES WHEN YOU START UP AND DON’T HAVE YOUR SEAT BELT ON. CAR….STOP BEEPING AT ME!!! That’s so annoying!

And you can't open the boot from the inside...that so

.

You can fix the beeping noise through the dealer: Mine only beeps when I start driving without a seat belt. And also, you can open the boot from the inside by pressing the unlock key which unlocks all the doors, including the boot.

Are they actually bringing this out??? I always thought diesel was pretty much just that... diesel.

It's just the crud they get from the bottom of the tank, yet it's more expensive than Premium ULP sometimes!!!

sorry to answer a off topic message with a off topic message. but im pretty sure , that oil being a very long hydro carbon chain. diesel is infact a less refined fuel , in the whole fractional distilation scheme of things.

pretty simple really oil goes in and is seperated by verious stages of heating.
now back on topic, my mum borrowed my car today,(she has no idea about vws) she said she almost shat herself when she put her foot down (she drives a yaris)... to conclude i love the thrill factor and surprise it puts into people driving it lol
