Unlike tuning which doesn't contravene any pollution or sound complaince laws..

May have to cull that idea! Thanks for the heads up. Looks like a new set of tyres might be a better spend

You could always do a vinyl wrap, cheaper, legal, protects the paint.

Just thought I'd add my (small) little mod, which arrived over Xmas.

Not blank buttons any more! - YouTube

Big thanks to Maverick from MyGTI - his guide was quite handy getting it all to work!

Still thinking about doing this with a garage door opener. Need a round tuit to make it work

ECS Tuning Reversing Camera kit arrived yesterday - will try to fit that within the next 7 days before I go back to work.

I placed the order on 30/11.. It arrived last Monday (19/12).. So yea a little under 3 weeks for me!

Yay:

I'm having it all hooked up next week to the fog lights I got off eBay.. Also changing the headlights to Philips X-treme +100's.. Apparently the kit includes 'whiter' globes for the park lights.. I'll use those for the number plates instead

So have scrapped the idea of a cf bonnet and now thinking I might chuck some 18" from Oz racing on. Does anyone know a good place to grab them from where shipping won't be an arm and a leg?

Oz racing from performance alloys, unless u have relatives/friends in the USA who will forward to u. Otherwise someone in Italy perhaps?

Had the fog lights and CarStyle4you switch installed over the weekend.. Only issue is that they sent the ‘pushbutton’ type instead of the ‘switch’ type that I had ordered.. Anyways made it work in the end.. It looks great!

When activated the light changes from red to orange.. Pretty cool as I had thought the thing only lights up red (like the TCS button) so yeah it was a nice surprise:

Matches the orange glow of the A/C buttons.. Very OEM

The fog lights really do improve the look of the car.. They’ll definitely come in handy when the F3 gets fogged up at night..
