My 'new' 2017 VRS

Featured Replies

Picked her up on Saturday and drove 100 miles home over the Yorkshire Dales! :)

 

Better pics once she has been fully valeted.

Looks a nice example, petrol or diesel, DSG or manual. How did it go, are you pleased with it.

Very tidy!

Do you have anything planned for it other than a valet?

Manual and petrol!  My preference. 

 

Only 10K and as new as best I can see.  Very nice drive.  Coming from a Z4 remapped to 250hp, but impressed with standard performance and nice to have some space!

 

This year

1) De-badge (except black VRS badges)

2) Different alloys (just don't like the standard ones)

3) Gloss black roof wrap

4) Possibly subtle double stripes along lower sides.

 

Next year

5) Remap to 280hp once the warranty is out

6) Lower with Eibach or similar

7) Upgraded discs and pads

 

Then… who knows?

Stage 1 map is 300 easy 

Eibachs sit a little higher than H&R but I love the H&R’s on my car

Golf Clubsport discs and pads are awesome with the standard calipers. I’ve gone full on and added Aston DB9 4 pot calipers with Golf CS discs. Stops now 😂

Good to know!

 

Don't believe the "stops now" at all.....

They made a massive difference around Silverstone and great weight saving over standard.

Hurry up Captain - poor thing looks filthy 🙄

 

As Sasha says, stage 1 can be c.300bhp.  Mine was DSG so could take a higher setting, but the difference before and after is, shall we say, rather noticeable.
