The subtle modder Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 nice car and a nice upgrade really style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> the mats are crap ive got them and theyve been in there from new but they dont wear very well at all are a bast*rd to keep clean and stain very easyas said in my test drive thread i was generally impressed with the tdi i felt the turn in was alot better than my 1.4 or the 1.0 and 16v sport i drove and out of corner traction seemed alot better but that may have been due to tyre choicewayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tyres on it arnt too great, there is pleanty of tread on them but there isnt a pair on it, i think i may swap the wheels with my 1.0 as they have new conties and firestones and i couldnt fault the conties on the front of that.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
