Hi Guys,

Firstly thanks for the wealth of information that I've tried to trawl through over the last 5 days.
I just bought a 2nd hand MY07 Sprint Blue S3 last week.

Other than having a low 12000 kms on the car, it came with:
- 19" Oettinger RXX
- Oettinger CAI
- Milltek TBE Non-Resonated

I've got a couple of questions to ask you experts. Hopefully you have the answers I'm looking for.

A few questions if you please:
1) I have a friend who might be selling his MKV GTI and may want to swap parts. Would the below parts off the GTI fit my car?
- MTM TBE
- KW v3 coilovers
- H&R ARB's
2) Looking to purchase the short shifters next. Any recommendations?

Would really appreciate it if someone has the answers. I hope they fit!!
Thanks in advance for all the replies.

Cheers,
Johan

Is the Golf also a quattro? The parts might fit ok but not be the correct rating for the different weight over the rear axel.

Thanks for the welcome Staz!

Khufu, the GTI is a FWD. Figures below are from the KW website.
For the GTI, f: 1105kg r: 1000kg
For the S3, f: 1130kg r: 1085kg
Correct me if I'm wrong, but not much difference in the weights right? So technically, it's a non-issue as well?

just an extra body over each axel LOL, could be ok then as they are adjustable.

I take it no one has an idea then.

I just purchased the black grill from a seller on Ebay.
Will take pics once I get them fitted.

Welcome to the forum Johan

Congratz on the new car. Bought yourself a nice car and in the best colour aswell Looking forward to seeing the picture before the optic grills on and after....
I dont think the parts will fit if the Golf FWD and the S3 quattro. May be best to call the manufacturer of each product before you buy them of your friend. Incase they dont fit and thats just a waste. Enjoy the car
