Title: Early Xmas Present
Post by: SteveP on December 15, 2009, 07:31:21 pm: As spotted earlier by TomB I popped into my local dealers to collect a few bits and bobs :xmaspresent:

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi281.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk207%2FStevep_010%2F363c50d8.jpg&hash=4cee80afdcb0d7c582a7a408c60a375a494131c0)

The full kit to install the Mk6 reversing camera :party: :party:

Really like the detail of bevelled edge on the newer style badge

awesome! :xmassmiley:

wont be an easy job to fit though will it steve? has anyone done this before to a MK5?? cool idea bet it wasnt cheap though couple of hundred??
Title: Re: Early Xmas Present
Post by: SteveP on December 15, 2009, 07:38:48 pm: It's not too bad to fit, the biggest challenge is the slight cutting of one of the supports for the rear wiper motor :scared:

But the dremmel will soon sort that out :rolleye:

The cost isn't cheap but I think it will be well worth it :santa:

Post by: Phil Mcavity on December 15, 2009, 07:39:07 pm: How much was the kit steve??, perhaps i can ask Mrs clause for one.

She rather liked it after we had the Mk6 GTD for the day.

Boobs Vision again FTW!! :pomppomp:

Title: Re: Early Xmas Present
Post by: SteveP on December 15, 2009, 07:55:52 pm: The list price was Â£274 inc VAT plus you need to allow for some bits of wire, heat shrink and a fuse :santa:

Post by: mortygttdi on December 15, 2009, 08:28:42 pm: Ive actually had a play with this on Golfmans(Scotts) Golf one of the first to do it on the mk5 and it is one of them mods that would clinch a sale if selling on... :happy2:

Its very clear and if you have the 2660 firmware it give you a wide screen view and the side bar is retractable and transparent.
