Your RCD510 is not CHINESE COPY, it just for vw Asian market.. it shows nothing on the radio, because it doesn't have RDS.  I am using at the moment the same unit, just mine with USB and RVC capability, because there are 3 diff version. Simple, with usb and with usb and rvc. It's very good thing, for right price.

Fitted this over last few days. GTI lower grilles






Next plan is to get the upper centre grille painted to match the car. It looks tired & faded.

Slated lower grills with your slated top grill looks better IMO.

Car looks great other than that dude. Get xenon's

So I've not really done much with the car recently other than  Full service, had the front discs & pads done few weeks ago, MOT is a month away.

   Had a bit Orange tint so fitted it to front fogs today.


Decided I had enough of front end so primed and Matt black sprayed the 3 lowers grilles then fitted them back on.

Haven't done anything for a while,  bored with my matt black wheels so bought these in 17".  Just need to get them fitted when I'm back from holiday.
