Just went to vw Jln Ipoh to top up my E.O. The service manager showed me their big tong. Now I know why our e.o burns so fast. They r using the short interval oil 502/505. Castrol magnetic 5w-40. I called up castrol hq ,Too bad castrol Malaysia dun carry d edge 5w-30 which is d recommended long service interval oil.

3k for new rims
16k for Razor bodykit
1k for aluminium pedals

Plenty of different mods you can do with that budget. So it depends on whether you are into just pure looks or performance or even both.

So thats how they get customers back to the SC center to keep on refilling their E.O. Gonna go outside and buy my own oil already then. Lasts longer!

bro kavia, you seem to be swinging in & out of your decision to get a vw but yet u keep talking about modding your "future" car. looks like the poison is very potent brows.gif
getting the RCD510 & R LED rear lights shouldn't be a problem with customs. i just put my "replaced" stuff in my boot & drive through. the malaysian side did stop me but i just wound down my window & said "takde barang" and the officer waved me on sweat.gif
not too sure about tires & rims though....... haven't got mine changed.

A word of advise, don't believe what the sales guys tell you. They are not the ones filling in the warranty claims form to VGM. They are only there to sell cars. Like what was mentioned by forumer Yan, its best you get to know the Service manager. That way you can be a little bit more relaxed wink.gif

Look what my friendly mailman delivered to me:

This is what it should look like once I decide what to use to glue this thing:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


I've seen people put red tape beneath so that the "GTI" font will be red. Think I'll stick with black.

As usual, I ended up buying two of these as the seller would not sell me only one (these originally come as a pair ... left and right). I negotiated and he agreed to sell me two left sided ones. Will sell it off here if my buddy is not interested. Will keep you all posted.

And finally, the arrival of awesomeness ( R LED lights ... thanks to jwrx thumbup.gif ):

Can't wait to get these installed along with my unibrace biggrin.gif

I say man .... apa ni brother? Give me your car lah ... let me teach you how to use tongue.gif

Joking aside ... our driver side no need cause electrically adjustable. This one just for the passenger side. Hence, why from the picture you'll notice that I have two left sided inserts.
