Wing mirrors with puddle lights? They were off ebay.

Back to basics too:

Yeah it does it improve it no end. If you have a 2.0 tdi you only need some carriers to convert your existing calipers. Iv got some r32 fronts to go on at some point

Will be doing this upgrade soon as I need to replace disks and pads. Standard brakes on a remapped jetta are rather shocking to be honest.

Forgot iv not updated this. So stickerbomb is gone....




My phone makes it look purple but its black!

Also fitted my battery box



Finally made a start on these today, relatively straight forward if you take your time.



And also washed it



The collinite is holding up incredibly well but its desperate to be stripped all back, de-tarred etc and re-waxed

Heater knobs :-). No, my front arch liners have been cut out slightly around the wing edges but that's about it. so there's now a gap of about an inch between the wing and the arch if that makes sense, but they're all like that from when they were flared any way.

Also, how did the front outer heater vent trim bits comes out? do they just pull off?!

The outer vents ping out just using a trim tool. I think its easiest to lever them from the top and they come out as one full piece. Takes 10secs max!
