What did you and your MKV do today?

[ROH ECHT]

My mirror covers went from this


To this last night

Now need to decide on what to do with the side repeater on the mirror. Wrap or spray smokey stuff

A small 7"x8"sheet of Lamin-x will cover the pair twice if needed. I divide and cut one sheet into four pieces, forget which way(I think so you have 4 smaller sheets 2"x7"), and you're left with a pair to hang on to or cover the front side markers with.

Get some Lamin-x

....Why? What's wrong with clear indicators? Isn't their visibility stronger when left OEM clear?

Yes, the visibility is a lot stronger with the OEM clear ones. I fitted the In-Pro smoked repeaters and asked a friend who is an MOT tester to have a look at them, he saiid that they are ok but are dull. I've since added LED's to the repeaters and the light is back to (if not better) than the OEM light output.

Before



After

....That looks like a great solution, especially if the light output is actually stronger.

How easy was this to do and what sort of cost, please?  - Separate thread in the How-To section?

Spent all day cleaning the car. Just started raining as I was buffing off the last coat of Tripple!

Paid R Tech yet another visit, got the TiV mapping done (already have Stage 1.5 with them), the car accelerates much smoother now, bloody well worth the 180 mile round trip in my eyes! :-D
Next WMi! :-P

They are wrapped with this:

You need to be patient at fitting, heating and stretching, just a quick fix instead of either buying new or painting existing.
I also bought some matt black wrap from them as i might change the interior.
There was a black pair ing the for sale threads somewhere, they might be gone now tho.
I hope this helps Paul

Never would've guessed it to be a wrap..

[Stanipkiss]

Never would've guessed it to be a wrap..

Thank ROH 

I had a look at ECS and the Lamin-X is $9 but postage is $56 Ha Ha
Shame i don't know anyone in the USA.
I have considered wrapping and leaving a slit for the led's

No shame in that. What would be shameful would be not putting VW logos on them...
