Hey Guys

Little update on the R

Nothing major. I've just added carbon fibre DSG paddles and gloss black badges front and back







Remap coming soon!!!

Looks good bro, next you need a Polar FIS for a digital boost gauge
If you don't get along with the extensions, have a look at the S2TPP ones, these are direct replacements.

Yeah I was looking at it. Thinking about the p3 system. I like the look of it. Also thinking about my remap soon too. Hows the revo in yours. Would you ever go the APR

Why is no one ever talking about GIAC?

Heard loads good stuff about giac but can't find my local supplier for them. Any help?

Hi Guys. I wanted to do a little winter prep on the car.

I took a few snaps. Before and After and also During.

Before:













As you can see its not too dirty. But still in need of a clean.

Started with some snow foam. Used AB Lance and a mix of G101, Avalanche and CarChem. Maybe did not need to use all of them but had spare so thought I would use them (together).







Next up was the wheels. I cleaned with Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel (one of my favourite products) and tyres cleaned with various brushes and Autosmart G101. Purple Wheel time!!!



Then rinsed and washed with Carchem Shampoo (love this stuff). Then some iron fallout and tar removal. I used Bilt Hamber Korrosol and Autosmart Tardis.





Car was then foamed and washed again with the same stuff used previously.



I then used Auto Finesse Tripple and two coats of Gtechniq C2V3 for some added protection. It got dark so did not get a chance to take any more pictures but still needed to do the interior and exhausts.

I woke up to some nice beading!!



I started on the inside of the car.

Before:







.

I used good ol' trusty Henry to hoover the whole car. Interior was cleaned with Autosmart G101 (10:1) and Autoglym Interior Shampoo. Then leather was cleaned with Gliptone Leather Cleaner and Alcantara cleaned with Race Glaze Alcantara Cleaner.

Engine Bay also had a light clean. Used Autosmart G101 (Neat) and Auto Finesse Dressle to dress.




After:





















Hope you enjoy guys!!!

ooh, be interested in the st2p ones. loving the r, need another meet so we can get some pics.

Looks cracking, I'm assuming the Recaros were a rare option to have been chosen from new?

I got the car second hand and the Recaros came with the car. Main reason I bought the this car was the seats

Are they actually a factory option though, or out of an Audi or something? They look a very nice place to perch.

Actually, that was a stupid question as they clearly have the VW 'R' stitched into them!

Ohhh sorry I'm a bit slow. Just woke up after a long day of shift work lol. Yeah they come as an option when spec'ing the car up. It's £3500 as an option. Too expensive IMO but lucky they came with the car

Hey Guys

Quick Update

The R got a custom stage 1 remap. Loving the difference it's made. However I won't be enjoying it for a couple months as im due a major knee operation on Wednesday. Sad times but at least something to look forward too.

Rav

Love those seats

Friend of mine. He does custom maps. I'm very happy with it but not sure how long I'm keeping the car for now as job opportunities maybe coming up
