Numbers were mad though so I didn’t pursue it. Anyway here it is a few months later with a few more miles, looking a bit the worse for wear and going for auction!

Stage 2, 480hp Golf R in Nardo Grey for sale.https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/vw-golf-r-1-of-a-kind/22797358 Seems for sale in Meath, but on a UK plate. I'd love to get to listen to the call to the insurance company when you try get a quote on it.

A punchy little car to start with but now serious punch. DSG gear change much smoother . It’s no Gti nor does it aspires to be but as a glorified Derv it is a winner with this remap. Not cheap but worth every cent imo and I have driven lots of motors in my day. Did a 160km round trip today from B roads to motorways and 46mpg with no horses spared .
