They always look so different and IMHO a lot better with the R32 derrière and central exhaust. The exhaust iteslf looks excellent too, I really do like the cut tips, may have to get the same made up for mine from BCS and see what they look like in place.

Keep up the good work.

Thankyou, i really love the R32 rear, especially with the slashed tips! the exhaust was all hand-custom made on the day some real workmanship gone into it couldn't fault it! Yes i was looking at BCS before hand they have had really good write ups, although after a few recommendations and it being a lot closer to home for me, i decided to go with EMP!

I'm going to EMP on the 21st for an R32 style exhaust on my TDI. Hopefully it doesn't sound sh*t and I'm sure it will look as good as yours! How much was your remap?

Nice buddy, i don't think you will be disappointed lemme know how you get on! I got the full turbo back system; well worth the money if i am honest! for both the exhaust and remap it was £1200, Exhaust was £850, the Remap was £350 both inc VAT. i thought i might as well get the full whack done!  :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jumpmove:

Next thing on the list is an Edition30 front splitter, really want to tidy up the front end. Is the best place to grab one from VW or does anyone know a site that sells them other than 'Awesome' & Ebay Copies?  :sad1:

Purchased some White LED Plate bulb Units which should arrive in the next few days; tidy up the rear a little more!
Also going to look into changing all of the interior lights to LED's and grabbing some chrome bits and pieces, will update what gets bought and when they arrive!

I am still on the hunt for an Edition 30 front Splitter so if anyone has one or knows the best place to buy one, give me a shout!  :drinking:

Its been a few weeks, so here is an Update!



Purchased the LED plate bulb units, and a set of front and rear pressed plates. Currently am only running the rear pressed plates at the minute, as the front is cable tied to the Lower Grille, didn't really fancy drilling the new plates yet.

Also Bought a new head unit, had been looking for a while at an RNS510 to replace my standard 300. but after seeing the reviews for the OEM Kenwood DNX520VBT's sound quality compared to the 510, i couldn't resist purchasing one



The old unit came out with a few Torx screws and some trim clips, and the new unit went in.







Overwhelmed with the sound quality, Aux Input, USB, Bluetooth, GPS, DVD etc.etc, and it really fits in well with the interior. :jumpmove:
