Picked the Milltek back box up from the powder coaters.



Out of interest why have you had it powdercoated?



As with most of the Milltek backboxes (except the newer ones), they have the tendency to hang below the bumper. I'm not sure whether this one will or won't so had it powder coated just in case so it won't stand out like a sore thumb  :happy2:

Yeah good idea. The low hanging backbox was the reason I was put off by the Milly when looking for my zorst.

Do you mean the black center grill? If so, no...I usually have it plasti-dipped, but I just peeled it off and plan to re-do it again soon:

i've not seen a guide just made it up as I went along. The base plates for the mk6 mirrors need making bigger to match the mk5 ones then (not for the faint hearted) you have to drill your door for the new mounting holes on the mk6 mirror. Wiring is the same. And a bonus is the mk5 mirrors can go back on at any time if I decide to sell etc. I'm going to colour code the covers this weekend.
