Just seen a fully colour coded red 5 door gti at a vw garage in willenhall, west midlands. It doesn't quite gel for me fully colour coded, takes something away from the look of the car. Worst are the honey combe surrounds for the spot lights, colour coding realy shows up the 'open' honey combe sections. They looked like they had been done using halford's red spray!! Sorry if this is your motor you're waiting to pick up!! I would have left the exterior stock and put the money toward the 18" wheels. Just looks like a mkv colour coded and it makes the 17" wheels look to small.

LOL I saw that and Willenhall Coachcraft the other week and thought the honey comb bits ny the spots were absolute pants and looked really tacky, im wandering whether this is part of the colour pack (colour coded rear valance) or whether coachcraft have colour coded it themselves cos I can't see that being done and the factory IMO

Did you get pics of the red GTI color coded?
Irish - might try getting a group buy for superchips here in Dublin, are you interested?

kentboy - yes I am still working there, was on yesterday when you posted. Dublin has certainly changed in the last 4 years.
Dog - have a look at www.vage.ie first off, secondly I was actually on the phone to superchips today, ?650 they want including RR figures. I am pretty sure I'll go with it in Feb but yeh if you can get maybe one or two more and get the price down all the better. Barry was the name of the guy I was talking to.
Back on topic I just think the plastic sills etc help make the car stand out more and colour coding everything would look naff.

Irish - I've sent you an email about the irish superchips... [

]I might be interested in a Superchips groupbuy too lads. When are you talking about doing it?
I had kinda talked myself out of a remap when my insurance company (Hibernian) never replied to my email enquiring about remaps. T&C's of most other Irish insurers said 'No Mods'. Was kinda starting to give up on the whole idea. Then last night I got an email from Hibo appologising for the delay in responding and that as an existing long standing customer, they would try to accomodate me. Gonna drop them an email with my details and see what they quote me. Fingers crossed that it will only be another 1 or 2 hundred rather than another grand!!
?650 sounds great! Theres a tuning crowd out here in Bray and they are looking for ?550 for a tuning box!!
DirtyDog, Theres probably only a handful of 3.2 A3's in the country so assuming we all went ahead with this, if you ever meet a black A3 that manages to keep up with you...chances are, that'll be me or Irish! []

Irishtoo you chose your words wisely "that manages to keep up with you"[]
I'll be making some calls in the next few days to get some prices etc for a group buy. IF you have any other friends drop me a mail with numbers. I'm also going to look at the Upsolute option, worked well before for me so worth looking at - and theres no insurance issues.
Keep your eyes posted on the group buy section...

No I've a 2.0TDI A3 too. I just meant that the only other A3 model in the range on sale in Ireland (no sign of Audi Ireland selling the 2.0TFSI) that would keep with our remapped TDI's would be a 3.2Q and I can't imagine Audi managing to sell many. So chances are if you see a black A3 keeping up with your golf then chances are it will be a remapped 2.0TDI ie. me or Irish.
Naughty boy Irish on the insurance front!! I just did a google search for Superchips and Ireland and the first link was for your posts (Mark N) at motornet.ie!! You were slagging off superchips in one of your August posts there!!

Yeh I spoke to someone there who wasn't exactly reassuring in their knowledge but I got someone else on the phone last week.
There is a place called TurboTech based in Bray/Wicklow (one or the other) and he is another option, I'm just gonna wait until the money is there first anyway.

He's based on the Dargle Road here in Bray. Very handy for me if I decided to go there. Turns out I actually know the guy. He owns/runs the longstanding ICE shop in the same block of shops. Didn't know the Techtronics ED was the same guy that installed changers and headunits for me in the past . Its the place I mentioned in my post with regard to tuning boxes but upon further research on vage last night it seems aswell as boxes he also does custom maps with Jabba Software. Question is can he remap a PD140 yet? I might give him a buzz tomorrow.
