congrats on the R32, how much did it cost you, easy to haggle? a friend is keen on a VW, after having a ride in the polo... but knowing him he likes to be one better....

custom exhuast/dp or from retailer?

2.5" dump pipe installed.

pulls a little harder

sounds a little more gruff (deeper tone at lower revs).

Have not had a chance to see what happens at the top of the rev range...

really odd actually. was yours nice and smooth? this bumper paint is pretty chunky... and it leaves 'spider webbing' in the negative space. I might give it a go over with some fine sandpaper and do one more coat.

hmm sounds abit strange, the paint wasnt chunky for mine, finish is pretty smooth for the sort of paint. Ill get some pictures after dinner and show you.

I did all my painting in the sun, within probably 30min most layers where on. I put thin coat on then left it to dry for 5min then applied another coat.

edit, this was only pic that came out well at night due to flash bluring everything, but gives idea of the smoothness. Its a little more rough then the rest of my surround but only way to notice is to get down and compare it directly.
