my german isnt what it used to be but to my mind some of our contributors could save a lot of time money and heartache by buying that rather then venturing into unknown combinations of ecus turbos etc etc - or am I missing the point completely?

That would spoil a lot of other people's fun.

Not only that, when you do it yourself, you know you are getting what you are getting. Think about how many people years ago bought '450bhp Cossie's' from adverts, and then when they finally got them on the tested, realised they were nothing more that a standard setup with a chip and actuator... :oops:

Check out the thickness of the rear spoiler - looks like another example running a large intercooler set into it.

To my mind, it looks all a bit "home-made", different wheels, lots of mods and held together with cable ties. I'm sure it will look better in the flesh, close up.
