Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car
rex:
Just got the car back from the dealer where it received a full respray (everything was repainted except the boot lid because I wanted to make sure I get the same color :) ). I also changed the windscreen, on headlight and a fog light. The reason I did all this was because the car was affected by a lot of stone chips and other small scratches.
Not it is scratch free and it looks like brand new :love:
First, some pictures taken by a friend of mine that works at the VW Dealer:
And some of mine, from home:

Still waiting to buy the RNS 510 or RCD 510 (with videoin) and install the rear view camera.
Till that happens, I changed the dash cam. I previously had a Mio dash cam but it was very big and I could not use it and the interior mirror.
So I bought a Garmin Dash Cam 65W and below is the installation. I wanted to hide all wires and I routed the wires to the A pillar, behind the glove compartment and below the ashtray where I've added another 12V socket.
Here is the finished result:
I have to say that I LOVE working in my garage! I have plenty of space to open the doors to the maximum and the view is not that bad, either:
Cheers!

Looks like new again! :happy2:
Great work on the dash cam. It's pretty stealth now. :smiley:

Ever since I bought the Porsche Cayman, the Golf has been a little bit neglected, but not forgotten :wink:.
Today, I managed to get the car one step closer to my liking, I installed the Rear View Camera and the RNS 510 :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :pomppomp:.
A few thoughts about this:
- I was really happy with the RCD 510 I previously had, but since I needed the video output, I decided to go for the RNS 510 (managed to find a late 2016 unit) and I have to say I am quite impressed... I love the way the navigation looks with the "Premium" skin and how fast it is.
- The drain tube provided in the kit was 3 cm too short, so I used another tube.
- In the install, you pretty much have to disassemble the whole car, but I was helped by a friend who's done tens of camera installs, so we were all done in about 4 hours).
A big THANK YOU to @SteveP for this DIY
I am very, very happy with the results!
There are very few items still on the mod list:
- air quality sensor install
- GTI black headliner
- maybe a 2.0 TFSI engine (this will require more mods, like brakes, LSD, etc).
