whoever wants these, go to www.tmtuning.com they will ship to S.A
I bought alot of my MKIII parts from them. Reliable and good shipping time.
Definately will look good on CW, TR i prefer .:R lights.
I used to import original OEM wheels (from Germany)and OEM Replica's from Italy. Right now there is not much demand so i dont import anymore. IF you find me around 8 guys that wants wheels, let me know. I'll bring in one pallet.

BBS CH's look nice on the GTi
only if they are 19" and the car is lowered, but then again , thats with any wheel. But the CH is a beautiful wheel.
Is it only available via tmtuning? how long does delivery take? Prefer buying stuff locally
But those lights look wicked....
they are not available here in S.A ( i might be wrong ask VW FAN JK8 ).
Delivery is around 3 weeks but you need to get a quote from them first for shipping. Let me know how it goes, if you dont come right my friend from Germany will sort you out.
And here they are:
That looks very very nice... Red on grey, goes really well....
Love the s2000 look and also that it Revs up to 9000 RPM's

Only the AP1 goes to 9000RPM... actually 9500RPM, but then the safety kicks in...
The AP2 goes to 8000/8500RPM...

Now to find me an AP1 
Now to find me an AP1
I've only seen two in SA... I'm driving one, and the other one is currently on AutoTrader, but its ugly - don't like the red interior in this case, all S2000 prior to 2004 are AP1, after that is the AP2
Chipped MK5 Gti
Hi there,
I really do not want to start a whole new string of re-mapping or chipping of golf's polo's etc, so for what it is worth I would like to mention my experience with Upsolute. I know there is FRC, Revo etc and all have their ups and downs.
I have a 2007 Golf Gti MK5 DSG and I have chipped my car with Upsolute software and I must say I was quite impressed. Initially I had a slight bump when changing gears which was corrected when Upsolute updated my DSG gearbox map. This improved the gear changes to be extremely smooth pretty safe to say as smooth if not smoother than standard. I also had a Dump Valve problem where my car was "hunting" sounded like I had a wild cam, Upsolute changed my Dump Valve for an after market one and sorted everything out.
Before the Dump Valve went I visited JMS in Benoni and did a few Dyno runs to test what my stats were. My car ran in 3rd gear at 160KW (ATW) and 344NM of Torque (ATW) and in 4th gear it worked out at 159KW (ATW) and 371 NM of Torque (ATW). I was very impressed with the results.
I will gladly show anyone who does not believe me, a copy of the Dyno print out. I would like to check if anything, what the increase might be now that I have done the Dump Valve, not expecting anything but I must say that the boost is holding and it feels like it is smoother in the power delivery.

Revo has no downs, but good going with your Upsolute mapping and its performance.
What is FPC ? did you mean FRC ?
I suggest you hold up on the decals till errrr forever lol (Just my opinion)
Hard top sounds good, I would invest in a bigger and better rim first up.
