Been a bit lax in keeping this thread up to date :embarassed:

Went to Elsecar mega meet and cleaned the car and then finished with the DA polisher followed by a good waxing and the result was this.....





Thanks to the guys who took these shots as I only had my crappy phone with me.

Also recently tried some VCDS setting alterations and ramped up all the settings on the map and WMI mix to try and get a decent run after altering the settings. Warmer weather and clean, dry roads after the rain along with a few hard previous runs to warm the tyres up resulted in the following (all done at the same spot as previous runs)

0-100mph in 11.8 seconds off a decent 5.1 to 60mph, so running the richer mix with setting C and setting off with traction control on in S mode seems to be the way to go for a 1/4 mile run and resulted in the following...........



Clearly a better top end power with a 107.2mph terminal, but still only a 13.5  *note to self - must try harder!*

as you can see by the G-Force, the pull is strong too!



These are the best runs and several were hampered with the dreaded DSG torque limiter :angry:, so still need that DSG remap sooner rather than later.

The good sign is that there were no faults came up on VCDS after the runs, the bad sign is that I appear to be running out of front tread on the tyres. :laugh:

Shiny! Another in the 'want one' camp here, especially if VW never come out with a Polo R. Great performance figures too.

Yeah, I got fed up of it. Although I'm considering metallic red inserts and wheels!  :shocked:
