That solves the mystery of the old system being on sale!
Good fit with the bumper - how loud is it with it being non-res?

Hi, yeah the old system was just a stop gap having said that is was a really good fit considering the price .as for the Milltek I’ve had a few non - res systems now and really like the build quality and fitment as for the sound not to loud to gives a nice deep tone nothing over powering if you know what I mean .

Small update... first thing was the bonnet latch decided it was not going to play anymore and point blank refused to close so decided to replace it and contacted VW to order a new one which was £78+VAT in the mean time i removed the old one which was in a right state and no wonder it stopped working. Anyway Decide to give it a thorough cleaning with wd40 it came up well and also fixed it which was a bonus.

The last thing is the car has been Remapped by my local Vag Specialist i always use this is a custom Remap and not a Generic remap. But Unfortunately this has not had the all singing and dancing Rolling road treatment so i have no rolling road print off or graph for remap values but what i can say is like any remap the difference is like night and day so EST BHP is now 245-255 and feels more top end of the scale. very happy and more to build on.

Small update ....but i can't be happier managed to get hold of a set of my all time favourite wheels i don't think these need an introduction has they have been done so many times and even had a set on my old gti.... BBS LM Reps .

so test fitted the wheels today ..and as i thought i need to run a 8mm wheel spacer as it has very little clearance with the R32 front brake calipers so ive ordered some H@R hubcentric 8mm wheel spacers for it i did try a 10mm spacer but thats over kill so 8mm spacer will be perfect .

Nice update - reps or real LM's always seems to be timeless - what are you doing for tyre sizes?
