Shoduchi:
Small update, the cherry red hazard switch was in the mailbox when I arrived home. Got my tools and fitted it right away. No picture because it was already too dark, but it's nothing that impressive either. Just another small bit done.
I'm still waiting for a lot of parts:
-LED interior set from the USA: Customs clearance processing complete last Friday.
-42 Draft Designs shifter bushing set: arrived at Chicago today. 22 € cheaper to buy directly from 42 DD compared to AwesomeGTI. Should be import tax free because it only cost 35 $.
-OEM short shifter (8J0711046D) from VW: around 2-3 weeks it seems since I'm the first in Portugal to order this part (PN wasn't available ("open") here still).
-Metal side bracket (1J0711203L) from VW: already available.
-Other small bits to fit in the side bracket (1J0711761C; 1J0711550; N90815903) from VW: already available.
-Shifter lubricant (G00045002) from VW: next week or so.
That's all for now. :smiley:

Picked up the LED from deAutoKey (http://deautokey.com/product/14pc-complete-interior-license-plate-led-kit-error-free-fits-06-08-volkswagen-mk5-golf-gti) today from the Post Office. Managed to fit them by following the USP Motorsport DIY video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5rBV3EmlYU, except the front dome lights.
I couldn't manage to fit the LED like they did in the video, so I had to remove the whole interior front light part and fit the LED from above. Followed the VW manual: http://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/golf-mk5/vehicle_electrics/electrical_system/lights_lamps_switches_inside_anti-theft_system/lights_and_switches_in_roof_trim/front_interior_light_and_reading_light_%28vehicles_with_no_sliding_sunroof%29/removing_and_installing_front_interior_light_and_reading_light/.
This kit was personalized to my needs since I didn't need the license plate lights (already have the OEM LED lights) but needed instead another 2 footwell lights. They sent those that I asked and extra 2 footwell lights, 2 dome lights and one vanity light festoon. Adding the price of the kit, the shipping cost and the Customs tax these LED were very expensive. On their behalf they have lifetime warranty and, as advertised fade out like the original lights.
Merry Christmas and happy new year all! :smiley:

Hi,
I got this aftermarket rear valance: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261346495307.
Easier to fit and much cheaper than the R32's rear valance. OEM quality is better but it's double the price. :smiley:
