Nice car! Which eibach springs did you end up using?!
And which tuningbox? There are almost no possibilities tuning the 1.6TDI yet.
ABT is coming with software end of this year apparently.

@eric - They are -25mm eibach springs. And I believe its DTUK? Will find out for sure.

No im affraid there is barely anything out for this engine, having a tough time finding air filters for this engine and my dads 2L FR :(

Does that DTUK stuff actually work?! I mean with RR bhp proof and such?

Always thought it was a bit of a hoax.

Sadly there will be no Bluefin for the foreseeable future :(

Yep it does work, the hoax is the resister type boxes on ebay which fool your car into thinking its cold and making it overfuel

Nope theres nothing so far that iv heard of

Ah ok, the discussion is always so black&white with tuningboxes.

Bluefin I have asked, but nothing. Abt will do a chip this year. I have confirmation from Germany on that topic. About 125bhp and 285NM, but pricey at about 1500 euro's...

@gez - Really wanting to get a panel filter mate, just to keep it OEM looking with the warrenty etc :)

@eric - Well we've been told to expect about 140 bhp, but how true that is I wont know till its on or RR'd, may have it done when theres a RR day next :)

Paper air filters are fine for deisels. You won't notice any performance difference changing. Good thing is they are cheap.

Cheers mate :) Yeah I love the bumper, looks even better with the gloss black grilles :D

Nothing planned as such, but I suppose over time there will be a few changes, looked into getting the cupra headlights (black inside instead of chrome) just to complete the look. Would also like to get the cupra seats in there too :happy:
