....They look like they'll be fairly easy to clean the brake dust off (lots of spokes though). What do they weigh? - Hopefully ~9kg or lighter because lighterweight alloys feel noticeably much more responsive. Nice style and no bling  :happy2:

Three days into MK5 GTi ownership and I've re-mapped the car with Bluefin. Can't believe how straightforward it was.

Performance gains were mega... Feels like a completely different animal. So much quicker. Great value

Just fitted one of these Makes a big difference when reversing onto the drive at night

They're a bit dodgy these.  Mine flashes repetitively every now and again which isn't very good and it doesn't seem as bright as it first did.

I noticed yours flashed Mike when I was down at AKS. Wondered if it was supposed to do it for reason lol.
