Update time again. I decided i didnt like the number plate surround on the front as pictured below

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!

Thanks for looking

Went out to Dewent Water with a mate on sunday and took a pic with the bikes on the roof. The vRS is practical aswell!

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

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

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!

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
