Well performance wise not much, although all planned out from Feb next year. However, got a new smooth front grill and front black badge, finally got my private plate sorted and on with cut down plates, headlight tints, upgraded the HID kit and got some carbon mirror covers coming next week. Wheels are being painted baby blue  :wink: very soon aswell - just need to decide whether im change wheels or not! Cars been detailed as well so looking lovely. All cosmetic but looking sooo nice. Just need the performance to go with it.

I love the sound of the smooth front grille, you'll have to post some photos when you get a chance! Also what are 'cut down' plates?

Cars back at VW due to further issues with their work. All paid for by them - bless them.

I'll get some pics up when the cars back! I've also put a matt black front badge on too. Looks very smart!

What was the deal with VW's work?

Not too sure about those squashed plates, each to their own hey.  :smiley:

Where did ya get the black matt badge? I'd like one of these....

Service completed - 5 ltrs, Mobil One 0w40 (£34). Forte engine flush and oil fortifier (£12). Fuel filter, oil filter, pollen filter (£21). Labour (£25). Total (£92)

N75 valve replaced (£28) from German Auto Spares - Boost issues have now been resolved, turbo now spikes at 21.6psi and holds at 17.5psi..... Cracking job Gromit  :smiley:

BSH PCV kit also installed, rough idle resolved and an altogether much sturdier piece of kit than the oem cheap plastic version.

Heko deflectors also installed, not my favourite thing and certainly not overly aesthetically pleasing, but they don't half reduce wind noise and stop all the bastard rain falling in your lap too!
