Sug:
Well had the R for 18 months now and still enjoy driving it as much as when I first took it for a spin. Fantastic all rounder and love how people underestimate what they are actually capable of with a little hardware/software upgrades.
Previous to this I had the beloved eddy another faultless car apart from a new clutch needed when the stage one map melted it. Only fitted some eibach springs, stage one software and a few different sets of wheels to this as was pretty new to the tuning scene.




Bought in Nov 2013 with 40k, DSG box, 19s, DCC, Dyno audi, Full leather, Cobra tracker, Sat nav and VW warranty until may 2016.
Only pic I have when first bought her sorry

So my aim was stage 2+ and as a APR dealer was 15 mile away chose to go there.
First things first though
VWR lowering springs



Then for some wheels, struck lucky with this purchase as they were originally intended for an EVO X but when arriving from Japan were wrong fitment so I snapped his hand off for them.
Advan Racing RS in gunmetal grey. Just under 7kg a wheel ( 19" tally is 17kg) nice 40kg saving.
Never seen any on a golf yet?



How she looked with springs and wheels along with front and rear gloss badges



Some rear plate lights

Then replaced plugs, R8 coil packs and an Evoms intake

Loba Motorsport HPFP

BCS downpipe and sports cat

Then off to get the APR stage 2+software (Automotive solutions Peterlee) VW specialist.
Mate looking nervous

What a difference from stage 1 especially mid rage. Off the mark is brutal even more so using DSG launch and the grip is never ending really hard to loose any sign of traction even in the wet.
Then came the gloss black roof wrap which I wasn't totally convinced on but thought what the hell and iam very pleased with the result




So that brings me up up to date not really sure what to do next?
