Evening all,

 

I'm the proud owner of MY14 tdi VRS Estate and whilst it's given me pretty faultless ownership for 3 years I have one main gripe. 

 

The ride quality is quite uncertain on poor surfaces and I wonder whether there is a relatively cost efficient way improving this by upgrading the springs / dampers? 

 

I'm not a technically minded car person but can see there are options out there? 

 

Could I even fit adjustable dampers that would do a similar job as DCC?

 

Also have many owners on here considered a vinyl wrap? Any recommendations in Kent/Essex/Surrey.  I reckon £1750 will do the trick and transform the looks for the next 3 years. 

 

Cheers.

 

Chris

KW has several options regarding adjustable springs (height) and dampers (bound/rebound) they also have a set with DCC that you can adjust by an app on your phone

£1750 for a wrap? Didn't realise they are so expensive! 

Or are you budgeting £1750 for the springs / dampers and the wrap? 

Well I've had one quote back for a vinyl wrap and it's around that price for a full.sized family estate. Like everything in life I'm sure there are cheaper options.

As per other reply that's just the wrap. 

 

I don't know enough about the damper point yet to reply in detail but suspect it's £500-£1000?
