Bit worried it might sound pap but anything is an improvement over standard!

I spent half the day trying to source these. Specifically a gray grey one.
They were released by Volkswagen USA in 2010 as part of their 'Punch Dub' promotion.

Still no luck.

Went camping over the weekend in Devon and the sooty pulled the trailer tent really well.


Visited a model village and found this (I know its MK 6)

It looks abandoned to me! Also Starsky & Hutch in the background LOL

Also this arrived at work last week from skard on here, got round to fitting it tonight. Just waiting for the new sensor cover from VW.

Fitted my rear view camera today. Was quite a challenge working in the heat!




Sent From My Samsung S3

Looks great! Badge or bumper camera? Iv got my bumper one to fit soon

Badge. I think bumper one might be a bit harder especially routing the cables in the bumper and cutting the hole. But its interesting to see it be done.

I was going to do the bumper path but found the badge cheap on ebay.

Look forward to seeing your final result mate  :happy2:
