Ordered myself some genuine LED taillights , booked the car in at VW to swap my ABS unit, ordered some oil along with a service kit.
Also ordered some interior plastic parts to swap and a some stuff to retrofit interior door handle lights.

So hopefully this week I will get all the last parts and bits so that in next week the car should be freshly serviced, new 3d cluster and a new MIB II unit with carplay and mirror-link :)

Pictures make them look worse than in person, but that one is on the ragged edge!  Changed just in time.

That photo reflecting the parking bay is ridiculous! You've done a nice job @Kai96

Black can look so good when it's looked after. Just don't drive it and get it dirty...

In theory though, the hard work's done. I take it you sealed it all up with a decent wax once you'd done the polishing?

I don't get on with wax's if I'm honest so I use sealant instead, I put on two coats once I was done polishing so it's all protective thankfully
