Hi,

A couple of silly questions...

Can I have ambient lighting activated, or would it require new door cards to be fitted?

Also, what mods / changes worth making can be made via coding?

Thanks in advance

I'll have a peek. Is that with 98Ron? Do they show what the base car was making in the first place!

They show both 95 and 98 Ron and said that the base figures from the car were 199hp and 238 ftlbs

Ok. A thorough rolling road carried out. My only hesitation I guess is that when my GTi finally arrives it's only with me for two years and owned by the lease company. I assume this is done by APR dealer and would need to be removed by them every time I took the car in for warranty work. I really want APR to do the BluFin route so the owner can add/remove it then I would be kicking their door down!

What were peoples wait times once they received the in the UK status?

I'm hoping it will come into the country on monday 1st providing it sails over on sunday, and then hoping to have it by the saturday 6th. Is that a reasonable time for it to get to me or am I being too ambitious [emoji849]
