Will your new car have a DSG box too?

**mannyo** · 08-03-2008, 09:01

No, not DSG because it`s only a 1,6 MPI Tiptronic.
DSG starts on 1.9 TDI and 2,0 TDI engines, at least here in Norway.

I`m sorry, but i`m not quite shure of this.

Bigger wheels needed I think

They may only be 16" but I do like the sharp 5 spoke design

I'd agree with that; I wonder why? Something to do with acclimatised for colder winters perhaps.

Too much rubber for my liking

I guess the smaller wheels have winter tyres on at this time of year. They look aftermarket, so my guessing is that come warmer weather the bigger wheels will go back on.

I am not shure if i want to have bigger wheels.

The roads here in Norway are no good.

This poor country have very little money to spend on roads.

Nice ride! A bit high in the air though (needs 35mm lowering like mine), but on Norwegian roads (even worse than UK roads) its a good idea keeping it high. Look forward to xenon. The night visibility is priceless! I've even fitted xenon-kit (4300K) on the long-lights as well - also priceless...

Thought there was something different about it... wonder why they don't have projectors, would of thought it would have been pretty standard, either xenons or projector.

Please show me a pic of what you mean by projectors ?

**mannyo** · 09-03-2008, 14:52

In the UK, you either have projector headlights or Xenon headlights. Externally they both look simillar. Heres the front of my car enlarged, you can see the projector lamps next to the indicators.

It's the fish-eye ones for headlamps. I thought projectors only came with xenons?

That's at least how it is here in Denmark too: Xenon -> projectors and Halogen -> parabolic reflector.

One learns...

Look at my headlamps: Projectors

Just to add my car does not have Xenon lights, just normal Halogen ones. I had to change the bulb last week.
