Hondata'd EP3 Type R
Hi, thought I already had a thread for this, but due to work/girlfriend commitments, I bought a diesel in May. Went with with a 2012 Scirroco 140 Bluemotion. £30 Tax and a genuine 50mpg meant it was actually a sound choice financially. It was also £14 a month cheaper to insure than my Clio 1.2? Anyway, its not exactly modified, but Ive done a few things. I upgraded all the bulbs to Xenon style ones as you do. Put a private plate on and changed the VW badges to Gloss Black ones. I debadged the rest of the rear end. I bought a DTUK Tuning box, which TRANSFORMED the car. Far quicker and a decent MPG improvement (yes I know a remap would have been better). The stock ride height was laughable, I couldnt afford air ride, and my car has the Active Dampers so switching to coilovers would have meant either disabling this via a box, or buying ultra expensive ACC Coilovers, so I settled for 30mm springs which improved the aesthetics, but I do think it needs to go down a little more. I had the mirrors painted gloss black, I also attempted to get the roof wrapped Gloss Black, but thats a long story. I needed some new tyres, so I bit the bullet and bought some fairly expensive Michelin Super Sports (£144 a pop) They got delivered, and I decided I may as well fit them on some new wheels. However, the only wheels I wanted were out of budget (Vossens) for what Ive ended up paying I could have got some Replicas with budget tyres, but I think overall Im happy with the decision Ive made. I decided to get my 19" Lugano wheels refurbished in a BMW Ferrick Grey. I dropped the car off @ Wheel Maniacs and they provided me with some dashing Audi 16s haha.
I also added some 15mm Spacers, I got the call to go get them back and was astonished by the quality of the job!
I would like an R Front bumper and some TTRS Brakes, but we will have to see what the mrs says :smile:
