Installed centre arm rest , quite easy a few screws but a bit fidly need to take centre console apart to slide cover under handbrake .and fit vents . Pleased I attempted this myself and saved money for a  garage to fit.
I have red snap on covers , when taking off noticed my seats full of dust and dirt , anyone recommend a good seat cleaner for standard Gti cloth trim ? Thanks.
Next mission fit 18 monzas raise to standard height then remove 18 alphards ready to courier to new owner

Bought a brand new steering rack and got my wheel alignment and tracking re-done when it was fitted, the best purchase for the mk5 so far  :happy2: :drinking:

ive just fitted my arm rest ...the only thing I struggled with was taking off the center bit ...it seemed like it wouldn't go past the handbrake but it did in the end ...I took it off to fit air pipe for rear vents ...I got new one only £8 and screws were £0.10 all from tps

Yesterday (my birthday) the weather was very crisp and sunny so I went for a walk on the beach with my daughter and then we went for a very spirited drive. Fortunately she is used to my driving fast and trusts me.
