Wouldn't it be cheaper to get your current seats re-trimmed and you could get them in the colour you want.

Or are the others more sporty?

yeah it probably would be but it turns out the seats were bought by a nigerian wanting to pay by cheque! (seriously) so im hoping they might be a better price than £1K!!!!!
The oem ones also have a rather sexy vRS badge embroidered into them!

edit.... just like these from another vRS Nom Nom Droolage!

Join Briskoda.net - its a great forum, plenty of info but not as lively as this one (i.e. boring!)

The carbon trims and foot rest look excellent, quite subtle but makes it look interesting! Thumb Up

That carbon looks sh*t hot mate, how much was it? where from? and is it easy to do around curve's like the centre console on a 206?

its known as di noc mate and i F****d the first attempt up so tried again and it worked well.The secret is applying heat from a hairdryer! Search on youtube to see.
The sheet of it was from here(aint cheap but great stuff as you can see from the pics!)

cgi.ebay.co.uk/3M-Carb...2306b6c9f3

Yeah cheers mate, is it easy to apply around curved/round edges, i'm thinking about doing the centre console?

Another little update!
Ive decided to get cruise control!Got it at a good price and comes with the wiring loom all ready to retro fit. Im going to fit it myself but it needs switching on using vagcom,which will all be done over the weekend hopefully.
 


And also got hold of a diesel tuning box at a VERY good price Cool
Currently the vRS is 130hp and 310 Nm of torque to 163bhp and 388 Nm of torque.Although these figures are estimated ive no miss givings that it will make a difference and the pd lumps seem to respond well to tuning and mapping etc!

Do you need to insert a 20p when you want the extra power? Laughing

I wonder why I bother with this place, 4 years and all members do is slag each other off. Even Barry Boys seems a nicer place at times...

Also have coming, a vagcom cable and vagcom software to "talk" to the car and change a few settings in the ecu and some green vRS valve caps! Pics up when i get chance!

Well! A quick update really.Im annoyed in one sense that the tuning box has been fitted and removed after a day as with it in, the bloody clutch slips on boost.However, after a chat with a good mate who works for a VW tuning company he reckons my vRS is remapped already as the box shouldnt give the standard clutch any problems.The clutch and DMF were replaced 3000 miles ago according to the service book.
So im selling it on and getting the car rolling roaded asap to see what its putting out!
Next update will include retro fitting the cruise when i get hold of vagcom!

Been a while so its update time!
Fitted the cruise control and enabled it in vagcom so its all working now with great results!!(68mpg!)
 

 

Repainted the calipers as they were flaking and looked a bit grubby and added some vrs decals(which you cant really see!) Pics of decals up later!
 

Also decided the chrome grill surround looked a bit "grandad" so sprayed it black with plastidip.
 

 


Next up is retrofitting reverse sensors that are on their way as you read.Update soon!
