Cheers guys, looked mint then but looks like it's lived most of it's life on a farm at the moment, awful. :happy2:
It's absolutely covered in road grime!!!

Congratulations. :santa:
What is this mod. R32 Engine Turned Trim
-
Having seen this in the flesh I can say well done! John, guess snow yesterday caused problems. Want to re-arrange this week?
-
Car looks very tasty! :happy2:
-
Hi Dom sorry about yesterday bud, snow caused a few issues! When is good for you?

Congratulations. :santa:
What is this mod. R32 Engine Turned Trim
Presume it's the R32 chrome trim for the dash and doorcards?
-
Projector fogs? I tried fitting these to my Eddy and the plugs are different so couldn't be fitted. :confused:
How you going to do it John?
PS Car looks great! :happy2:

Hi TOP CAT, it is indeed the Metal Trim From The R32, (Full Dash & Door Cards + Full Metal Ash Tray)
I've also got a Red Edition 30 Sticker for the Trim above the Glove Box so it looks Factory Edition 30 :happy2: (I'll take a few pics for you).
Nath, i've done this Mod before buddy and lucky for me i chopped both parts of the connector plugs from the Donor car so simply chopped, re-soldered, heat shrank and hey presto, projectors fitted. (You can also buy an adapter kit from Kufatec). :wink:
Just Managed to find a Bluetooth kit that works with the Red Highline screen too today, so will need to fit this :scared: I'm going to be a busy boy in the New Year :laugh:

Hi
" Compared to the old K03 Candy White car, it's like night & day. "
Would you like to expand upon this as I have just recently bought my wife an O6 Gti Dsg and keep wondering if I should have bought the edition 30 version , especially if they are like night and day !
Thanks

Hi Scooba, the kit is a Skoda 1Z0 035 729 B Bluetooth Module. This works with the RNS510 and Red Highline Computer. I believe there are a few possible little niggles with the MFSW controls which need coding but as it's fully intergrated with the RNS, I'm not sure that it's a Major issue??

The "Night & Day" Comment refers to how the power delivey and drive feels compared to the Standard GTI. It's similar on pick up, (possibly a little less punchy) but once you hit approx 3000rpm, the diiference in power is phenominal. The drivability of the car is far superior, especially through twisty back roads as it just always seems to be on the power, whereas with my old K03 car, you really had to work the box more.
The ride is also a little firmer which gives a little more confidence through the twisty stuff too :happy2:

Hi Guys
Few "Bad Iphone" shots or the Engine Spun / Turned R32 Trim Fitted + the Version C RNS510 :happy2:

Hope you like them :smiley:
Will take a couple more tomorrow of the CC Light & Window Switches, Projector Fogs & Even Stevens Rear Fog Light Mod :wink:

Thanks for the reply , much appreciated .
I'm left wondering whether I should have bought an Edition 30 now , or whether a mildy tuned & tweeked Gti will drive
similar to the standard spec 30.
What are everyones thoughts.
I have started collecting the following components but have had nothing fitted as yet.
Oem revised DV valve
HTTP internals from PDT plus revised cam follower
Miltek downpipe and sports cat from PDT group buywith torque insert
To get :
Ap 20 mm lowering springs
Forge Twin take
Forge Twintercooler or other upgraded intercooler
WALK
Arbs's front and rear
10mm spacers front and back
R32 brakes front and back or other
Thats about it really , but would be interested to hear if I should add any more mods to the list or save them for an edition 30.
Thanks Mark
Maybe start your own thread for these question's. This is someone's ride thread. :wink: :happy2:

A Couple more pics of the CC Light & Window / Wing Mirror Switches Now Fitted :happy2:
When In The Auto Position I'm Pretty Sure That It Now Lights Up With Different Colours To The Old One? Looks Better IMHO :wink:

The Brushed Ali Tips On The Window Switches Look Much Better & The Wing Mirror Knob Matches The RNS Perfectly

Very neat touches G60 :happy2:
I think the chrome headlight switches look and feel so much more robust than the darker plastic ones.
Haven't got the mirror one yet though, you just reminded me of that!
-
Nice touches! :happy2:
How easy are the switches to do as I've had some sat in the garage for a few months now! :laugh:
-
Cheers guys :happy2:
Nath
They're simple to fit, the hardest part is popping the doorcards off as they can be a real pain in the :booty: sometimes.
Then it's a case of unplugging the connectors and pushing the switches out. :wink:
The headlight switch is simple, set the knob in the off position, push the switch in and turn to the right until it stops, as this closes the locking pins at the rear of the switch. Then pull the switch unit out, disconnect the plug and reverse the steps for the new one.
-
Looking good :happy2:
-
Love the motor, mate. Interior is a bit hit'n'miss IMO but ETTO.
-
Hi Dom, cheers bud glad you liked the pics. I can pop over tonight after work say 19:00hrs if that's ok?

That's the beauty of modding bud, my personal touches may not be to everyones taste.
I think it looks Unique for the Eddy as I haven't seen it done before.
Looks better in the flesh too :wink:

you don't need the doorcards off to do it :confused:
just pop off the plastic they sit in.

Not with mine, once the plastic grab handle covers were removed there wasn't enough room to get to the switches to push them out :surprised:

Completely agree - I think everything seems to work except the ashtray bit - looks a bit too OTT in terms of bling for my liking but ETTO.
