Hi Sasha, could you please point me in the direction of how to get a download to update my satnav to get speed cameras 🎥 

There is a thread, I’ll have a look for it.

Treated it to its first wash in 6 months (I have small children, so don't get time!) and it's scrubbed up rather well! 

 

Planning to clay, DA polish and wax tomorrow if it's dry, to correct some minor swirls and apply a fresh layer of protection.

Looks great! See you are on the Octy vRS fb group too, send the Mk3 group a request and I’ll approve it. Can’t share it on the other group, they get ****y lol.

Fine thanks that's impressively quick you didn't hang around with the mods, must have been listenening well to my sound advice. Sounds like about the limit for the standard turbo plus stage 2 hardware. Need a bigger IS38 turbo to reach 385-410bhp levels.

[pkcskoda]

Sure did !! That’s next on the list been looking around with out success, Any ideas where,y,and a rough gauge on price?????

Salvage yards and fleabay since Golf R been using that turbo since 2014 but they are very sought after and probably going to cost £600-750 depending on how many miles the donor car has done. Stage 1 map takes that turbo to about 370bhp and upto 415bhp with the right bits fitted.

[pkcskoda]

Tried lots of salvage yards no joy!!  May have to go the new route depending on what else it needs for the swap over or straight swap???????

What is being done here?

[shrikep15]

I was doing a single stage machine polish prior to applying a ceramic coating. It is good practice to tape up badges, seals etc to protect them when polishing to avoid damage.

Washed a week after clay bar and waxing....

[pkcskoda]

Looks good but would look even better with a set of 19 black extrem’s on it got some plus encouraging disc and pads front and rear

[stubev156]

Agreed with that!  Apart from I don't know how harsh they would make the suspension on  a VRS 220! 🙂
