All Things Mk5 > Mk5 General Area
What did you and your MKV do today?
mjmallia:
Whole airbag needs to come off to do it properly, but is possible with it on.
The badge has four legs that reach through and round the airbag skin.

Well I finally attacked the clutch and flywheel job today (Saturday) OMG how heavy is the box on the GTI 🥴 I did my wife's mk5 1.6fsi the other week and that box was a lot lighter.
The clutch was shot and the flywheel not far off, so glad I did it all. 118k miles on the original kit.
A few hundred miles of bedding in to come, but wow what a difference
mjmallia:
Been working on the steering wheel lower trim/badge to match the rest of the car. Its a rattle can job (etch primer,black paint then gloss lacquer), but has come out quite nice with a lot of time building up layers of red paint on the raised GTI text. :laugh:
Numero9:
Repainted the red stripe and got the black paint off the VW badge and GTi badge. Only a small change but makes a big difference to the look of the car. Gave the grill a real good clean too but now means got to clean the rest of the front to match it.

Good work fella. Not looking too bad there for 118K. I've seen them worn down to the rivets and surprisingly still gripping-ish!
