Mk7 R Build thread now up

[MC71]

^^^^ Yeap.

I always spend as much on my wife as I do the Red Mistress otherwise she may become suspicious. Although I'm not entirely honest with the amounts I spend. 

 

[Andy]

^^^^ WONGA FTW! 

Which reminds me that I was going to add the cost of each mod to the first page, thought it might help some peeps looking for costs of this or that etc BUT then realised that, god help me, my wife saw it I'd have to explain the discrepancy between the disclosed costs (to her) and the actual costs!!

when i am  buying some thing for my car i tell the g/f half of the actual price--not that she minds but then she wants the same

Very nice, love the red/black combo

The carbon dash, mk6 mfsw & climate controls are beautiful 

[George10]

If you're undecided on a gear stick I think the mk6 r looks cleaner dude

[MC71]

^^^^ Yeap! I've decided on the Mk6 R one, great minds think alike.  

IMHO the black/silver on the Mk6 R one will match the new dash trims a little better. Have been bidding on a few on eBay.de but I've set my budget at £100 and so far no luck!  

[George10]

They do 
I'll keep an eye out for one

[MC71]

^^^^ Thanks

The Bluetooth Carpet Cover and clips are Skoda parts (I'll amend my OP accordingly). I bought them from a local VAG dealer who sell parts for VW, Skoda and Audi.

Part numbers are......

Carpet Cover in Black 1ZO  971  813  62U
Clips 6U0 819 055

The Foam Holder was supplied by Eddie-NL along with the Bluetooth kit itself. This can also be bought from a Skoda dealer or your local TPS.

Part number......

1K0 919 737M

The Mk6 Climate Control Blender/Surround is for the Jetta IIRC and can be purchased from your local VW Dealer or TPS.

Part number is......

1K0 858 069 N 1QB

Hope that helps John!

Only just noticed your post Jake, sold now by the look of it, ho hum!  


Anywho.......

The Red Mistress's normally shiny appearance has been neglected for the last few months so it was time for a spruce up, long overdue. As I'm off pootling around the country during the week getting the next raft of mods done she needs to look her best.

After a bit of spit and polish, couple of dodgy iPhone snaps.......







Also bought some 303 Aerospace Protectant from my favourite peeps at Clean Your Car, never used this particular product before but LOADS of positive reviews/write ups can't be ignored. It goes on easily and really does make a difference.

303 Aerospace Protectant......

~~ Clicky here ~~

Half of all the plastics parts done (on the passenger side).....



Also works a treat in the engine bay and on all the rubber trims around the windows.

 

[SurreyED30]

It sold for £99 as well, no one bid on it 

Cor that aerospace stuff has worked a treat on your honeycomb bits, wouldn't mind some of that for under the bay as that my fav bit in mine ATM .

What's happening this week then
