Has it got a vRS logo on it?
sadly not! lol its got a white circle with a green medical cross on it which will be ripped off!
#79: Re: Project vRS Update pg6 Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 9:58 am ---- Another small update x2!
Got hold of a mk5 golf auto dimming rear view mirror so thatll be put in tomorrow morning (fitted pics then!)
And at the moment the boot opens via the remote fob but only pops open about an inch off the latch so ive got some springs that'll fit the gas struts when the boot is closed and have enough sprung weight in them to push the boot open enough to allow the struts take over and full open it automatically
Again pics and video when done tomorrow!

Like you lose control of taking it up carefully or whatever if your up against a wall/another car etc.
That's the only thing anyway, I really like the car, have been tempted to at least try diesel power at some point

i did think about this but i rarely reverse into a space and id be concious about where and when id open the boot anyway.I also usually only open the boot when im by it anyway so i reckon itll be ok.Thanks for pointing it out though.
#84: Re: Project vRS Update pg6 Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 2:47 pm ---- Won't they also make it harder to shut?
hopefully not but we will see.The boot is fairly weighty so i cant see them making a massive difference to be honest though.
And the springs are only mediums so they wont give massive resistance.
#86: Re: Project vRS Update pg6 Author: Iain, Location: Aberdeen, ScotlandPosted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 2:54 pm ---- Cool, look forward to seeing a video if you take one

First up is a dash drinks holder that retracts into the side of the stereo.Just waiting for it to arrive!
