Yes, the kit was a bargain at 400 EURO.
One more question: as far as I know there are 4 kinds of seat for the mk5:
- normal
- sport (Sportline, GT, GTSport)
- GTI (GTI, GTSport RLine, R32)
- Bucket (GTI, R32)
From your photo the seats seem to be Sport. Are you sure they are GTI-like? Maybe put another picture to see the whole seats!

You are right about the seats, they are like the Sport but just with a different cloth. Here in Portugal I've never seen a R-line like mine. I've only seen two R-line Plus passing by on the street, one Portuguese and one Spanish. I've never seen an open online project from one of them, so I've never seen that they have the same seats as the R32. That helps to explain the price of the more complete pack, as well. :smiley:

After a quick online search here's an example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-MK5-R32-GENUINE-CLOTH-R-LINE-BUCKET-SEATS-WITH-DOOR-CARDS-2005-2008-/261574063998?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3ce707777e

Too expensive IMO, unfortunately. I wouldn't mind having them, of course. :drool:

Finally I got time to make the pictures you've asked for. I hope they please you.

How they look on the RNS-510 screen:





Other news, yesterday I had the HEL braided front brake lines installed and the brake oil changed to ATE SL.6 DOT4.

The bolts provided with the kit weren't compatible with my R32 front calipers. I've contacted the store (www.JDL-brakes.com) where I bought the kit and they had no complaints in the last 2 years. They've sold 16 kits in that period. Weird. :confused: My mechanic went to a lathe and got the needed bolts. Problem solved. :happy2:

What I can tell you about the new oil is that the feel of the ABS pump working it's now much smoother on the brake pedal and I think I noted less tyre block when I ran some brake tests. For a progressive braking I just need to make a light pressure on the brake pedal as well, so that stayed the same as before.

I also fitted this lining part on the left rear of my Golf. I don't know why it doesn't come as standard. Do your Golfs have it? It's possible to install in either Mk5 and Mk6. Part number 1K0825206A:


It's #6 in this ETKA image:

I kept looking for more information on the underside lining part and got to this interesting topic: http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=163575.

You can see where that part I've gotten goes:


I have to check but most likely my Golf doesn't have this part from the Bluemotion as well: 1K0 501 713 D.


Getting the needed Bluemotion and Audi A3/TT 8J parts, the ideal underside lining would be something like this:

Shoduchi:
Got the door warning lights installed but instead of the GTI cluster I got a Golf Mk6 Climatronic fitted. Tomorrow I'll have to order the Jetta's center console frame.

I'll also order the rear axle lining.

The GTI cluster will get fitted next Friday. :smiley:

Called the tech that was going to fit the front fascia and the needle pointers of the GTI on my cluster and he couldn't make it tomorrow.

Searched some DIY online and got the needed courage to do it myself. Had a bit of trouble removing the needle pointers with my fingers, since I didn't have the proper tool for it and I didn't want to damage the clusters. Eventually they got out and I managed to reassemble them in their proper positions (6-7 attempts later...).

Final result:
