Disappointed??? The Black gives me nothing but absolute joy!!! having a ball. am having VW emblems front and rear painted next week as well as brake callipers. Stage 2+ planned for June. Business bad on the coast, heads been down.

The brake calipers on the R are already black... what colour are you going for?

Deep blood red, will match the darker red of the brake light covers....

You still owe me piccies.. but glad you are having fun.. 2 months to go for me yet

So, I'm thinking the 5k mark will be the best time to go the remap route.

i couldn't and didn't wait.... but I guess it depends on what you're thinkin' of doin'

If not concerned about consistent times and performance and don't intend to hammer turbo over extended periods, is there a need for Intercooler change with Stage 2??

heh.. I think the last bit is the hardest.. had a shocking day today, the missus left milk on the floor of the back seat and a litre leaked out. Had to rip out all the interios , treat in , dry it out and refit.. dont ever put milk where yuo cant see it..

LOL my son, now 25, did the exact same thing to company Ford Gia 10 years ago. Never could get rid of that sweet rotten smell and when it rained and got humid, OMG!!!! remember the day I turned it back to the leasing company. dropped it off, turned and tiptoed out, got into brand new one and drove away.
Yes removing everything only way forward.

well I got to it before it went off so I am hoping that is the key.. next couple of days will tell.. if not will have to get it professionally done

At the current rate that will be in about 3 weeks

Only based on what 3 dealers have told me. I'm happy to be convinced otherwise

I had prawn leakage one summer in my old BMW. Didn't realise for 2 days.

Gave it a good clean and used an ordour remover, then febreeze and that worked.
