APR Presents the Return of Awesome...
rich83:
So that figures then. APR, in bed with ITG and Volkswagen racing... Awesome can't be 'left out' of the fold.

Does this mean all ITG products will become overpriced VWR rebranded items?

Quite possibly... They already do it so I cant see that changing.

....I haven't spoken with VWR for some time so I don't know the facts but I do know that APR are now involved in the VW Cup Series which of course VWR are primarily involved in. Also that they have adjacent premises in MK so there is bound to be some degree of working relationship.
I don't think that VWR have done themselves any favours by 'rebranding' other manufacturers products unless, as it is in some cases, they have played a part in the development.

Yup thats right, your pretty much just paying for the name (Never heard of them before this forum tho) as exhausts are re-branded Millteks, Intakes are modeed ITG's, wonder whose brakes they re-brand?
Love how these "Racing Development" companies buy other companies products, race them and then re-brand and sell them at big mark ups on the back of success?, eh hows that work then?.
Maybe its time someone bought a Twintake, raced it, give it a new name and sticker and hike up the price 50% and make a killing :signLOL:
All we need now is Revo to either drop their re-map prices by £200 and say "Stuff it up your hoop" to Awesome/APR and start a price war or to start their own aggressive marketing, that would benefit us guys at least!, on the other side of the scale they might just pull out like APR did a while back and come back all guns blazing in 12 months at which point Awesome will jump ship again and we start the merry go round again :signLOL:
All we need now is for another couple of intake systems to hit the (UK) market to expand things a little, seen 2 intake systems I like the look of, one is based in USA and called Volant (nice looking system) but only for K03 GTI (Shame) and another that I saw on the BCS demo car (not for sale according to Dave/Nige) which is a shame as it looked good to me and not too noisy, I would buy one anyway :happy2:
