My cars the same, except they used 4 screws in each plate. Must have been really worried about it falling off. Total pain in the ass.CezMer15 wrote: Ah mate, they really get to me as well. Same on the rear where some numpty previously screwed on the wider plate [emoji52] I did a quick fix and it's not overly noticeable but it'll be going to the body shop eventually to get filled in and repainted properly

Re: Hello! I'm New, and this is my automobile
So, I went down to the yorkshire dales with the wife for a weekend away and the car decided to play up. Fanstastic.
Complete loss of boost, pulled over restarted the engine and all of a sudden we're back up and running. Happened 4 times in total over the weekend, and then did 250 without missing a heart beat.Vag-Com plugged up, pulled:
000564 - Boost Pressure regulation
P0234 - 001 - Limit Exceeded (Overboost Condition)
Took her into VW yesterday and was told i need a complete new turbo because my K04 cant handle the mild boost increase from the map. I believe its the N75 and theyre trying to get a few more pennies out of me!
Back to the mappers i go to see if they can confirm my suspicions
Wish me luck

Some nice pops and bags coming from her

Installed a wheel stud conversion, turns out 90mm studs are a tad long

Re: Cez's Facelift R
Seeing as the wife refuses to buy me car parts for Christmas, I've taken it upon myself to order some bits.
They should be here tomorrow/Friday and fitted Saturday.
Once these are here, its onto more power upgrades. Loba HPFP, RS4 Return valve, and Creation Motorsport 90mm Intake pipe with oversized RamAir filter.
Going to keep the engine bay all black to keep her nice and clean. Did previously decide i wanted some red silicone hoses, but since grew up and decided to go for everything in black.
Once these items are on i should be able to hit the 370bhp mark which will be more than enough on this chassis. who knows what comes in the future, maybe a TTE420... maybe not

Front splitter on. Looks very tidy with the rest of the gloss black on the car. Rest to go on Saturday

Looks great mate! , Santa came early )
I guess an AM rear diffuser should complete the aggressive look, any plans for it?

Re: Cez's Facelift R
I'd love to get my hands on a rear diffuser like that but I have no idea where to find one for a facelift!roc82 wrote:Looks great mate! , Santa came early )

The front and side splitters are all good even though they stated to 2014, but I'm not sure if they changed the rear insert.
I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and give one a go next year won't I!

Re: Cez's Facelift R
I guess the pre facelift AM diffuser should fit ok, but after you find the one you like you can drop a question to the supplier ( just to be covered if it doesn't fit)

Didn't like this colour previously, but I love this. Black badges and wings would make it even more aggressive.

She's a very 'mustard' type car I do agree. Luckily most people come around to liking it!Adam90 wrote:Didn't like this colour previously, but I love this. Black badges and wings would make it even more aggressive.
Yeah I'm thinking black badges and maybe carbon mirrors, still undecided on mirrors though

I may have some mirror caps available in black. They'd need spraying/wrapping however.CezMer15 wrote:She's a very 'mustard' type car I do agree.
