They are just the factory xenon lights and ip get a picture later when its dark of them lit up

Looks much fresher with the painted grilles, takes years off it! One more job added to my list then.

Also approve of the eddy/r32 lights.

Good to see nice mods on another Tornado Red, helps me plan mine

Oh and there really isn't much between a GTI and R32. My GTI has a shade under 300lb/ft from 2500rpm (thanks to R-Tech).... makes it really strong and punchy, and honestly - bring on the R32s..... I'd leave them behind.

There not standard on the gti are they? Are they from the r32 looking for some brighter lights as mine just don't cut it

Cheers mate, I've had a browse at your car, looking good. I'm planning a visit to R tech later this year maybe, did you go stage1? And did you get the dsg remapped (if it is a dsg)

They are an optional extra, I think the r32's have them as standard.. Have a look on ebay etc and olin the for sale section on here. There is normally a pair up for grabs and they look much better as well as lighting the whole road up

Yeah just stage 1. I made sure I replaced the pcv, cam follower and diverter valve a few weeks before I got the remap.

It's a brilliant map, smooth but really strong. It flies now.

I've got a manual box.

Might go for an uprated HPFP and exhaust/decat at some point and head back down to have them tweak the map to stage 1.5 / 2 or whatever it'd be.

But for now I'm more than happy!

Excuse the dodgy photo!

Nice man, the bottom 2, runs I think they are, are they before and the top 2 are after? Couldn't read it 100%. What mods did you have at the time?

[AJP]

Yeah I think he did 2 runs pre map to log etc, then came back and did 2 more with the new map. Was a good few hours at it, and it shows.

No surging, spiking, flat spots etc, and big torque for a k03.

The reputation of R-Tech is justified.

That's bone stock. Just the map.

Spraying the front grill was a fantastic shout! I was at a show recently and they were a MK5 there which just had a full respray but for some reason all his front grills were nearly grey they were so faded! let down the car so much!

[Alex.J]

I think you have to have a set number of posts before your allowed to comment etc. There is a rules or guide thread in the for sale section and that tells you how many posts you need.

Awesome Stuff!!

Love it!

Cheers man
