Hey Dan, My reversing camera looked like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/woo-For-MAGOTAN-JETTA-POLO-SUPERB-PASSAT-CC-Reversing-Rear-View-Backup-Camera-/121212913862?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item1c38da48c6 So i just chopped the wires on the back of the old light and soldered them on to the red and black wires on the camera. Only took a few seconds.

I painted all my Calipers last week but I don't like the silver so will be going blue to match my grille. Also I did the "Mufflerectomy" and welded in steel tube instead of the Middle box and silencer. Its not really made the car much louder and you can feel the slight gain in hp. I was going to take a photo of it but my welding is shocking and I'm a little embarrassed to post it.

Thanks mate.  I'll have to take another look.  I was trying to solder my two wires to the metal plates the original bulb connects to in the boot lid Haha.  Calipers are looking good by the way and I'm sure you're welding isn't that bad, as long as it's all strong it's all good :D

Just got sent a preview of my alloys, I'm getting excited now. Hopefully they will be ready tomorrow.


What do you guys think?

Also we got a bit bored last night so put a straight through side exit exhaust on my mates MX5, It's so loud its undrivable.

Aghhhhhhhh. Alloys sorted. Come to fit them and turns out my hub is 5x120 not 5x112 that the new ones were. I'm absolutely gutted. On the upside time for some X5 wheels I think.

I know mate. I'm gutted. I've never heard of it either. I think someone was having a laugh when building my car.

I've measured from edge to edge on the nut and it's just over 7 cm. 7 x 1.7012 is 120. Measured the new wheels and they are 112.
I've put my old wheels back on now otherwise I would show you with a tape.

I've measured them and they are stamped 5 x 112 so I don't think so no.

Thats seriously wierd! Unless your hubs have been replaced with the wrong pcd ones?

According to the net pcd measrements should be taken from the middle of the nuts/holes.
