Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • VIC New R owner

    Hi

    I'm the proud new owner of a magnificient 2013 Grey R DSG.
    Her name is hanna and she's been on the road for only a month.



    I had her wheels replaced with 18" Rays the very next day.


    Also had her head unit change to Alpine's 8" screen.


    I've since had her brakes painted red.


    Footrest plates installed.


    And modified the hatch to automaticaly pop.


    I've also change the emblems added some decal. Photos to follow.

    Most importantly, I'm currently reserching stage 1 and 2 upgrades.
    A few months away yet, not in a hurry. I want to get what's right for me.
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Regards
    Simon

    Looking good Simon! Love the rims - not too showy, not too big, nice and light.

    You'll get no end of good advice on tuning and other performance mods; check out Tuning and Performance (inc ECU upgrades) for loads of info.

    And welcome to the forums!
