Performance VW

Life isn't very fair a lot of the time, and this is especially true if you're a car enthusiast. For example, spare a thought for our poor Audi-loving cousins over the pond because they never got to enjoy the B5 RS4, missing out on that twin-turbo, wi

We’re used to seeing hardcore engine tuning products from German tuning house, HG Motorsport, but the team have recently announced a stunning new wide bodykit for the Mk8 Golf GTI, Clubsport, Edition 45 and R models. The comprehensive 10-piece kit wi

Following the success of Rotiform’s awesome forged 22” AVS wheel, which looks absolutely amazing on the latest RS6 and takes influence from the original Audi S4 Avis wheel, the Californian company recently released a 19” version of the said wheel. I

OCTOBER 2023 A year ago we went a bit rogue with this odd-ball widebody Polo 1.8T. It might not have been our usual style of car, but the quality of this build was second to none. Inside we featured a supercharged VR6 Mk2 Golf, bagged Corrado VR6, cu
