Yes the front badge has gone. Its a tdi, iv had the rear badges removed since the photos. It was remapped two months ago. She's running 195bhp and 297 toque. :)

The standard bhp was 163bhp its only support to be 140  :grin:

I've given the Hybrid turbo a lot of consideration but i can't commit to it  ha. Im not putting side skirts on it as it scrape the floor of the car on most bumps.  :sad1:

Just fitted an RNS 510 and having the dreaded battery drain issue.   Whats done to yours?

The amount of clearance between the calipers and alloys.     i had a slight buckle in one of the wheels (not noticable al all when driving ) and the alloys would not turn....
