These can be had for £507 delivered at the moment.!!!!

Does it still use the pancake pipe in the drivers wheel arch though? Thought this was supposed to be restrictive?

VERY tempted to get the credit card out, but a lot of wedge to put on it (for me anyway)


Anyone able to compare this to any other cooler about, not the ebay type as i don't want to chop the bumper up too much (standard not r32)

Any other models to be looking at before i do it!?

Cheers, Sam

I paid £450  :smiley:  And yea they do use the original Pancake pipe which is a shame. I will be looking into DIY upgrading this in the near future.

Can the black, plastic inserts of the normal GTi bumpers/valances AND the R32 bumper be fitted back in with the FMIC on??  I'm not a fan of the 'Let it all hang out' look, LOL!! :D

Yea going down the motorway it pulled better definately.  To get full efect you would need to have another updated remap taking into account the intake temperature changes.

And also yes the standard bumper inserts do go back in.  Forge supply a new middle and drivers side one as they are cut slightly all included in the kit
