Hello all, this is the owner of the Golf. I'm not actually 'JclioD', I'm just using his account to post as there is little point in me signing up! (myself, JD and Vish are all good friends).

i had one on my old car (clio) (not for long btw, didnt like it) i didnt find it made any difference to economy or anything, just an annoying noise when deccelerating, and made it a bit smoother when starting it on a cold morning, not really worth the hassle imo

welcome, i come from greece, well born there anyway, lived in england most of my life, but when i visit family i love the roads out there, would love to have a quick car down those roads!
Ive been told that the garage will have to specially order a standard system for me, does anyone have any ideas how much this will cost?, i only had a modified backbox put on, so i wouldnt have thought id need more than just the centre section fitted? for 05, 1.4 16v?
