AtheK Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Great looking ORVM's there. Do the turn indicators light up when signalled? Also u are pretty brave in trying these mods on a VW who is known to be quite finicky with warranty. Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk yes they do light up, ya VW can say no to warranty, but who cares I don't think I will need them till I want an over the shelf spare. Even my first servicing will be done outside. Anyway in 2 months I will be remapping the ecu, so VW won't want to even look me in the eye to talk anything after that[emoji14] Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk Na seems the synthetic oil change has fixed it for good, have not read much on the team bhp as well, who might have reported it. Plus they can only deny my electrical warranty not anything related to gearbox, just in case. Thinking of putting these alloys next.

Will definitely look much better than the stock ones. Even I was looking for an AT sedan just a couple of weeks before. Did TD almost all in my budget. Wanted to go for Vento Tsi but the DSG niggles held me back. Also since was not getting a good value for my Rapid, decided to postpone the decision for next year. Till then will keenly follow ur posts as well as T-bhp. Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk Yup I can relate, I had been driving the city and totally loved it, until I drove the Vento, well it is not fair to compare a recent car with almost a 5 yr old car, but still Germans have won me over. Koreans are anyway all bling no substance. An option for yiu could be to add a second car in your stable with the Ameo while holding on to your rapid, ofcourse if the budget allows.

If they launch a AT version in less than 15 lacs then I m game. Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
