well front is the BBS CS and the back CW1... neway initially i wanted the BBS CS but too bad they dun hav stock for the correct PCD 112. the one u c in pic is the 114. to order 112 will take 3mths... so cudn't wait.. decided to just get the caractere set instead.

the BBS CS is ard 10.7kg... CW1 is ard 10.3kg.... i tried a few audi rims... they weight 11.8-12kg+.... in end decided to get those ard 10kg...

this wud hav been the best n latest fr BBs the CM series..10kg onli .. v light .. but i dun like the design ...makes the rims look small due to the big center (pic)

Hey guys ,

I've been thinking between Golf GTI and Golf R ... (Both Brand New / 2011 / 2012 model ) Mark 6
The reason I like Gold R is because of the xenon headlights / LED rear lights and the wheels. PS: And also the blue paintjob ...

Obviously Golf GTI is more than enough for me as a student, just wondering is it worth paying the extra for Golf R ?

I save about 15k from buying the Golf R ... 15k can be used to buy my insurance / service and mods .

I'm thinking of buying the GTI and just mod it up. ( Not major mods ) , Just installing BOV , ECU upgrade , maybe rims and suspension . Any inputs ? =D

save 15k?? where did you get the info...cheapest R i have seen so far is Rm285k

as a student, dun spend so much of your parents money ler..enjoy the car stock..save your money for better future (damn..i sound like my dad)

Hey ,
I'm actually studying in Australia .
Will be looking to get the car by the end of the year .

Golf GTI = AUD43k
Golf R = AUD60k

If you do the rough conversion of AUD to MYR ... It will be

Golf = RM135k
Golf R = Rm190k

Both prices are brand new and 2011 model .

what is your mileage now?

hmm your car 4 yr old, if the tires unchanged since new sure must change, even if the treads are good. are you on 19"? that's gonna burn a huge hole in your pocket. and yes, repair and maintenance first, and then only mods

congrats~ caractere rims are nice

nice to see you here. main reason going for R is AWD, you can always make a GTI faster than R. (not sure of potential of the R though)

nice rims yan!! I also wanna go hup soon and take a look

After months of deciding between Golf GTI, Golf TSI or Scirocco, finally got my black Golf TSI today.

As a casual driver with only a slight interest in mods, I'm happy with my choice so far.

The DRLs make a big difference aesthetically. All the tech and gadgets are awesome. Build quality is top notch.

Torque and HP are good but the 1-second delay when you press the accelerator from idle is quite annoying when you're trying to get out of a junction fast.

One thing I notice is that driving this car, nobody looks at you twice. To the layman it probably looks just like a Hyundai Getz or a Myvi on steroids hehe.

So anyway - does anyone have any advice on tinting? Is it really worth it to spend RM2,000 on premium tint when you can get similar specs and same 5-year warranty on a significantly cheaper local brand?

What stops you from getting the OZ racing Ultraleggera or even the Super Torismo. They weight much lower at 7.4kg for 18 inch...

sound advice jwrx from the seen it all, done it all.

Cool bro. The caractere rims fits ur car nicely. What's the dmg? hahaha definitely gotta lower the ride the big gap can still be seen between the wheels and the body
