The wheels are finished in matte black, not my first choice of colour but were much cheaper than graphite so they'll do for now.

Also fitted a set of McGard Ultra locking bolts.

As Revo currently have 20% off we thought we'd take advantage of that, took the R to JKM and had a Milltek downpipe put on and then flashed to Stage 2+, we are awaiting Revo to get back with the DSG map and that will be loaded on too.
Somewhere along the way we also had a LOBA HPFP fitted.
After driving around for a few days we decided the non- res TBE was too noisy, sounded like a tractor lol. As the car was booked in to have the seat base changed under warranty, VW kindly swapped our resonated section back for us...
