Fitted the first of a few recently ordered cosmetic mini-mod's earlier. I know their not everyone's cup of tea but I must say that I quite like them!:D

 

 

Keeping a bit longer then?  :happy2:

Pics of the Lamin-X on the headlights and now on the fog lights too  :happy2:







Also, I finally did a mod I had planned years ago.

I used the 1" silver go-faster-stripe that I bought for the grill strip. I stuck the pieces onto the rear boot badge backing plate, and then I popped on the satin black boot badge.  :wink:

NI...EE...CE!

Do you have any extra for the side mirror signals?

This Lamin-x is a bit darker than your Beam film, but you can imagine;

Changed my thermostat, What a b**ch of a job, have to take alternator off, loads of other bits. But got it changed, seems to be working now after my over heating issues, fans kicking in when they should etc. Will take it for a steady drive tomorrow see how it is.

On a side note, since diconecting the battery i now have the ECP light lit. Car feels and drives fine though so may just need a code reset. Justa shame no-one in Leuchars (scotland) with VAG com   :fighting:

Can I ask how much the fog lamp was and where did you get it? The housing on mine is cracked and knackered in lots of places. Can you get the housing seperately or does it have to come with the lens too?
