Yep :) Just email them to say you don't want it or just throw it away when it gets to you. You can always have a sticker of your choice on there

Definitely a fan of your motor, Benjic2! You've put some serious money and time into it!

The engine bay looks the dogs when it's detailed, but I never touch mine, as it's all standard under the hood!

I'm eager to BlueFin my diesel. My mate is getting his Golf remapped & DPF deleted, but I'm thinking BlueFin so I can revert it back to standard when I need to...
How much did that up your insurance by? (if you don't mind me asking)

Good work!

Wicked these mate. Hard to put on? Only ask because of the size

They are a doddle, just make sure you have someone holding it at the other end so you can keep the straight line. Just peel the backing tape off then place down lightly so it doesnt stick right away, then when you are happy with the placement smooth it down with a credit card wrapped in tissue ( to stop scratching) :)

Thank you very much :)

Aye I like to keep the bay clean but it only gets dirty again after driving in the rain haha! I have the induction kit back in there atm, I hate the noise but need it for stage 2 :(

I would definatly recommend the bluefin mate, it made a lot of difference on mine and the ability to revert back to standard is brilliant, that is the one thing I will miss going to APR.

Insurance wasn't too bad, increased by £22 per month if I remember correctly, but everyone's will be different

That's not too bad on insurance really! I won't be doing it until at least next May (that's when my warranty is up), and only if my insurance don't bend me over for it!:lol:

Cheers

True, some seem to be a bit nicer than others when it comes to remaps! Aviva wouldn't insure one on my Mito atall so I never bothered to tell them ( naughty I know) :p

Thanks mark! :)
It's probably the reason I never have any money left after payday :lol:
I got my sportlines from demon tweeks, they were the cheapest around at the time and still are i think ( ebay). They just arrived at the same time as my bits from Dave :p
LED's were just cheapo's from ebay mate, they all throw errors up so it doesn't matter about the brand, they are still nice and bright now so the quality must be pretty decent!
More to follow very soon ;)

No errors!? May have to invest in some of them, I have tried so many including top so called brands and all give errors... may its my car :(

Love this!

Thanks adam :D

HIDs should be here in the morning too :)

Plus.. pics of the DSG paddles I forgot to put on here.

They have " Direct Shift Gear" on them and then " Down" or "Up" . The left one doesnt show up good on the pics because ipad cameras are crap + sun was shining off the surface.
They are very cool.
