I thought it would be a good idea to document the progress to my car so here we go....
As it was when we bought it in April earlier this year as a 2yo car with 9k miles, it was like brand new :cool:

Then the addition of the Eibach Sportline springs only, with the Bilstein B8 shocks to be added at a later date, sits much nicer and drives well;

Out with the old....

...and in with the new courtesy of Kenny, I have his old Blueflame CBE.

Not the best pic but it gives a good idea of how it looks on the car, and sounds great so far.

With the Carbonio intake to accompany which again sounds great and fitted perfectly :cool:

Next on the list is Revo Stage 2 to accompany the 3" Downpipe and 100 Cel CAT, but will need to wait until Feb when it will be fitted and mapped accordingly.
Big thanks to Kenny for doing some great deals on his cast offs, and thanks to you all for your help and advice to date :cool: :wink:
-
Coming along very nicely Phil, need to get some led rears tho.... :cool: :cool: :cool:
-
Thanks :cool:
Rear LED's are going to be Christmas present, along with some wind deflectors :wink:
-
Looks great Phil!!
Led rear lights will finish the backs off nicely!! Why you not putting downpipe on just now??
-
Agreed with wife that remap wouldn't be before warranty runs out, we'll see how long I last :grin:

I hear ya.....I keep hankering after one tho, might just have to get back in contact with Craig again soon lol
-
In all honesty it's only 4 months until the warranty runs out, planning on having an annual service, first MOT and mapping/DP all done in Feb...really not long to wait.
Heard good things about the 170ps CR engine when mapped, would love to do my Leon but it's not an option as a lease vehicle sadly. Sounds like you have already made your mind up :whistle:
-
my mates leon fr 170 is mapped and had dpf removed and its fast. 220 or 230bhp or something but the torque is like a tractor

Quick little update...
Golf R LED rears on their way, early part of next week will post some pics once fitted.
Team Heko Wind Deflectors now fitted and what an improvement they have made.
Having just seen that Revo have a 20% sale I will be booking the car in for its Stage 2 map and fitting of the Downpipe within the next few weeks....can't wait :evil:
Will do some new pics once lights have been fitted :smiley:

When there's a deal to be done you have to take it.....booked in :evil:

Wind Deflectors fitted, went for the slightly cheaper Team Heko efforts, £32 delivered from eBay, doing exactly the job expected and not looking bad atall.

All done.
(http://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/s544/Raffe74/LEDRears-1.jpg)
100% improvement and worth every penny :cool:
-
Much better, they are one of the best mods for golfs that they didn't come std that is... :tongue: but know all seriousness it look great mate. :cool: love'em against the CW
-
looks much better. an expensive mod but it is a lot fresher looking
is your boot lid a bit high or bumper a bit low or is it just a funny angle? there looks to be a step where the boot lid lights meet the main tail light (especially above the GTI badge).
-
Thanks guys, even got the thumbs up from the wife so it must be an improvement.
Might need the rubber stops adjusting, I was squatting down taking pic though so could also be a Funny angle, will have a look tomorrow.
-
actually i just had a look at a few photos of my car and in some shots it looks the same but in other pictures the line is straight
it must just be how they are.
-
Stage 2 installed.......... :shocked:
Absolutely transformed the car, with proper boost now....immense fun :evil:
-
Can i ask you what price was in the LEDs , just got a price of £98+vat per light.
Was your prices better than that.
Rear lights make a big difference to the car.
Cheers

Hi m8 ive got a 59 plate would I need same kit as yours they really do make a difference on your motor mine is same colour etc, cheers
-
Are these oem parts or are they copy parts at that price.
Cheers
-
They are genuine VW parts.
My understanding is the pre 2010 cars need a new BCM, don't forget you also need the VCDS coding, having mine done tomorrow night which then turns off the bulb out warning light.
