Featured Replies

I've not posted much about the BBS LMs. I have fully stripped them down, polished the dish and painted the centres in original BBS gold. Fitted new red/gold genuin BBS crntre caps. Also fitted genuin BBS spigot rings. Cost me a fortune!!

Spec of the wheels originaly are..

Fronts LM154 5x112 19" 8.5j et32

Rears LM155 5x112 19" 9.5j et32

Sorry for the amount of pics :-)

Sorry for the amount???....Post more please :clap:

 

Lovin the car...LM's look the best so far but in fairness we haven't seen the Porsche ones in proper profile yet....Did you get the s/w on yet?

Looks great with the new s/w...Will you be rebadging the center cap?...Porsche wheels look really good too

Of course it works. Every button except the phone, but i removed the speaker etc from the overhead light as i have a parrot kit installed. So that doesnt bother me.

Cool. Is it an expensive upgrade?

It can be..

Depends how and where you source parts. I think i got the steering wheel and airbag very cheap at £360 delivered. Then £60 for CH controller. They seem to be going for closer to £500, but you may find one at a complete bargain somewhere.

As for coding, if you havent got vagcom im sure someone will do it for beer tokens.

You have to have won in the lottery or something...? Air suspension, three or four different wheel setups (19" LM's atleast £2k?), GTI mfsw, engine mapping... £5k won't cut for those mods. Who's your sponsor? :p

 

Btw. you should have kept those LM's on it. The best combo so far, IMHO...

  • Author

I wish i had. Work hard. Play harder.

Looking good mate. Just one question though, why only 198bhp when it has dpf delete, exhaust and a remap? Just the remap on my cr gave me 212bhp? Thought with a dpf it should be reaching 220? Not a dig just curious mate.

  • Author

Cause the exhaust gas temps are 1000 degrees. Any more and ill be melting stuff. You had yours rolling roaded at that? If it is that power id ask your mapper or someone with vagcom to monitor your EGTs :-|

  • Author

Its the exhaust/turbo manifold that restricts it. I plan a 2260 at some point. But then its fuel pump that limits to 240/250bhp.

Yeah had it rolling roaded at awsome with a bunch of guys from here a few month back. 212bhp 335 pound or torque
