Thanks chaps!

@ PMOKY, yeh did the boot LED too. I think the puddle lights took me about half an hour for both. But then again I have had MK5 door mirrors apart before so wasn't to worried about giving it a good ol tug!  :laugh:

ST2 next!  :wink:

Where did you get the LED's for the number plate and puddle lights?  Might give it a go.

You got Stage2 sorted yet?  I'm in the process of getting mine sorted too  :happy2:

I tried two different types of canbus LED's but they still threw up errors. It depends on which MY your R is but I fitted some extra in line resistors and they worked! The puddle LED's can be any W5W LED, no canbus needed on those!  :happy2:

No ST2 not sorted as yet. Next week maybe? Just waiting on the exhaust!

Son it's the no plate which throws the codes.  I'll check eBay - bound to be some on there.

Check the recent purchases thread - took delivery of a BCS downpipe and cat today  :happy2: what you looking at ?

Matching to the standard back end for now - no real gains so that can wait.

The restriction being the downpipe/cat this does change the tone slightly I've heard, build and quality looks spot on.

I've done the flapper mod on the standard exhaust for now and she does make a great noise above 2500rpm!

Did the flapper mod last week. Noticeably louder on idle when the exhaust is hot.
