The VWR remap sounds perfect, do uk dealers supply it??

Yes. Selected dealers only.

I'm still undecided though. I'm not sure about how it would effect the resale value. I suppose if it is through VW Racing that would be better come selling time (VW racing are an independant company and not part of VW UK). My dealer has assured me there will be no difference to the warranty. Might be an issue getting any sort of extended warranty though. Insurance could be an issue as well. You also get a little R badge for the boot.

this is my concern - insurance and extended warrenty.  personally i wouldn't want the R badge - i'd like to keep the power hidden for maximum surprise value  :laugh:

It's software - who's going to know?

Unless they carve it into your paintwork, I'm sure there are ways around a badge.
