Mark - they are Recaro SR3s which were retrimmed by www.car-interiors.co.uk

Headlamp covers over xenons

Hi all,

Hi guys,
Cheers for the advice - I think it is probably best to get it booked into the local stealer and see what they think.

Hi All - Newbie here with a few GTi Qs!

Hi all,
My wife has a 2001 Polo GTi and it has a few anomilies I wanted to run past you guys.

The main concern is that the car occasionally locks itself for no apparent ...
