my tcr has been at scorpion exhaust this week having there system made up, will try and post some videos at the weekend, should be getting it mapped early November reckon I should get about 350/360 bhp
How's the new exhaust?
Had a nosey around and proper sit in this today. Must say, I really like the interior and feels a bit more special than mine. Obviously being brand new helps but the Alcantara on the doors and the use of extra leather really helps I think.
Outside the Prets looked great but think as they are glossy it needs the matching mirrors as the matt finish does seem to work better with the Reifnitz alloys. The Akrapovic looks really aggressive. And I think the white works quite well in the metal but those decals are just a no.
This one was optioned up to £41750 which is plenty!
Oddly enough after leaving JCT, I saw a filthly looking grey TCR which is the first I've seen driving. And then a lovely red 3dr CS parked up shortly after.
Coming from the R which is very plain in comparison on the interior, quite enjoying having all the little red accents around me, adds to the scratching of the GTi itch as definitely feel like in one and its a nice feeling.
Convert to the virtual cockpit also and think the quality of screen and fact its glass is a huge lift over the MK 7 -
Of course enjoying having the Akrapovich and looking forward to hearing it when bedded in but remain consistent that there is not a £3000 detraction but not having it, and if in market today I would be looking at the earlier and much cheaper models that are sitting on forecourts - Imagine also that more squeeze on deals on the earlier and that Akrapovich might reduce the margin of discount that can be given?
Pretty sure there is some forecourt TCR in mid to low £30k and thats a significant saving over even a discounted Akrapovich laden one.
Saw a TCR in white a few months back on Pretoria and definitely would have matched the caps to gloss - AGB suggested I wait as I was near ordering Gloss in advance, and confirmed that Reifnitz match the caps perfectly.
Normally you would have someone make an argument for the decals, and honestly say have not see anyone.
The White I saw had the black roof and the panoramic roof, which with the additional trim, the gloss black Prets and the 90% made it look a bit too contrasted and patchwork - Cannot remember who has the white TCR are on here but he had it nailed in styling adding some really nice complimentary wheels.
