Yeah, those emblems looks good.
Do you have a pic of the milltek installed?
I just realized you’re in VA too! I’ve been seeing more and more MQB’rs in Virginia and I’m loving it.
If I’m ever cruising around in the NOVA area I’ll keep my eyes peeled for you. Love the exhaust tips and the red badges!
How are you liking the APR Plus tune?
Love it...while it‘s ’only’ the 91 octane low torque file, with the other stuff I’ve done to the car, I’m guessing 0-60 is right around 4 seconds - more than enough for my daily driving needs. Power delivery is very linear and consistent. I had the TCU done at the same time and both have really been fantastic.
Since I plan on keeping the car for a long time, I might even consider sticking with it after the warranty lapses (although more likely I’ll flash to the 93 low torque or high torque at that point - thought about an EQT Protune, but don’t really want to switch vendor ecosystems so late in the game).
I haven’t had any work done under warranty and part of my decision to go with APR Plus is that there’s a VW dealer in the area that’s an APR dealer (so I’d just take it there and let them sort out who pays for repairs). Speaking with NGP (where I’ve had most work done and who flashed the car), they’ve only had a small handful of cars come in and get work done under the APR Plus warranty. FWIW, they said the process was very user friendly and APR had covered all of the repairs without issue.
*Edit - It occurs to me that now that APR is owned by the same parent company as Dinan, there’s a reasonable chance they’re leveraging Dinan’s experience in providing warranty work on modified cars (underwriting, claims policy, etc). I’ve had good experiences with Dinan in that regard (ca. 10 years ago in my (gone) E92 335i xDrive coupe...might be worth looking at Dinan’s current reputation on warranty work).

Ribbed for pleasure?
