They were bought from eBay - Lookers VW dealership, I think - and advertised for 6R. Went on ok, and haven't fallen off!
Nice! Ordered them this morning, with any luck they'll turn up in time for me to fit them at the weekend

Re: New GTI

I had the squealing issue with my GTI, its died down a bit now at around ~1500miles, but was a lot more prolific when i first got the car.

It's not causing me too much grief so i'm just living with it/hoping it'll just vanish eventually My local VW dealer isn't exactly great so i don't want more ...

Took out the GTI for a couple of pics with a photography friend a few weekends ago, here is my favourite one out of them all.

Re: New GTI

Don't think i've had my GTI getting 50mpg+ yet... around 600 miles in and i've had it down to ~20 and up to about ~35.

Seem to be a lot more 6C GTIs than there was 6R, not a bad thing as they look mean on the road.

Re: New GTI

So many Red GTIs loving them! Had quite a few people taking a double glance as i've drove past, either its the bright red paint or they think its a golf and then realise it isn't. Never had that in the 6r GTI.

Really impressed on the fuel consumption with this engine too, seeing 36mpg+ on the ...

Re: New GTI

Anyone who's got one on order you're in for a treat!

Re: New GTI

Hey Guys!

Today was day, she turned up just before lunchtime. Only had time for a quick blast to get fuel then back to work.

First impressions are it feels like it has a lot more pull than my 6r GTI, manual gearbox is lovely also. Updated in interior is spot on also.

Will get some better pics ...
