Did some more cool things today  :signLOL:

Fitted the S3 jacking points to the car as it will be useful considering I do all my own work

Arranged my RNS510...hopefully it will come at the weekend  :happy2:



And finally, repaired my drivers bolster which had cracked:

It used to look like this (notice the wear on the bolster)....



And now it looks like this....



Im rather pleased with the finish. Its very hard to tell I have recoated the finish at all

 :innocent:

Swapped the bootlight for an LED one earlier on, and put the 4300k D2S bulbs back in as the 6000k's had a reduced light output that I wasnt overly impressed with to be honest

Going to recoat the leather again later if I get time with a slightly lighter coating to blend it in better

And in other news, TBE milltek coming soon  :signLOL: :grin:

Haha very true steve, but the tips are too different...it'd be noticed  :signLOL:

Managed to blow the interior light fuse earlier. Bizarrely, the fuse number for it isnt listed in the manual so i had to take every fuse out to work out which one had blown!

New CAN Gateway and Milltek TBE purchased

Going to fit the CAN Gateway on the weekend, though I am slightly concerned I have received a 7N0 and not a 1K0 gateway, but both the seller and ETKA say it works in a Golf so we will see!

As for the milltek, theres some minor issues that need resolving under warranty, but one that is sorted, itll be all good :happy2:

CAN Gateway fitted...hasnt actually made any noticable difference apart from the fact I can now get the OPS system working when I get a chance. Amusingly, VCDS now thinks my car is a Sharan

Picking up the milltek downpipe at some point this week, so that'll be on at the weekend

In other news, ordered another EDITION 30 badge for the front grille as it looks quite good from what I have seen  :smiley:
