Very nice mate, bet your chuffed with that

Really happy with it, I was on the saving for one when I had my R32 and finally I have a Milltek, its only been a 2 year wait.

Enjoy the re-map mate! My car is the other way round - already got the P Torque stage 1 but getting the Milltek cat-back fitted on Saturday :) It's good to see the close-up photos of the exhaust.

Exhaust is a great fit mate, I can say from all my cars (7 so far) this is the best aftermarket fit I have had in relation to hangers and how it sits in place.

I take it your getting the revised tail pipe it's big haha!

How is your map?

Yea im getting the revised one, I didn't really like the older one. I had a Milltek on my Ibiza Cupra as well so expecting to get the same sort of sound :D

The map is good, but it was done by the previous owner so I've never been able to compare a standard LCR really. Make sure you put good quality fuel in when you get it mapped as I was told by a VAG specialist that mine could be pushing a few more BHP if the original owner hadn't used lower grade fuel :(

Cheers for this mate, if I'm honest I've never really gained anything or noticed from using higher octane fuel but maybe I should

Though I would copy this over from my removal of the rear badge thread.

So basically once you have the boot lock removed - 4/5 screws and unclip 2 bits you have the badge ready to separate:

1. Knock out this pin

2. Split the badging

3. Unclip

4. The bits

Haha take that badge

I will be re doing my rear so its nice and smooth.

Also noticed my splitter has a nice 20cm crack in it, now its £45 for the new one or a similar price for the Carbon Mods skinning kit... wonder what Im going to do?

R32 was took via scrotes in my house at 4am in the morning taking my keys. I woke up to hear it leaving!

Got paid out but couldnt get another R32 due to risk and personal reasons after the break in.

Not started the skinning process yet had to fill the wedding pot this month, it's basically covering parts with real Carbon fibre, takes 2/3 full days but I will be doing it sooner rather than later
