You could persuade your wife that it would be wise for her to upgrade to a golf GTI, then you would have the best of both worlds. My wife has just agreed to that, as long as its "red and has 5 doors".
Know what you mean about your car Cal, I've got a GB270 and have added green panel filter, 2nd decat pipe and straight thro centre section, but many a sleepless night has been spent thinking about the VF34 etc, really enjoy the car, especially on the b roads, but it could be doing with just a little more. Emailed Andy F and he can supply the VF34 ported to suit the 2.5.
But the thought of trying to explain to the wife why the warranty is fecked if it goes t1ts up has got me questioning if its worth the risk.
