Loving the car pal. Good work. Did you fit the inner rear arches when you changed the rear to gti? You got a gap? Does it cause a problem at speed?

Thanks

I only got the gti rear bumper fitted, didn't need to fit any additional parts.

cheers for that mate, but i don't understand, do you have a gap now between the valance and the arch liner?  The GTi valance is wider so i'd expect a gap?

Thanks

Nope, fairly easy, you will have to give it a pull to get the clips out and I think with the GTI bumper its only 2 screws rather than 4. Someone will correct me if am wrong  :happy2:

Hi
Is the steering wheel a straight swap or does it need coding?
Do the buttons work with the stereo?
I'm also in Hudds - who can fit 1 local?

cheers

Depends which steering module you have. Yes the buttons work with the stereo, Darren is the man from Leeds who fitted the steering wheel and coded it to work.

I like both  :happy2:

Bet the A4 will be a lovely cruiser and nearly bought an R26 myself. Looks good. Meant to be a riot, much like the smaller 'clutter' everyone's dipping into of late :smiley:
