This arrived in the week.


Thought I would also wrap my dash trims and fit the switch. Old switch on top to compare.
Result and I made sure the keys were NO where near the ignition whilst unplugging the airbag light thing.


I want to try and wrap the RCD500 to match but didn't have much luck getting the facia off so left it.

Got a new passenger side CV joint fitted today. The old one wasn't so broken, but it was on it's way out.

Yeah its a 2.0TDI.

The whole kit (bumper and exhaust) is an in fact an ebay special, I looked for a genuine bumper but it appears nobody bought a Graphite Blue R32 and if they did they certainly don't intend to part with the bumper haha.  I will eventually upgrade the exhaust but at the moment its just performing the same as it did with the standard exhaust on. 

Given where I sourced the parts from and the price, I'm pretty happy with the results, the guy who sprayed and fitted it for me didn't encounter any serious difficulties and said it didn't need any trimming so all round it looks like a decent product for the price, I would have preffered a genuine bumper and a miltek  (or equivalent) exhaust but the budget wont allow it at the moment, especially as I just did the Cam belt and I want new alloys/tyres
