hmm interesting read... http://audirevolution.net/forum/index.php?topic=2924.0

Dont really wanna start an discussion about it, I know APR has a loyal fan base, but it does their reputation no favours..

That's some fascinating reading  :shocked:

To be fair, companies always try to cut corners and maximise profit. I'm not surprised. Sadly it's all about the money today.

As long as it still makes my car faster I'm not too fussed ;)
Current - MK7 Golf GTI - Tornado Red, 5 Door, DSG, Performance Pack, Dynamic Chasis Control, Panoramic Sunroof, Discover Navigation, Dynaudio.

On Order - MK7 Golf R - Pearlescent Black, 3 Door, DSG, Vienna Leather, Discover Nav Pro, Rear View Camera, High Beam Assist, Keyless Entry, Dynaudio (Tech Pack)

All gone.

Now;

MK7 Golf R - Lapiz Blue, 5 Door, DSG, Carbon Nappa, Discover Nav Pro.

Yeah but what they are doing appears to be selling one thing and delivering something else. Bit like you choosing and paying for DCC and then months later finding out you don't have it. Alright as long as the car is still faster than you expected and just a bit of profit maximisation?

There is maximising profit and then there is fraud. Of course we dont know if these stories are true, unless someone on here would like to chop up their mk6 rsc.....?

I see Neuspeed have brought out their usual torque arm insert, what are we thinking, not worth the vibration?

Like the technology but would it be too much of a distraction and take your focus off the road just when you need it the most?  :undecided:

But as you can see through it I think you'd get used to it. I think if I didn't spec the satnav id definitely get one
