Early Xmas Present
« on: December 15, 2009, 07:31:21 pm »
As spotted earlier by TomB I popped into my local dealers to collect a few bits and bobs   :xmaspresent:



The full kit to install the Mk6 reversing camera  :party: :party:

Really like the detail of bevelled edge on the newer style badge



Can't wait to get it fitted (weather permitting this weekend)  :santa:

It's not too bad to fit, the biggest challenge is the slight cutting of one of the supports for the rear wiper motor  :scared:

But the dremmel will soon sort that out  :rolleye:

The cost isn't cheap but I think it will be well worth it  :santa:

How much was the kit steve??, perhaps i can ask Mrs clause for one.

She rather liked it after we had the Mk6 GTD for the day.

Boobs Vision again FTW!!  :pomppomp:

The list price was £274 inc VAT plus you need to allow for some bits of wire, heat shrink and a fuse  :santa:

Yep you can be sure of the fitting guide, plus I have agreed a repeatable discounted price with the local stealer so might be able to help people out too  :happy2:

you can get tiny camera s now that are realy clear , you could just mount one inside the top of the rear window

Nope, there is no direct phono input  :smiley:
