nice looking car mate, any joy with the remap.

[benjamin]

Small update, still a work in progress, needs spacers and wheels painting. But I've changed bulbs again with chrome indicators and better LEDs. But kw coilovers have been on for a month or so now.

Looking good. Once you get some springs on,it will look really top notch!

Thanks mate hope you were referring to mine?

[Wolfi]

No, yours fantastic as it is. Very tired so a lapse in concentration!

[benjamin]

Couple of small updates, coilovers settled and running nice, 20mm hubcentric spacers on the rear and new plates.

Remap is next, found a local guy to me, doing custom maps and dpf delete for £350, which is almost too cheap not to do.

I'm trying to keep changes subtle, any ideas on other changes? I'm thinking gloss black wheels next if anyone's good at photoshop

[greypolo9n3]

where is this person who does remap and dpf removal for £350? thats so cheap! i must get it done

how you finding it now?

p.s. dont go for black wheels, they look cheap tacky boy racery etc etc

id rather you went for a nice medium grey colour, it would look so much better

Company called dynotune based in c**t, sent me an email quote today

I just think black and red would tie it all together? But maybe you're right.......

[AJ_7]

I'm not very good at Photoshop but here's a few images of Black Boavistas that i've accumulated!





There's also a guy on these forums that has them but i'm struggling to find the thread! I'll post it up if I find it

[cho5en]

Quick and dirty ..... but you get the idea..

[Wolfi]

I'm not normally a fan of black boavista's BUT in this case, i think that they would look brill on your car. The red and black would look really good!

[benjamin]

Thanks for the photoshop I'm liking the black! Think it's going to be done, I've got rid of all the chrome and silver so I think it'll suit it.

Dynotune are based in scun thorpe (won't let me use the full word) I have a quote on email, I'll have it done soon and report back.

Does anyone have ideas on getting the rears lower on coils? I have helpers, cups and bump stops out in those pictures, would like just a bit of tuck.......

[benjamin]

So the backs scrub a touch on the arch liner over bumps at speed. Has anyone taken their arch liners out?

I'm thinking of doing the front and backs so I can space the fronts out aswel.

You could raise your coils up 5mm? or get the spacers turned down 3/4mm

I emailed dynotune...no reply been well over a week

[benjamin]

Going up is not an option for me, I really want it lower if I'm honest. Think it might just be a case of bite the bullet and take them out...........or drive slower......

On the off chance, does anyone know of a 6r gti grill for sale, or how much they are from the stealers?
