Spoke to a local Revo franchise and they totally put me off going for a revo map.
He said he didn't like doing them as he only makes £80 on each map and it's a minimum of 3 hours labour meaning he loses money on it. Also said he hasn't got the hardware to do it yet and that he would have to send the ecu off to revo leaving my car useless for 3 working days.
He just didn't seem interested so think I'll look elsewhere.

If he hasn't got the equipment to do them properly then he should offer the service. I'm fairly sure there's lots of us on here that could lift out our own ecu and send it off for remapping and save ourselves £80. I haven't looked into it too much myself but I've seen a few posts of people mapping their own cars.

Yer that was my thoughts, im putting brand new hids in my dads car tomorrow morning so the old ones that are in his car currently are my old ones so i'll be robbing them me finks....
i've started attacking my armrest i've dremeled the plastic base off and sat the cut off piece below the fixing mount so @ the mo i've reduced the excess height by about 2"...now the hard bit is making it look OEM+ once refitted....then if it ever stops raining i'll fit my wind deflectors and carbon wrap my bonnet scuttle panel..
Be interested if you had some pics of the modification. Am waiting on mine being delivered.
I don't like naming and shaming publicly as it will always start an argument.
I spoke to goapr about mapping it and they said although they don't map the cr170 yet, they may in a few months. He was very cagey about releasing any info but did tell me if I had rang a week ago he would have definitely said no apr wouldn't be doing it.
Watch this space as goapr rival revo massively.
I also had my cupra grille delivered, thanks David at Sere motors and I've ordered some black plastidip to spray the number plate panel and seat badges
Just spent the last half an hour at my local dealer trying to get a fascia surround to fit a RCD 510.
First response i got was 'Our system doesn't show anything for your car.'
I gave him a part number i found on here stating it may not be the colour i need, but its a silver/grey colour.
The last 3 digits dictate this.
Off he went again for another 10 minutes.
When he came back they said 'There are 4 silver grey colours, but our system shows you have a black dashboard.'
Off out to the car we go. Yes i have a black dashboard, but where the stereo/heater controls fit is a silver grey colour.
'Oh, we will have to get back to you on this one as i can't locate a colour for that bit on our system.'
They are also quoting between £30-£35. Seems a lot to me for a piece of plastic.
He had the reg and VIN number.

I guessed i would have to order one, but didn't think i would have these issues.
Only the second time i have been to them. The first being to buy wiper blades.
Get the feeling this could drag on a bit.

Just had a call off them. He has managed to track the colour down from the colour of the stereo currently fitted.

Yeah bud, under tray off, arch liner off, couple of clamps and torques, turbo coupler changed over for neuspeed one, coupler taken out of standard discharge pipe for intercooler pipe and put onto neuspeed pipe, and one silicone hose fitted. Piece of piss with good instructions
cheers bud,appreciate it
No, haven't been to that one since buying the car 5 years ago.
Its the one in Benton that used to sell Saab.
Just a picture of my headlights aligned and the digital mph display
Can the digital mph be done on the pre facelift?
