Fantastic pictures. That angry looking sky really sets the car off. Is that a genuine VW extra?

Awesome pics mate, that's a great little location for a photoshoot!

Will try to get a video later but safe to say I'm very pleased with it, the car is so much better with some noise and you can really hear the turbo now!! Love it haha

Had it done by Top Gear in Watford, was going to be £375 but got a better deal paying cash so worth asking if you get in contact with them.. (That's for a stainless non resonated cat back)

That's not bad going for a custom jobby. Let me know once you have pics or vid's of it.

Thanks, also thought the sky did a great job in making the car pop in the pics haha. Confused as to the VW extra bit? lol

Opposite Canary Wharf (funnily enough) next door to the 02 arena, exit before entering Blackwall tunnel.

There is a local White gti on coil overs sporting some serious tuck but I'd be happy just removing some of the ridiculous arch clearance....whilst being drivable

We're u order them Andy? Does it lower it by much??
Sorry only seeing this now.

Lowers it 35/45

Order through a guy on rms who works for Euro car parts and gets discount

Have made a quick video - it was filmed on an iPhone so audio isn't amazing.. It sounds much deeper in person but yeah gives an idea!

Sounds nice mate. Is it a dsg box? Have you tested it at steady speed, does it drone at all?

Nope manual. As it's non resonated it does drone a little if you're accelerating at speed but if you're just cruising it isn't an issue.
