Some sexy options in there.

Cheers guys, looked mint then but looks like it's lived most of it's life on a farm at the moment, awful.  :happy2:

It's absolutely covered in road grime!!!

Projector fogs? I tried fitting these to my Eddy and the plugs are different so couldn't be fitted.  :confused:

How you going to do it John?

PS Car looks great!  :happy2:

Hi TOP CAT, it is indeed the Metal Trim From The R32, (Full Dash & Door Cards + Full Metal Ash Tray)
I've also got a Red Edition 30 Sticker for the Trim above the Glove Box so it looks Factory Edition 30 :happy2: (I'll take a few pics for you).

Nath, i've done this Mod before buddy and lucky for me i chopped both parts of the connector plugs from the Donor car so simply chopped, re-soldered, heat shrank and hey presto, projectors fitted. (You can also buy an adapter kit from Kufatec). :wink:

Just Managed to find a Bluetooth kit that works with the Red Highline screen too today, so will need to fit this :scared: I'm going to be a busy boy in the New Year :laugh:

Hi

" Compared to the old K03 Candy White car, it's like night & day. "

Would you like to expand upon this as I have just recently bought my wife an O6 Gti Dsg and keep wondering if I should have bought the edition 30 version , especially if they are like night and day !

Thanks

Hi Scooba, the kit is a Skoda 1Z0 035 729 B Bluetooth Module. This works with the RNS510 and Red Highline Computer. I believe there are a few possible little niggles with the MFSW controls which need coding but as it's fully intergrated with the RNS, I'm not sure that it's a Major issue??

Mark

The "Night & Day" Comment refers to how the power delivey and drive feels compared to the Standard GTI. It's similar on pick up, (possibly a little less punchy) but once you hit approx 3000rpm, the diiference in power is phenominal. The drivability of the car is far superior, especially through twisty back roads as it just always seems to be on the power, whereas with my old K03 car, you really had to work the box more.
The ride is also a little firmer which gives a little more confidence through the twisty stuff too :happy2:
