Replaced my DV today because, had a 'B' Rev in before, wasn't cracked or broken. Haven't noticed any power gain but have noticed a dramatic improvement in MPG and less of a 'woosh' when it dumps. I'm sure the car was more rapid when I first got it so sparks and coil packs are getting swapped out next.

Gave mine a long over due wash. Since wrapping the car in Frozen Grey matte it has been kind of neglected.
It's been getting a sno-foam and a 2BW for months with no other products touching it really.

Today it was treated to some CG meticulous matte detailer.
Great results for a very well priced product.  :happy2:

Picked mine up from AKS yesterday with new throttle body, new steering rack, TT top mounts, steering wheel sorted so it don't rub on the column and it feels like a new car, loving it again. :driver:

And had these fitted that the other half got me for Xmas

Yesterday I visited Niki at R Tech and had my car mapped, was a complicated one but Niki wokred his magic and I left a very happy customer.

Today I fitted Carbon Dipped Effect Sticker to the DSG surround as park of mine was peeling away

Checked all alignment on doors and adjusted the door catch to line up body work, also glued the door seals back in place which was causing water to get in to rear foot well.  Fitted gti badge which was missing on front grille and now need to give it a good clean inside and take her to the cleaners lol

Colour coded my grill stripe (also mines not a gti so didn't want the red) rushed it to start with but then after 2 coats decided to sand it back and start again! Still not 100% but happy for now!
