Lol, thanking the working class for paying your taxes and gloating about running your cars on red ain't the wisest thing to do on the net mate. As for your grill, wrap it or spray but sounds like you have plenty of money so you might as well pay someone to do a pro job on it

Don't know, will be for sale in the very near future lol

I was under the impression these cars were daily drivers rather than purely for the track/strip or am I getting confused?

Ok, so are you saying it's costing people around 10k to do a sub 6 sec 0-60 or low 13 sec 1/4?

Lol yeah 0-60 or low 13 sec 1/4?

Lol sorry 0-60

I'd say skoda myself other than that take a looking in the for sale section on here or eBay for a second hand grill. Not sure you can buy them from eurocarparts or gsf etc

I understand what people are saying but it's the cost to do this I'm getting at. How much are people ploughing into these cars to get anywhere near a 5-6 sec 0-60 time I'm not into 1/4 mile or racing starts from lights etc etc in my vrs but am interested to know why people would spend so much on one of these to have some so called fun and why they wouldn't buy a car more suited to 1/4 mile in the first place? What figures are we talking eg car + mods to get a vrs to do say a 6 sec or sub 6 0-60 time?

Nice but what I'm trying to get at is the cost of getting big power/ torque onto the black stuff especially when it comes from standing starts eg the strip and playing with cars that don't have the same problems as fwd diesels?

Fair enough but at what price?

Glad you found one. What's the spec and what did you pay?

A LSD ain't going to help you get off the line any quicker. These front wheel drive diesels are ok for B road fun but ain't worth a **** running big power as it can't be put down especially from a standing start

Sounds like piston slap to me had the same thing on a R5 GTT

Took me months to find mine and as you said there are so many overpriced dogs out there it's unreal. Just keep looking you'll find one. After months of searching I found a 1 owner with full history at sensible money, they are out there so be patient

not thought about ap shocks and springs?
