What about it? I know some of their stuff (twintake and twintercooler) are just gimmicks but this one looks the same as all the other kits really. I also like where it mounts because I know some people have fitment issues with aftermarket motor mounts.

I had their twintake for a short while. Got rid of it because of a surging issue it caused, but the actual quality if it seemed fine, just bad design.

I'd have to agree on forge. Couldn't pay me enough to put any of their stuff on my car.

I regret having their DV recirculating on my car atm. So many issues with it. Can’t afford to replace it atm either.

Has anyone had any luck getting the anti theft radio code for these cars? VW stealerships are trying to charge me $80 to get the code.

I took a gamble on this site and it worked for me. You do have to send personal info in case the radio is stolen.

Thanks, just gave the site a try. Will report back here if it works for me too.

I started thinking it was a scam after I paid because it took them almost 24 hours to reply to me with the code, but it did work.

I just got a response from them. Apparently there are two products, a code for just the radio and a code for the nav unit. The nav unit is more expensive and I didn't realize there was two possibilities.

Waiting for them to refund my initial purchase to buy the nav unit code.

i called VW and got it for free over the phone. you might need to show them a bill of sale which hopefully has S/N and VIn number on it. but if you have the S/N you should be fine.

VW changed their policy this past january, they won't do that anymore.

This^ or is there an alternate grill that shows the FMIC better? I did not come up with any results from google searches. Golf R front end seems to be only option.
