I wouldn't be painting the chrome. I'd look at plasti-dip or wrapping it so that it's reversible when you go to sell it.

I was thinking this morning that it would look a lot better with a brushed aluminum finish rather than the chrome, or just continue the piano black stuff on the chrome bits. Chrome always looks cheap to me. Particularly on the old C63 AMG's.Originally Posted by tigger73
On to tuning questions. Who hear said they had a JB1. How easy was it to install and what is your general review/feel of it all?

That would be me. I've done about 1800k's with it installed. The car performs really well. The feel with gentle throttle is the same without the JB1. With moderate to heavy throttle, the engine pulls harder for longer in each gear. I don't have any special map on mine but I believe you can have one that makes the car behave more aggressively.I was thinking this morning that it would look a lot better with a brushed aluminum finish rather than the chrome, or just continue the piano black stuff on the chrome bits.

As for fitting, I had mine done at Hills Eurohaus in Castle Hill. I don't think it would be difficult for someone to fit with some amount of technical ability!

Hi guys,
Just wondering, the two bars that people got on the 206TSI - are they genuine VW tow bars? I ordered mine, but their system was down, so I got a hand filled in contract (which I signed). The two bar is listed under "geniune accessories", but on the updated contracted (typed values, etc.), it's listed the two bar under "non-genuine dealer fitted accessories".

Does anyone else notice that the Pirelli P7's that come on the car are noisy?

They are very noisy and annoying... They have been discontinued in Australia in favour to the Pirelli Dragon.
When I was at the showroom, Golf R and GTI had P Zero or Potenza... Not sure why they put these awful tyres on the Passat R (in my case Skoda Superb 206). Will replace them as soon as I can.

Mine is genuine as far as I can tell was fitted at dealer

If the new VW Arteon was coming out abit earlier i think I would have held off on the 206 sedan. I think its gonna be quite nice with head up display and the new 8 spd DSG box

Jammed to phone up into the bumper to see properly here is the part looks like it's not a VW part but from what I saw of the euro tow bars they have auto drop down ones so maybe there isn't a "factory" one in Aus it's dealers fitting a local component ?
