You wont notice any bhp difference I doubt. Maybe 1-2 if you're lucky. I don't know if it'd affect warranty or not.

so how comes eerybody say "have a PD160 intake and green panel filter" if theres not much difference? I'll get mine re-mapped to

For better air intake. You arent going to notice a few bhp when you already have 130.

i just bought my pd160 air intake last week...cost me £67 all in. wasn't happy seeing as its literally just a plastic pipe but I had to have it ready for the mapping soo....

so its best to have a PD160 air intake when having it remapped? seeing as mines a 100bhp, will i need a pd130 air intake or doesnt it matter?

Ben... car looks sweet! What % tint are the rear windows? Get a polo aero wiper!

 

[ben-ducky]

20% i think the guy said? 'midnight' shade.

Glad you've posted the pictures up mate, my car is exactly the same, but a 57 plate, and i've been thinking about getting exactly the same mods done! Now i've seen the photos its made my mind up for me!

Can you tell us a bit more about the painted calipers please? Did you do them yourself or what?

Cheers
Cian

thanks mate...

about the calipers- i did them myself (well me and my old man), just took the wheels off, used petrol to clean the calipers and then waited for them to dry, then painted them using brake caliper paint from Halfords- give them one coat left them and then give them another.
surprisingly they were right after the second coat...waited for them to dry and then applied the brake caliper decals.

how far have you got with your car ciano125? i love the look of the car as it is so i just decided to paint the calipers and tint the windows just to set it apart a bit and im really happy with how it looks.

Thanks for the reply dude. Mine is totally standard at the moment, but it wont be long before i get the urge to tinker! In fact, I can feel it starting already!

The calipers then, was it a spray job or a brush? And where/how much were the tints? I've had a quote of £160 for the back three from Pentaglass, which i dont think is too bad really.

Might see about a remap when I get paid tomorrow, been doing a fair bit of research on the subject and narrowed it down to P Torque and Custom Code. I work in Leeds so might go CCode to be honest. We'll see.

ahh right.
for the calipers i used a brush. had a local place to do my tints (dragon tint, llanelli) £130 for the rear three although I had another quote of £160 from another place.
be sure to get some pics up of urs when you've done some tinkering.

Photo oppurtunity

Havent posted in my thread for a while...
My mates just bought a Leon FR TDI so after cleaning both cars I thought it would be a good oppurtunity to take a few photos...
