Re: Candy R + MODS

This car used to have Bilstein B16 dampers on it, I wonder what happened to those? The previous owner removed them prior to selling the car, and sold them off seperately. You have really nice scirocco! That cup spoiler fit that very well :p what wheels do you have? The reason for asking is that i h...

Re: Candy R + MODS

Re: Candy R + MODS

@Nighthawk was fun mate, hope you get the remap done and potentially a new exhaust - i don't see many R's in sheffield so made a good change! Springs are H&R from http://awesomegti.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - you can order the cup spoiler from any vw dealership...

Re: Feedback on a Candy 61

I went with http://www.apr-remaps.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but if your car is 08+ id let him know because he had quite a lot of trouble doing mine, he ended up driving the ECU down to york to get it done. So you might be better asking him for his mates number i...

Re: Feedback on a Candy 61

@Kennowaybino - i can't reply to your PM, looks like i'm too new to private message on this forum, strange setting. I got my remap for £245 so i think your being over charged with your quote. And i would definitely recommend getting the wheels :)

Re: Feedback on a Candy 61

Feedback on a Candy 61

Hey all, So far i've changed the rims to 19" wolfrace, tinted the windows & headlights, added the red strip mod to the grill, got the roof wrapped, sprayed the mirrors black and painted the calipers red. Thinking about getting it lowered but the roads around where i live are terrible so I'm...
