I've used some velcro pads for now until  I get time to put the magnets on

I did try it mate but I didn't like the look of it didn't look right at all. The mk5 is a awkward car to reposition the front plate

You know that you can only really check the difference doing tests on a rolling road or a track. The IC will be less effective cooling the air from the turbo, so the engine will produce less power, specially after some heat soak has happened. Not having anything blocking the airflow to the IC will avoid that heat soak. There are tests made by APR confirming this. :wink:

No mate couldn't find what the original colour was so gone for anthracite, ordering new wheel nut covers and centre caps aswell

If you look at the pics of my old leon I put on this thread the other day there going to be a similar colour with a metallic finish
