I had the standard DPF gutted the same time as the remap. It was only because I bought a full Milltek that I thought I would get a proper DPF delete pipe aswell.

Glad I could be of some inspiration to you as many others have been for me since registering on this forum. A big thumbs up to Nath and Gareth at DMR who do a fantastic job in keeping it looking nice.

Decided to change the exterior B pillar trims aswell. Standard matte finish trims:



Half and half:

Thanks for looking  :happy2:

These are genuines from VW. I did consider wrapping but for how much they are decided to just buy the proper ones.

Matto car looks stunning, how easy is it to get the gloss black trims as got to replace a front one on ours, I'm assuming you need to tease the window seals out

Thanks mate. Yeah you do. Not too bad of a job. I found the rears easier than the front for getting the seal back in. I used this guide to help http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4492688
