I don't know about you DSG owners, but my last drive of a DSG GTI bothered me. Why does the DSG GTI crawl when it's supposed to be stopped? In my manual cars when I am stopped and the clutch is disengaged the car does not move. Now, I understand that from a safety standpoint it's better to...

This was part of another thread that had a review of a GLI after 5000 miles. The reviewers had done a before and after dyno with some very very interesting results. They used the APR chip. After looking at the data, it brought to light some things I had been considering while looking into these...

Does anyone know of any metal grill options available for the GTI? I would really like to see some metal grill options where the black plastic is now. The fog light area would look really cool if the mesh was real and had real holes. I'd like to do all the mesh grills in a satin aluminum, or doe...
