I can't remember the price tbh, dont think it was to bad price. You'll need the reflectors and toe eye cover separately.

Haven't updated in a while but Its back from tuners running a cr170 turbo and gutted the dpf out of the down pipe along with mapping to suit. Very little lag and Pulls really long and smooth.

I have changed the dash to a touran one which I think is an improvement.

I have also bought a set of genuine Audi speedline wheels in 19" 9j which i am going to refurb. Also done a little test fit and think they will fit fine on slightly stretched 235 35 19 tyres.

Ive wanted to go for the dash swap on mine fot a while but as I need the van for work everyday I've been a bit scared off stripping it all out and it being off the road for a while. A weekend job doesn't sound too bad though.

Van looks great on those wheels by the way.

Was think the same. I seriously considered going for those wheels, but just bought rs4 replicas instead. I'm thinking it was a mistake now!

Van looks great, can't go wrong with the grey, out of interest what did your old wheels come off or are they after market wheels.
Have you noticed a huge difference in ride quality going from 18 - 19 inch

Haven't drove yet with 19s in the process of splitting them down and rebuilding them. My old wheels are vw Santiago reps just painted gloss black.

I have bought some brembo rear hand brake calipers off a Ferrari 360 so I can now get my rear brake set up sorted.

I also fitted my new mfsw not working yet though

Did you have any problems with your Santiago reps? I have a wobble at speed with mine. Not sure if it's wheels or tyres. All were new and balanced.

I think these are genuine mate, as they have been split

I never had a problem with them, I would say that's down to your wheel balancing.
