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

The carbon trims and foot rest look excellent, quite subtle but makes it look interesting!
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!)
Yeah cheers mate, is it easy to apply around curved/round edges, i'm thinking about doing the centre console?

#52: Re: Project vRS Update pg3 Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Wed Apr 28, 2010 2:13 pm ---- 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
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?

#55: Re: Project vRS Update pg4 Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Wed Apr 28, 2010 3:38 pm ---- Also have a few other bits too, got some black plasti dip to spray the front chrome grill to black as i think it will look better.Some vRS wheel badges but wont be going on till around july time when the wheels are refurbed.
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!
#56: Re: Project vRS Update pg4 Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Wed May 05, 2010 4:34 am ---- tuning box arrived today! Pics later when fitted and ive had a drive!
#57: Re: Project vRS Update pg4 Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Sat May 08, 2010 5:16 pm ---- 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!
#58: Re: Project vRS Update pg4 Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Mon May 31, 2010 10:59 am ---- 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!
#59: Re: Project vRS Update pg4 Author: Antix, Location: WorcesterPosted: Mon May 31, 2010 11:18 am ---- I am so looking forward to seeing you & the vRS at FCS!!
love the green calipers btw - lol @ dirty wheels!
#60: Re: Project vRS Update pg4 Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon May 31, 2010 11:21 am ---- I want reversing sensors in the Jetta (as it's got a big ass). Are yours genuine VAG or aftermarket?
