Hello everyone. Need some help please.

But I'm not sure about the disc size so I'm not sure what pads I need to get. Thanks in advance [emoji...

Re: Help Please! Matte or Gloss black?

No problem mate. Just remember that the Powder Coating does look a bit better but for my needs (protection) this works extremely well.

Hi bud. Its still on. Will post a pic now. I'd suggest it if you drive bed roads as they offer very good protection against rocks getting kicked up.

That said the fuel consumption is not that different so in hindsight would probably have gone for the 2.0 if I ha...

Buyers Remorse

Good day Gentleman and Lady-Gentleman.
I was wondering if anyone has had buyers remorse after buying the 1.4 TSI instead of the 2.0 or the R?
