...and lose the flush fitment look! Never!! lol Besides im not talking about flaring. A 2mm pull maybe and flattening inside the arch tub. Also if i camber i move into more problems on the back of the arch with the tyre.

This gonna happen before xmas?

Sooo went down to Essex/London for the weekend and then to Brands Hatch for Modified Live on Sunday and on the way down on the A1, with a full tank and some bags went over a crazy bump and my arch decided it didn't like my wheel colour... http://i50.tinypic.com/2u3zep2.jpg RIP lol. Sooo its booked i...

Well with the DPF delete pipe, labor and re-map your looking about about £600-800 depending on where you go. If its a revo map your looking at £399 or £449 depending on what stage your at.

My main problem with doing it myself is as i have the 170 i also need to get a DPF delete pipe. Plus then a re-map to sort the lack of DPF out as its very restrictive on tuning lol.

Cheers :) Just bought 225 30 tyres to go on front, so I can slam it a wee bit more :D Did you get a quote for decat? What width are your wheels? Mine are 9s, so with the 215/30 there's a lot of stretch. My old tyres were the same 215/30 just a different manufacturer but the tyre wall was much bigge...

Thanks

215/30

Sooo having a few problems with the passenger side rear arch/wheel. As like most VW's that hub slightly sticks out more than the other side like by 1-3mm. It never really bothered me the wheel rubbing over big bumps as the wheels were going in for refurb. Going to have to either camber it out by 1 d...

Everyone that runs this Q7 wheel keeps it polished face with either a silver or black back. Also the paint was flaking bad and the masking off around the polished faces wasn't the best imo.

Nothing better than something marmite on a car

Preferred them before, but they are certainly going to draw some attention. Its just some fun for the remainder of the summer. A friend offered to pay for it so i said sure lol. They'll go matte grey eventually ;) So much attention its unreal. Love this , just read it all through , looks great on t...

:shock: :shock: :shock: :0 :0 :0 u got a pic of whole car with both wheels ?? http://i45.tinypic.com/vgrgc0.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/33z4sjd.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/21e5ge8.jpg Its a very hard colour to show on a camera sensor. Its so much duller and the purple shows more in person. Love them!...

Soo finally back from a weekend in London and Essex. Picked up the wheels from the powder coaters today, and then slapped them back on the car. I might have got the colour slightly wrong lol. But i still love them and the finish is amazing. http://i49.tinypic.com/hvxkix.jpg They are much duller and ...

your car sits sweet .i bought the same wheels of some doosh on fleebay but he f#cked me about so i never got them in the end so gutted now looks awesome :-bd :-bd :-bd Thank you :) Gutted, there a great OEM wheel. Theres a set on ebay that are corroded to the max that are constantly being relisted ...

Heeeey

Yea thats my money pit

De-cat makes a heck of a difference, de-cat is a must. Like I said, it sounds much better, will give around 5-10 bhp depending on service history and stage 1 remap, turbo spools much quicker, goes well all through the gear/rev range, very smooth. Love the sound of the turbo spooling, especially whe...

Im sure. I have full lock both ways, no touching or rubbing from anything. Checked every week on the ramp.

I was charged £369 from Revo Stage 1 remap, and stainless steel decat pipe cost me £90 inc vat, part, and labour. Let me know how you get on with the 3' exhaust system. I'm very tempted to do mines, I've been quoted £350 for twin pipe custom exhaust. One pipe on the right, and the other on left ...

looks great dude love the flanking mk2 and mk4 too Thank you :) Yea mk2 is pretty nice, i did an audio install in that one too lol. So today i got the passat up on the ramp and got the 20s off. Took adapters, tyres, valves and weights off ready for powdercoat. Then, because i put the standard 17s o...

It was a good day, apart from the strip accident. Hope everyone who was involved recovers.

Possibly the last photo of the car with the wheels like this...



Taken at GTI International today. As there going in for powdercoat this week, losing the polishedness and black barrels and going all one colour.

What stage 2 upgrade are thinking of doing? I am planning to do a stage 2 upgrade hopefully soon. Tbh i don't even know what increase the stock 170 components can take. I'm thinking FMI, intake, upgraded exhaust with decat. I don't really know without research what the internals can take. Stock 170...
