Car looks really well, matey the back bumper suits it perfect, I like it with the GTI exhaust cut out, different than all the others  :happy2: :happy2:

On brake discs:

TTRS oem
DaveB does a set-up to suit them brakes, always worth speaking with Daveb, he is the brake expert, very busy man too, but worth the wait to get back to you  :happy2:

Good luck and health to enjoy your new car  :congrats:
If it's not broke, Mod it.....

Slow progress lately bloody Xmas present too buy for the kids lol, I've had my pipe werx
Down pipe and De cat fitted also had a new pcv and oil pick up pipe done at the same time, my adapters have come for the range rover wheels,  so just need some Tyres to trial fit them, also since My down pipe has been fitted the cat back I had on it sounded terrible so
The only choice was to go bcs for there full 3" cat back which is mated up to my 3" pipewerx dp and de cat and it sounds amazing ... Also booked in for stage 2 map for 25th Jan @r tech

Re: now r tech stage 2 gti.
« Reply #29 on: January 25, 2014, 05:55:10 pm »
Well I made the 2 and a half hour drive to r tech this morning, my car had a custom tiv stage 2 map and I'm very happy with the results of 276.4 bhp.and 335.84 lbft. He said there was another 5 to 10 bhp to be had but my air con rad has lots of damage and is blocking the airflow to my intercooler...
My next step is to replace my air con rad and fit a S3 intercooler then a hpfp and try for 300 bhp on the baby turbo
