That looks great, you must surely be living up to your username.

If VW had been a bit more generous with the standard spec I may have considered an R Line more seriously myself.

Was going to fit a replica set of clubsport wheel, but i'll go with those just now.

On a lighter note just fitted the pedalbox+ , took about 10 mins no problem with the connectors. Tried various settings and i'm at sport+ +2 and what a transformation!!!! to be honest it was very sluggish before...now its lively as hell.

I quite like those wheels, looks great! Good to hear you are enjoying it. How much different does the performance feel after the S1?

Ah not much difference than the S1.....who am i trying to kid! easiest way to describe it " like jumping into a swimming pool of treacle" saying that i got it for better fuel consumption.
