Re: Bluefin Superchips and Coil-packs

Hi mate, ive been running a remap on mine for a while now with no issues. its revo though. I changed my spark plugs the other day and getting the coil packs out is a little tricky, you can get a proper tool off ebay for doing it. so as far as removing them, its not too difficult :)

Re: My Rocco- New Addition

if its an everyday car, go for the eibach pro springs, lowers 25-30 mm. gives a nice 1 inch arch gap all round... for carbon fibre mirror covers look on parts4euro.com theres a set on there for 170 dollars (100 squid).
