I was chuffed with the price, took a bit of negotiation, but was worth it in the end. Really enjoying the car, except for the regular and expensive trips to the Shell garage. Quite different from my old diesel cars!

Having not done much to the car for a LONG time, spent the last few days trawling eBay etc.., for bargains to improve the interior of the car. So far lve purchased Chrome window/mirror/light switches, Interior LED's, most of a Boot pop kit and a Cherry Red hazard light switch. Along with a new PCV, Rev G Diverter Valve, new wing mirror case to replace the broken passengers side one, and some trim removal tools, should smarten the car right up. Pics to follow.

My Chrome Switches arrived on Saturday from AliExpress (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/OEM-VW-Chrome-auto-Headlight-switch-rearview-side-mirror-switch-Door-window-switch-for-VW-CC/868647665.html) so today I set about fitting them. I used the guide from the "How To" section on here and was done in about 15 mins.

The old knackered headlight and drivers side window switches:





And the new tidy switches.





Much better.
Did the wing mirror switch and all other mirror switches at the same time. Looks so much better now. But I now need to replace the grab handles as these are looking incredibly tatty.

Next mods will be the Cherry Red Hazard Switch when it arrives, and hopefully a new head unit at the same time.

Any and all comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Ben.

Forgot to say, I added the interior and number plate LED set last week too. Top service from Matt, ordered and dispatched the same day, I had them fitted the next day. Easy job and I managed not to blow a fuse this time! Still unsure why my footwell lights dont work, any ideas?

Thought I'd put this here as a reminder to myself.

Mods Already Fitted.

Carbon Fibre Paddle Shifters
GTI Seat Inserts
Chrome Switches
Interior LEDs
Passenger Side Wing Mirror Cover
Tinted Indicator Lenses

Purchased But Not Yet Fitted.

Rev G Diverter Valve
Rev R PCV
Cherry Red Hazard Switch
Underseat Drawer (Passenger Side Only)
Boot Pop Mod (Still Needs Coding In)
Highline Clocks (973 to work with MFSW)

TO DO

Kenwood DNX520/521 or RNS 510, buying the RNS would mean I would have to purchase a new Canbus Gateway and a Bluetooth Module and an iPod Connection, so the Kenwood h/u looks a more affordable option.
I'm also going to get (in no particular order)
Wheel Refurb (Any recommendations near to Burton/Derby/West Mids?)
Dead Pedal (http://www.creationsmotorsport.com/product-detail.php?pid=142)
Porsche Oil/Coolant Caps
New Interior Door Handles
Intake
Cam Follower

If anyone has any advice on any of these mods, please let me know.

Ben.

These arrived today, another ebay special. Going to have a 'new bits fitting day' soon when I put everything on my car at once.

Have you got a link to the darker indicators?  Or were they a one off auction?

Link to the indicators. They ship from Germany, but mine were here within 5 days.
