It has begun...

So.. No pics as yet, need to clean the damn thing and wait for a sunny day. but

White 2010 90hp 1.6tdi

Black roof Dstyle


Its had its remap done from SP Tuning which saw really good returns.
129hp and 230ft
So its very nearly a hot hatch lol.

Still to come.. Debadge the Citroen bit and leave the DS (probably remove the 3 too) maybe debadge the front bit too.
Getting the chrome grille painted black, possibly get the mirrors done in black too as well as door handles
New carpet mats inside

then will turn attention to the ICE.. mainly speaker upgrades, will have a word with my local ICE shop to see about a custom install, Something stealthy using JL Audio equipment, as its my favorite stuff.

might look at simple engine bits, not sure if a new filter and turbo upgrade would make much difference ? I dont want to ruin my MPG as i like getting 600miles to a tank lol

Ok... Potato

If you've got the cash to look at an uprated turbo then it's definitely worth the cash.

Bear in mind you'll also need a custom remap again to be able to get the full potential out of it.

Well coming from a 6.2L VXR8 its a big drop in power. So im looking at different routes that will make some power gains, the remap has made a big difference already.

going for the cosmetics for now

Well coming from a 6.2L VXR8 ...........

WAANNNTTTTT !!!!

One of my dream cars !

What made you dump it ? Fuel....insurance...
Or wasn't it "yours" as such ??

[SteveW]

Bought the VXR8 outright.. it was very much mine.
sold because of fuel. was nearly £400 a month in petrol. add the £490 roadtax and it was getting silly. insurance wasnt that bad.. that was £440
but the lower control arms on the suspension needed replacing every 10k as they are made out of chocholate, that cost around £300

added it all up one day and was like.... its finally time.
owned it from new (had 0000025 miles on clock) for 4years.

Will post pics later today
