I have a 9n3 GTI in the same colour too! 8) Absolutely love it to bits and coming from a 1.2 9n background, the power delivery is absolutely amazing......

You feel a massive difference.

I now am very confident with the brakes, before it felt like "am i going to stop in time", now it's feels like i could jump out my seat and hit the windscreen when i hit the brakes :D
