    Fitted my new tail lights last night, but as they are for LHD, I need to extend and swap the cables for rear fog and reverse lights.

    Will the Provent fit up against the firewall behind the battery? A few people have mounted catch cans there on GTI's and R's. I know the Proventil is a bigger unit but it's worth a try?? If not, then have you tried the vacant space behind the passenger side lower bumper area?

    How do you like your DNA remap sawden? I just purchased one this week (currently waiting on the revised files to come from DNA in the UK).

    Installed my Bluetooth 9wZ kit.
    Only broke 3 pins on those stupid clips plastic riveted on the back of the radio facia.
    But I have 1 screw left over !!!

    Found my Fuse removal tool inside the side panel on the Passenger side of the dash... I was wondering where it is.

    A Nice supprise was finding out my RCD510 has the 26pin Video socket so it is RVC capable ... Yay - new mod!

    YES - but you have to make a bracket.
    Here's mine:

    in preparation for future Mods...
    I killed 2 birds today by installing a Twin Power Socket unther the dash behind the fuse box (stealthy dedicated power for GPS etc)
    and
    a Switched 12 power wire for my LED's DRL and Gauges.

    Did this by adding 2 terminal wire in the fuse box, so each has a fuse.
