@strell in all honesty at first I couldn't notice a massive difference but now I love it -  I'm sure I'll be consuming a lot more fuel because of it though!

Sorry to hear about the recent bad luck. But glad it's all sorted. Car is looking stuning. The tyres are a bargain. Had them on my 5 series and may look into getting them for myself when it comes to changing.

Sorry to hear about the sh*t luck. At least the damage was all on the one panel and the other two were alright in the end. Cars looking great  :happy2:

Small addition to add - just fitted this today:







I didn't want an intake based on the noise levels it creates. The whooshing noises just sent for me although in the (distant) future I would consider a VWR intake as I'm led to believe they are much quieter. I don't plan on going crazy numbers but stage 1 is on my mind.

Thanks to @Dave J for the speedy delivery and @bonelorry for his time and advice.

Next plan fingers crossed is the pilgrimage to RTech for a stage 1 map!   :happy2:

You're welcome, & good to read this update! Glad to hear you're happy with the VWR filter. I bought it thinking I wouldn't want an intake kit, and then I watched Youtube...
You'll be over the moon with a Stage 1 remap - I can't believe I didn't have one sooner on mine...

Cheers @Dave J

Stage 1 is on the list not helpful though that rtech have put their prices up just as I was gearing up towards it!

Only concerned though I've noticed people get wheel spin when going on to stage 1. I was keen to avoid this - is it possible?
