No, Dolphin Greys the darker graphite paint colour.

I have a set of Dolphin Grey Mirrors for sale (Pre-facelift so no indicators). Would be looking for £55.00 posted recorded delivery.

So far: Diverter Valve. New Turbo, actuator and oil lines. Battery tested (found to be fine). Boost leaks (visually inspected and refitted whilst engine out). MAF cleaned - going to try unplug and see if it still persists. New coil packs. New spark plugs. Had a scope down the inlet and the...

So time for another update, couple of months later, cars only just flipped 35,000 miles (not bad for an 07' plate). Only one EML light since the new turbo fitted and it fixed itself within a day. cold start issues still about but no-where near as much. Speaking to a local VAG expert, carbon...

For me, a 5-pot will always sound better than a 4 pot, but not 10k better. I can only guess that a difference in running cost would be marginal. For the values being suggested above I would have to say I wouldn't have either, not even the TT-RS. The Golf R with DSG would be more value for money...

I've got the same issue, however managed to pick up another S3 mirror for £20.00 on ebay. will update in here if that fixes the problem. Bought new plastic clips for the door card for when I remove it and uprated LED puddle lights since it'll be off anyways.

I've gone standard droplinks for the front, 'carparts4less' had 10% off yesterday so got them for about £27.00. Getting the top mounts linked above.

Cheers guys, got top mounts and springs sourced. Curious as to whether folk put standard droplinks or shortened back on? Will be replacing these also.

Hi mate, yes the filter was the correct one. No idea on using different varieties though.

Millions of threads asking about what are the options for for aftermarket grills (answer: one rare option) But there's no-where for any info on how to paint these, got a damaged repairable grill to put on the car once it's painted. Any tips, tricks, recommended paints to use from those that...

Thanks mate, yeah hopefully wasn't intentional but I'm glad we found the source of all the large issues. It's been an interesting job learning how all these bits and pieces operate and interact. Now that a lot of the serviceable items have been done and the car (should be) back to 100%, it'll...

I recently bought the "B" and it's identical to whats on my car (57' Plate). If you search the part number on ebay can get the full stalk kit for quite cheap, the cowls the expensive part unless you're handy with a dremel.

Thanks Ninjakid, the thought had crossed my mind but it's genuinly a very clean car otherwise (inside and out, plus underneath. I think the first owners modified and mapped it hence the standard clutch being goosed. Checked all previous MOTs and everything adds up. The friction plate on the...

Just checked with AwesomeGTI, no not yet, will try him later on.
