Cheers, thanks a lot

[poslamas]

I've never been a huge fan of MKV's but this is looking very promising! Love the brown leather!

[mgpdoc]

Yes sir. We did. Waited a long. But well worth it

[kittenpuncher]

Wait did you guys get a brown leather option over there for the interior from the factory? If so, so jealous.

So time for some more maintenance work today.

First of all let me show you the SPARCO helmet box I was talking about.



Very clean and tidy - love it.

Now, an issue I noticed is that the left side of the speakers wasnt heard as well as the right one. So off went the door card again with no second thoughts to find out what was happening



HERTZ unit revealed



And also some searching behind the head-unit, reveilled a bad connection from the past



All done,, re-installed, and ready for our next case to solve - Reverse light wouldn't go on, when reversing, and what is more, my park-tronic system was not working



Changed the bulb, checked the park-tronic wiring for cuts, even changed it to be sure, bought a new OEM reverse-light switch, installed it - yet nothing. So it was time to go around the car to find out where the bad connection was . . .

No bad connection here



No bad fuse



Nothing on the passenger side too



And, what do you know, we have a winner



OEM wiring gone bad through time. Made a new perfect connection and wrapped everything with my favorite Tesa fabric tape so as to be sure in the future.

What do you know . . .



It works.

And then, some more orders

1. Carbon Fiber mirrors





2. More OEM goodies for my front end, from the stealership, like an OEM Gti front, to replace my GT one which has some defects that I dont like.

Stay tuned - many updates to follow

Got one of these in black



which is normally for carrying helmets, but can be used in the trunk of an everyday car, for transporting various things, like tools, umbrellas, i-pads, jackets, and it has anti-slip material so as to not move when driving.
Very clean, totally suggest it. :thumb:

Here is some more work I did on the car yesterday evening.

I had ordered some things from the stealership, which arrived. They were mostly new door handles, electrical window switches and a tailgate trim. Let's see how it went.

Heavily scratched door handle - not by me of course





This could not stay like this as you can tell

Started removing the door card



Wont be staying in the car



Fresh stuff



Yeap, that's more like it





And same goes for passenger side door handles and switch

Before - possibly from some kind of deodorant :censored:



During



And afterwards, all in place



I also changed this piece, which was not cheap at all - but let the interior down a bit, so had to be done



oem GTI / .:R32 Black piece



And lastly, wheels needed to be smartened up a bit . . .

So, from this



I found my Carbon Fiber OZ caps, and also bought some OEM Vag Wheel Bolt caps, and finished it off like this



Yes, much better, dont you think



Cheers everyone.

Been bored to buy one really, I like the look of this however.
If i find one i might buy it.

I havent programmed it, cause i never open it accidentally

[TheTynosaur]

This looks like a good start

you should use a glass insert for your wiper, looks way better

did you also reprogram your VAGCOM, so that water doens't accidentally comes out??

[mgpdoc]

Hello

I have recently removed them due to my running bucket seats
Was thinking of selling them on ebay along with all my other listings
However shipping is a difficult issue
But if you want them we could do something i guess
You interested in front or rear?

I also have another fill interior of an Audi A4 sport-seats in OEM platinum leather

[brandn3w]

Where and how do I get those seats?
