Well, not entirely to my taste, but a good effort. Then on to try to find this company webpage in Chinese and the see if there are any photo showing fit and finish on these bits.

Seems to be a carbon fiber version and a carbon fiber/glass fiber.

it is pretty wild. already have to move up and down to get the full view in rear view mirror, but with that ridinkulos wing there can't be much to see.

I doubt that wing would effect rear visibility at all.

I spoke to the makers of the kit last year. If it was around £5k I'd have had it.

Unfortunately it's closer to £15k. They are from the far east and they said it was $13k shipped, plus the import duty... easily £15-£18k exchange rate dependant.

I love the aggressive look of this kit, the spoiler is a bit Marmite though...

Let's just appreciate for a moment the fact that they've somehow squeezed 460 BHP out of the 2l TFSI platform with some serious upgrade wizzardry! This thing must be absolutely insane to drive, being that it's still based on a FWD platform. Hell, you'd need the bigass wheels just to get the power down; let alone that widebody to house them!

Getting 460bhp from TFSI isnt particularly hard.
There are bolt on hybrid turbo solutions that do that. You only need bolt on supporting parts. :)

Recommended full forging but people are running nearly 500bhp on stock internals.

There is a guy local to me in Sheffield running around 450 bhp i believe, though i'm pretty sure it's not his daily driver

Not sure how reliable it would be at that sort of power though

To a point. End of day if you are pushing 400 + bhp or lb ft you are taking a risk and really need rods at the very least.
