    Cold Air Intakes - Carbonspeed, Carbonio and APR's Carbon intake all the same thing?

    That sounds right - I bet its the updated full unit (as mentioned above) the dealer was talking about.

    I've got you! I understand now. That must be the one the he was recommending. He said he'd recommend either the APR Carbon or The Racing Line one.

    Another Revo suggestion - I'd best have a look at them! Yep - it already has an updated fuel pump. That is all really top advice and stuff I didn't realise. I'll keep the maintenance in mind when I choose one. Much appreciated.

    Right! i thought a much Right! I thought as much. I'll have a look at the Revo and VWR one. To be fair, I think he recommended the VWR one as a likely upgrade.

    So I was really happy with my Stage 1 remap. It turned out I had a downpipe and other bits and pieces on that the previous owner fitted.

    My APR remap was done at CLP Automotive near Sheffield (thanks to a Black Friday deal) and I have to say the improvement is awesome. It looks like it's reading around 326hp at the wheel (for various unexpected reasons), which is way more than I anticipated - especially when it turned out there'd...

    Bare Grills

    Here's mine just fitted while I was pondering the plate. I know black on black isn't everyones cup tea but I love the stealth look I'm afraid, so I don't care.

    Think I prefer that look too. Don't have a short number plate but I may do eventually.

    Stage 1 advice...

    Doncaster. The nearest APR dealer is Sheffield. I just noticed you're from Rotherham. Think I may have seen you around on my travels to Sheffield. Also seen a similar car in Barnsley once or twice.
