Thanks nats148. Blue Silk does seem to be very light sensitive and in overcast conditions looks very different to the photo I posted above. You'll see my solution to whiteworm corrosion on VW's persistence of putting diamond cut alloys on their cars; swap them for a more durable set of wheels :D

I also think a bit of polish and wax makes a difference which the ones I'd seen hadn't been treated to :roll: wouldn't have been an issue for me really though :lol:

I like those, a good solution.

I've emailed the service desk today and asked whether they think it'll be covered by warranty :?

Looks good George. Maybe it's a Blue Silk thing but I see you've ditched the diamond cut alloys too.

Caught your car outside Cineworld last night mate - looks awesome! Mine was parked on the end near yours looking absolutely filthy. Didn't see anyone around otherwise I would have said hi.

Hope you didn't get a ticket? I caught a traffic warden about but he seemed to ignore your car and walk off down towards Hollywood bowl.

Ahh I see, wondered if it was anyone's on here. Didn't get a ticket so it was all good, saw him and just kept watch of him

I have a manual. But I choose the low boost Stage 1, as Revo said when you are worry about clutch. So expecting about 220hp and 375Nm.
Little update, going for it tomorrow morning, didn't have time during the week. So review tomorrow!

Revo Stage 1 "low boost" installed! Very nice change, I can highly recommend it! Definitely more power thru all rpm range. Especially higher torque push you in to the seat! Really good upgrade, it took about 20 minutes to flash the ECU. I have the 98 octane map, low boost. Image

I was really interested in remap but loosing warranty, at least for the engine, pushed me out of this. Turbochargers are likely to fail in these cars...

Well, what I have read, they collapsed in standard cars too. The software is almost undetected, we try it today in VW service and car seems like oem.
