.....you can quite often be wanting a different gear in D but so far I have not found S to have you out of the sweet spot.

What colour is it? My missus has the same; it white but with the sunroof they've painted to the whole roof black. Looks cool. It's going in for turbo back Milltek and remap at MRC on the 30th.
It's silver mike, looks nice with the black roof, your love it when you get it back from MRC you will get a much better kick of usable power, changes the car completely and with MRC experience with maps your's should give some good power gains, post them up when done, what do think it should make 330 ish?
I think the remap alone is good for 300-310. Add the turbo back milltek and you could be looking at about 320-330 maybe? That is assuming she has 265 to start with; the car has only done 1500 miles so probably not up to full power yet (or do cars come out of the factory with full power and it is the rest of the running gear that needs a little loosining up?).
