Right, update time! Fitted some gloss black handles to the car today and the front ones now have small LED's in them that light up when unlocked.
So, handle with led fitted in the rear
Basically i drilled a hole and fed the wires through the handle and filled the hollow part with silicon to waterproof it more.
The exiting of the wire
Joined the LED wires to some more wire after feeding it through the door
Then wired them into the lower door open/puddle light connector
Handle mounted on the door
Finally a video to show what the idea and outcome is all about

Is it easy to remove the door cards & handles?
I'm thinking of colour coding the handles.

So, another update!!!
Had enough of feeling the metal inside the seat when getting in to it. So decided to sort it out!
The offending item after removal, seems its just worn through (sorry,no pics of the removal!)
The new foam base on the seat frame with the seat cover over it
The seat cover fits back on using the old hog rings which pull the cover tight and shape it to the foam
End result! Well happy!

And another update!!!!!
Got a bit bored with the black golf armrest so thought id pimp it!
So, one black armrest
Pulled the top off(without breaking any clips!!!)
One old seat cover from a lad on Briskoda
Cut it into a shape resembling the armrest
Add some iron on sticky wonder web
Get them both on the ironing board
Then get the iron nice and hot and iron it to the top of the armrest
Then use a hot glue gun to tidy up the inside
The final result
And now back in the car! Looks f*****g ace!
