Oh great so I'll be looking forward to more errors warnings with my folding mirrors as I've also fitted dark lenses on and not sure if they're error free or not  :doh: :signLOL:
Lol depends on which ones you've bought for no. Plates as I have scirocco ones on mine and they're perfect  :grin:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111803742295

These are the smoked ones I got but not for that crazy price listed lol think he made a mistake on the listing, picked it up from him in person in East Ham, £25 I think I paid, guys got a lovely r32
Has a light smoke to them, wanted to kind of retain oem look, bought early this year but not totally happy with them anymore as they now look yellow and greeny bit like a fish tank that hasn't been cleaned lol

Might end up tinting them if I get time and bored
I actually bought mine off a forum member here and they're totally different to yours as these ones have a black backing donno silver in sight!. Yes seem those £132 ones  :signLOL: wondered why the hike in price but have seen many items on eBay with crazy prices  :rolleye:

I'd get some tiny film and wrap them as I can understand what you mean by the fish tank look  :signLOL:
Yeah going to tint, working on a idea to install sequential leds into indicator too so let's see what happens....
oh wow can't wait to see those  :jumping:

Yeah I'll send it out special delivery for you so you can test it on your car for quality as I'm clueless as to what I've bought and if it's any good :doh:

Just the DV housing and couple of gaskets and I'm ready to bolt it all up.

I'd recommend new as its a stretch bolt that costs about £2 from a dealer. My insert (powerflex black edition) came with a new bolt
TFSI... Revo Stage 2+... . WMI.... VCDS HEX + CAN, MPPS, VAG Commander & VAG tacho - South Wales

 :signLOL: huh what when how  :jumping:

Yes you can reuse it but as it's only £2 better to get a new one.

The subframe ones won't fit as they're slimmer than the bush mounting bolt and what I found out trying to fit a new one to my vibratechnics lower subframe bushes.

Blimey how thin are they lol
The replacement ones I got for the subframe creak are quite thick

its thicker but don't look it * in this picture as I had to use one of them with a bit and washer as I got ripped off with that vibratechnics from what I can see as the bolt would not thread more than a turn and then locked up.  :mad:

oh don't start me off  :doh: I haven't fitted leds on as I was worried about the error lights coming on and I'd rather not have to deal with that unless someone can tell me otherwise so I can go spend the last few pennies I have left  :signLOL:

Best get your wallet out.  :grin: don't think they are part of the canbus system. I have fitted them and no issue. Have seen with standard bulb so not got a comparison


Have an issue @varley can't get the leds to fit as the bulb holder is too big and gets in the way so no where to fit that out the way ???
