So off it came! Then decided to carbon vinyl the bumper plate holder as i had some lying around.
How it looked
Back on the bumper
I also had a 5 litre washer bottle that i sourced for doing the headlight washer conversion. I sold the loom and washer jets a while back as i couldnt be bothered to do it for a small pointless gain. However the new bottle replaces the 1 litre bottle which im filling up once a fortnight, so shouldn't be filling it up as many times!

Used a bit of lamin-x i had left to blend the fogs in with the black surrounds.

#264: Re: Project vRS Update pg18 Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Thu Nov 10, 2011 4:53 pm ---- A small update! FINALLY got round to getting rid of the crappy "rs" stick on thing! (was on when i bought it)
What a pain in the backside as it was stuck on with sikaflex but its all good in the end
Before (old pic but on the top of the windscreen)
After (much better!)
Also had a smashed mirror on the passenger side so have replaced them with Golf mk4 blue tinted glass
#265: Re: Project vRS Update pg18 Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 5:58 pm ---- Had a productive weekend really! I've decided on moving the boost gauge and adding a volt and oil temp gauge. So I've got a new a pillar trim in now and wired the gauges into above the stereo using a single din gauge holder. They're a little brighter than the rest of the instruments but I'm waiting for some tint film for them.
The oil temp isn't wired into a sensor yet as I'm getting an oil and filter change tomorrow then putting the new sump plug and temp sensor in. I'll be using this if anyone's interested!
#266: Re: Project vRS Update pg18 Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:06 pm ---- A little follow up from the dial refitting as i decided on the other way round in the end!
Pic of the temp sensor in the sump with a waterproof connector
Next up the loom with the other end of the waterproof connector on, with loom tape to tidy it up
Removed the wiper mech to gain access to the bonnet release cable grommet
Pic to show where its going through
Loom through into cabin and taped up
A video of it all installed and set up so they glow white in the day and green to match the dash when side/headlights are on
