Where did you get the tint film from and what darkness % was it?

Ebay, and not sure what darkness percentage it is. Tried a lighter version first and it didn't blend with the rear lights. So went for the darker one I had in stock. It wasn't limo black, thats all I know

Popped to The "Evo Triangle" today, 

Parts were terrible due to road works and the dreaded convoy system and other parts were very wet and greasy,

 

However my VRS proved itself against my mates Clio RS. Kept up with it and the only thing that let it down was the size of my balls and the risks I was prepared to take. 

 

Nevertheless, Its a great way to learn how the car controls.

Better to back off than play billy big B******s and write off a nice motor.

 

I've found that the car doesn't handle as well as I'd like when pushing on. Better spend some money

What upgrades are you going for?

[Phillips]

On my last motor I did springs, top mounts and rear anti roll bar so I'm thinking I'll go for coilovers this time then see what else needs doing after testing for a while. 

 

Cant go to mad still needs to be sensible for the daily commute.

Most of my cars had the Coilover treatment. My Q3 didn't mind you.

Loving every minute,

Hard wired my dashcam, put plenty of miles on it already.

Will get some more photos asap. My Kayak looks great on its roof.

Awesome! Always up for a paddle! I have a play boat and a £40 slalom

5000k miles done, 
Trips to the beach, the refuse tip, kayak adventures, day to day work and also weddings.

Really happy with it, everyone seems to love the flat paint too. Who said it had to be metallic?

Lowered on some coilovers, rides quite firm with zero body roll.

Sits much better now its been slightly lowered.  I still don't like Meteor Grey... makes me thing the Navy had some spare ship paint   I'm trying (and 80% failing) to convince the wife I need a hot hatch/sporty cruiser (Leon Cupra/Octavia VRS TSI or similar) because I get bored quick... We haven't even got hold of the new Superb yet 

[Phillips]

Looks stunning!

 

Need to get around to lowering mine but don't have time or money at the moment.

Sits how it should of out of the factory. The colour isn't for everyone I understand that. I also like that it isn't popular. Stands out a bit more. 

Its certainly fairly pokey. Tend to sit in eco mode 80% of the time as traffic really does take the fun out of driving. But when I do get a change to open it up i'm always pleasantly surprised.

Its not as expensive as you think. I have an extra set of coilovers up for sale. Went and bought two different sets due to a mix up of communication. I'm going to take a hit on the resale price but its not the end of the world.

Its not the price of coil overs that’s the issue, it’s my current credit card balance
