my mate thought it would be funny to put a least 25 sticky labels all over my car windows the other day, and due to sub zero temperatures the glue had bonded...VERY VERY WELL!...

after scrubbing the labels with a non abrasive sponge to absolutely no avail, i thought i would check my 'friend' and his progress and i was shocked that he was scrubbing the window as if his life depended on it!!...my window was scratched to fook..he phoned his stepdad and if anyone else has this done to them, use PETROL it works a treat..

phoned up SEAT, the windows are £40 each (2 of) but labour is.....£280 WTF??
autoglass quoted £280 all in, so will have to get these done also....

makes more sense :) mine is savage since mapping lol! what sort of torque figure are you getting out of interest? and what initial boost spike?

when it was first mapped it was 265 lbs ft, after the RR at AmD in july it was only pulling 258 lbs ft i think.

mind you it was a fookin hot day and it was due a service...(must really put both RR printouts on here)

boost spike 1.5bar...

cheers for that - think mine is producing too much torque due to a big boost spike at low revs..

If this is on your windows on the glass but a brand new stanley blade will scrape it off. Watch for burrs on the blade but if its flat it will handle it no bother

this car looks absolutely great.

I love the work you did under the bonnet.
But how did you get your throttle and charge pipe to shine that much. Looks like its been chromed...?

first i tried the old wives tale of toothpaste. tbh it looked a bit better, but 'i' will still know it is there and im a perfectionist so the windows will be replaced. when its raining the water seems to 'run' around the area i had scrubbed with toothpaste :lol:

charger pipe was polished, and inlet was defo chromed. i looked at pics of a polished inlet and it didnt fit my requirements, it looked dull...so i blinged it...
