Hi Mike - Sorry to back track in thread a bit but I need to replace my DV, trying to decide wether to get the spacer for the noise. Do you still have your's off/was it loud/is it worth it?

Thanks!

That's pretty much exactly the answer I was looking for, thankyou!

I need to replace DV's as mine have given warning lights and drop in power. Was planning on getting the ITG and a remap, possible new exhaust system at a later date. Other than springs, short shifter and a bit of ICE that's all I'll go for (or as far as I've planned for now!).

Unless you have shiny brand name syndrome like me and go for the Forge lol

This, lol.

I'm like a crow, I'm attracted to shiney things And carbon fibre.. If they invent a metalic looking carbon fibre, I'm screwed lol.

You might order a Cupra R engine? Don't you mean engine cover or are you really pushing the boat out?!

Any pics of the white LED conversion on the climate control panel? That'd be interesting to see. Car looks amazing, big fan of the whole weight saving approach, and thanks for the info on the under body aero stuff Keep up the great work

[betty_swollox]

Are you car jacking me??!!!

I thought you might kindly donate your car to me lol

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

As much chance as someone kindly donating me a Diff and Carbon bonnet....

Got a link for the carbon bonnet out of interst? I don't like them, but am interested to see how much they cost and the weght saving available from fitting one.

Been talking to SVK customs and Sorensen Performance about the bonnets

Both companies do 3-4kg and 5-6 Kg versions road and race. I will opt for the lightest with the thinner outer layer and no bonnet catch and secure it with flush fitting Aero pins.

There are a couple of pics on SVKs website. I am awaiting the price difference between the 2 versions.




P.S Bonnet will be wrapped red anyhow.
