No idea but that pack looks really smart! How has it affected the car? Well?

Looks like a posh memory stick. Poke it into your PC's USB socket and see what it does smile

I never got a nice pack when I had mine done a couple of years ago at my local dealer frown

I went from 185 to 205 and found it helped at 60-80 speeds. Still got the dreded "staying too long in a higher gear" problem though - you know when you pull out on someone at a roundaout with your foot planted and the thing thinks about it for a second and then decides to drop a gear!

Oh, and I was going to say to remove the badge from the back. I'm assuming it makes a difference to your insurance and you haven't told your insurance company. I wouldn't advertise the fact that you've had it done. It will be very unlikely that they would check for such a modification in the event of a high cost claim - unless of course you've got that nice badge on the back.

Doesnt affect my insurance smile

If you still have the car, simply fill in the VIN number on the Polestar website and theyll send you the welcome pack smile
Will do... Cheers.

Did you speak to your insurance company then?
