Hey thanks mate. I got it done at HD Smash Repairs in Artarmon. Guy there is Harry who runs it. My name is Dennis. Feel free to name drop. Got it done in few months ago now so can’t remember how much exactly.

He did a great job on the rough plastic stuff though.

Any idea on how they made the rough textured plastic nice and smooth? Did he fill it? Or spray with primer and sand back?

The wheel arches look great!
Its a shame this is not standard on the R-line.
It really makes it look so much better.

Thanks! That’s local for me so I’ll go see them for a small repair and get quote for the lot as well.
Similar story for me, 7 month wait for R-Line was too long. My lease is up in 8 months and considering keeping it and starting some customisation.... sounds like I would have to be ordering the R-Line in January otherwise.

Ps I nearly got the diesel but waited 3 months for the petrol... it would have been another 3 months for the R line which I wasn’t willing to do after waiting 7 months for my Golf R when I got that last time..

Looks great! Glad you didn’t get the diesel version with the crummy tail pipe.
Mind if I ask how much and where you got It done?

What I have done lately..

Painted my vehicle to be color coded black. I wanted a R Line but a) it was another 3 month wait and b) it wasn’t actually faster so I wasn’t too fussed. But I never loved the grey plastic.. not Rline but definitely much nicer than standard high line.

Osko not even joking, please try the bluefin. It’s got a two week no questions trial. You receive it. Plug it into your car. The thing downloads your cars map. You plug the thing into the pc. The pc talks to bluefin. Within a few hours someone in England sends you the new map. You download on car. Done. It’s amazing.

The difference is honestly there. I’ve had tunes before like on the golf r, where it’s pronounced... but this is real good. I don’t want to gee it up and set expectations too high, you know what I mean?

But it’s very good. Not going to ruin it for you any more than that.

And yes I’ve tuned a lot of cars over the years, Japanese and German.

Thanks for the reply, do you think it delivers the 70kw claimed?

[REXman]

Ok last one.

What tune and claimed increase did you use and did the tune deliver the claimed increase? I am having a hard time believing some of the claimed numbers but maybe they are true and my scepticism not warranted.

Definite seat-of-the-pants, put-a-smile-on-your-face, feel-it-on-the-butt-Dyno increase.
Give or take on exact figures, but like many have said, there’s night and day difference!

[Ozsko]

Everyone seems to have an opinion on whether a tune voids warranty or not. Some say yes, others say no, some say it depends on the individual dealer... I haven't experienced it first hand but a stage 1 was the first thing I did to the car because the difference is night and day.

As for a Stage 1 tune, no other mods are required. I just got the intake for the noise... but it's not that noticeable actually.
