Take loads of close up pics of your car before it goes in and do a thorough check on collection.
Last time I used them they managed to rest the sharp wing edge on the sill. It managed to scrape the paint off and literally cut a lattice effect into the painted ED30 skirt.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

I'll bare that in mind mate. Cheers. To be fair the rest of the car needs painted but I don't want any damaged panels

I've still got my VR6. My gti is the daily lol would of probably preferred and R32 for the sound more than anything as you know it's addictive lol but as I've said the gti was too cheap to say no

Yeah I saw that it's up for sale, suprised it hasn't sold to be fair it's up at a decent price. Snails the best way to go, your able to get amazing gains with the right setup and go about breaking gearboxes and driveshafts

I was gonna do it last winter with a holset hx35 but missed out on it. I don't want to go too stupid power wise maybes 350-400bhp. I think I need to get the gti mapped too it feels like it's lacking a bit of punch
