Just wondering where you got the Audi A3 Sline 8V Gear-knob and gaiter, can't find the exact same one as you. Was it genuine?

Hi , Thanks ..I got mine off eBay a guy was selling a brand new genuine one. New ones come up for sale from time to time their are usually a few used About under sline 8v gear-knob.
Hope that helps,,

Did you have to unpick the leather and fit it to the GTI plastic parts?

Hi ..glad you have found what you have been looking for ...now to fit unpick the heavy duty staples on the Audi gear surround and replace with the gti surround.

Another small update .... Decided to replace the wing mirror indicators as mine were in a poor state and also it gave me a good opportunity to strip down and give the mirror a good clean. The new indicators were from Eurowagens and i liked the clear lens over the black backing.
Old indicators ...

Also managed to find a genuine aluminium ashtray which is so much better than the plastic lid one i had in the first place .

Car is looking great, some nice choice mods too.
Mine is candy white and love the colour! Definitely the best colour they came in, used to have a black MK5, but always wanted a white one.
Personally I love the contrast between the black and white around the car, so would never body colour any plastic parts - funnily enough I'm not keen on a white ED30.
Where did you get the headlight switch from? I've ordered a set from Bold Sport, but have been waiting ages and don't think they're trading anymore? Luckily I paid through PayPal.

Are these still the same headlights you bought, as they say Xenon headlights, not "projector" or "xenon style"? Cheers.

Hi ,,,Thanks for comments I totally agree with you I always wanted a white one and my first mk5 gti was black too funny that . Anyway still not decided on the side skirts yet and in the mean time still lots of ideas .
The headlight switch + window switches + fuel switch was from a uk company on eBay Only paid £22 for the Lot and was really impressed with the quality.
The headlights in the link are the ones I brought for mine.
Also found these .......... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333398885049
