[quote=Yan,Jul 9 2011, 03:07 AM] initially i wanted to get rieger back and sides + R bumper (since was told by many the rieger bumper is too low). But found out to hav parts n pieces fr diff set is costly ... so finally i think i'll compromise by getting full rieger kit.... if n touchwood i break the front bumper... prob i'll just replaced it with a RocR bumper... however i'll still hav to decide now to go for the full rieger bumper .. or the front rieger add-on bumper... Go for d full rieger!! but watch out for our 'b' road condition n ridiculous high humps...  JE design oso hav nice bodykits... Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Yan @ Jul 9 2011, 01:04 PM) thanks for the overwhelming support... yah i actually luv the full bumper... hav tried to luv caractere kit but in d end still feels the rieger kit more garang. Neway with the voices of many, i'll just get the Full Rieger Bumper kit.  Now my headache is matching the color.. as my car is not white. apparently rieger kit best suited for bright color cars... but mine is DARK ... so have to find ways to make the fins standout a bit... else whole car just black... anybody wanna help me throw out some ideas or even phtoshop it for mock test ...hehe... chk out my original car color [attachmentid=2320596] this is a full kit on my fren's car..

QUOTE(omichael @ Jul 11 2011, 05:07 PM) That's true! And if you compare it to the GTI SE, it also has no cruise control and no sun roof. Not sure if the SE is still available though... SA told me oct batch fully booked...nex shipment march!! btw,VW wont b bringing in GTI ed35..good news for d current GTI owners though...frm resale value point of view...

QUOTE(weddinpalmerston @ Jul 11 2011, 07:44 PM) If the rumours of Golf R will be priced at RM260k is true, then it will be a very good buy. With 4Motion, tuned engine and sport seat, for me it will be better value for money than Scirocco  not rumours bro..its confirmed in oct...called VW glenmarie to ask things bout my gti...n ask bout scirocco r coming in or not for my bro in law..end up a sales woman told me Golf R in only...oct n price wil b ard 260-270k...open for booking now...too bad just got my GTI SE last week...

QUOTE(stalkerrox @ Jul 14 2011, 02:11 PM) i doubt it there is any 1stop modding place for any car... just survey around cause sometimes diff shops give diff promotions for same item.. so u gotta survey urself also like now exotic mods got some mid year promotions.. yes thats true...just thought of asking all sifu in this forum where they mod their rides n which shop to avoid ma...at least hav some ideas b4 kena cut throat n avoid lousy craftsmanship... Aldy check exotic mod webside...very nice n experience in GTI no doubt bout it...just unsure their price reasonable or not...

Hi guys..After I put about 800km on my new GTI, I have some sort of rattling/rapid ticking/clashing noise sometimes when I accelerate. It seems to kick in when the engine is working hard with turbo. It subsides when engine is more in a steady stead cruising speed. Anyone with GTI having similar problem?

QUOTE(ben83 @ Jul 16 2011, 03:03 PM) Just tested driven the Eos, it is very nice & sporty indeed. The sun roof now can be slide open totally & also the addition of RNS510. However without KESSY & remote roof control is big thumbs down for a car this price. how much is d price for eos? waiting period? got cruise control?

QUOTE(DaBestOne @ Jul 16 2011, 02:56 PM) what is that thing he is touching at in the video? stated as d wastegate... they found a solution though..as quoted: "I went to my vw dealer this morning and they diagnosed my problem by putting the famous 2 oz weight with a tie rap on the wastegate actuator rod.....and my problem is now solved....until the tie rap melts and the weight falls!! " Added on July 16, 2011, 3:25 pmQUOTE(ben83 @ Jul 16 2011, 03:17 PM) Around RM 259k OTR & yes comes with cruise control. Waiting period depends on the color of your choice. For instance, solid white has ready stock. oh cool...almost d same price as d last version Eos...btw,what is a 'KESSY'? This post has been edited by ben228: Jul 16 2011, 03:26 PM
