The fuel economy saving is the best way to convince the missus that it's a good idea!!
Extra power and acceleration are just a bonus!!that she doesn't need to worry about.
I wouldn't say 20%
but my caddy is drinking 5.5L/100km, and it's on 18" wheels
factory figure is 6.2L/100km
I do drive a bit more highway than average though. For me, it wasn't about fuel economy... 0-100km/h in 13 seconds wasn't acceptable!
Go APR!!

she may not worry about it now but she may learn to like it
even my mother has the Oettinger upgrade in her Passat 2.0T
she's picking up her Eos on wednesday and I am pretty sure she'll be heading to APR very soon... the cops love taking pics of her cars
Go APR!!
good point!. What colour / extras is your mum getting on her eos?
she's getting the 2.0TSI White Night. The passat didn't have a DSG so this one should go pretty well in comparison
Go APR!!
The White Night looks fantastic!, she will be very happy I am sure.
Here is photo's of my baby when I picked it up after having Gtechniq applied to the paint, glass, wheels, leather and plastic trim.
This stuff is amazing!!!! but not cheep.

SO easy to clean and the treatment of the glass and what it does when it rains, WOW!!!. No need for wipers anymore.

I had this applied in Melbourne by Burg Design. It took them from 8.30am till 4.30pm to do the whole car, but is worth every cent if you ask me.

Hope you like the photo's.
that looks great. we picked up the car last night and yes it does look fantastic. It doesn't have any car care products applied to it, so thanks for those sites I'll check them out
Go APR!!

it's gone nuts - my wife-to-be (2 weeks) just bought a silver one, '07 manual. I'm going to cop it from all the guys on this forum now...
I got some pics but work bans photobucket, so I can't see what I'm posting up! I'll be sure to do that soon
Go APR!!
