Good stuff! The dynablinkers look good. There seems to be regular changes to the platform coding. Kachingg and mine were only built a month or 2 apart but have slight variances in them even though they are both MY18 builds.

I had such a huge headache. Small terminology changes and not all menus were translated into English, so I had to make sense out of what the German terms meant.

I now know what licht is. Haha.

I’ll let you know how the dyna blinkers look during the day. Doesn’t look any different at night when compared to stock indicators for obvious reasons.

In the meantime.. time to take the car out for a drive!

[Kachingg]

Still think the red paddle shifters look better

Nice car glad to see someone else likes red

I like the dyna blinkers think that maybe a thing i could get for mine hmmmm

Now drive the wheels off it its a great driving car

and welcome to the alltrack club

Agreed. I couldn’t tell if the black was going to blend in, or stand out. It stands out quite badly for me. Should’ve went for the red or the silver ones!

The dyna blinker sort of works during the day time. I haven’t had the time to see it during the day today.
There’s only one thing I’d like to call out for fitting in a smoked black indicator, though.
You will not be able to see the indicator flashing from the inside of the car. (The little gap beside the mirror.)
You can see it at night, but not during the day time..

And the shade of red is so attractive. I can’t stop looking at it when I park it!

Kachingg, I got the Dyna Blinkers from Supanova. I think they’re based in VIC. They’re good fun. Too bad they don’t have clear ones..

Kachingg, I’ve got a video of the dyna blinkers at about 5PM for you to see if the visibility suits you?
It’s the first time for me seeing it during the day from the outside.

I know the slammed Alltracks create a bit of debate in the wheel thread, but here's a high rider for the more adventurous in this thread:

I've seen clear and semi smoked Dynablinks appear on Aliexpress from time to time. They both can be seen from the interior. Thinking about trying a pair out.

The smoked one are a bit dark. Although in direct sunlight they are more visible than the clear.

Agreed. But I think it looks like it stands out better than the clear linkers is because of the contrast?

I'm no genius in terms of colours though. Hehe

Kachingg, I managed to calculate my consumption.
It's about 7.65L. Had a bit of a heavy right foot every now and then.
Problem with where I'm at is I'm always under city start/stop conditions.

Done another change.
I wasn't confident in changing the globes for the fog lights, and got an understanding after reading the owner's manual. I realised I was doing it the wrong way.

I was trying to get the bulb out before disconnecting the cable.
I thought that was the order, but the design for the fog lamp is you have to remove the connector first, then you're able to unscrew the globe. Genius!

I'm not sure if my eyes are spoilt, but I think halogen's more effective?
The LEDs doesn't seem to cut it as well as the halogen, but then again, I think this is clouded by the LED headlights of the Alltrack so you don't see the difference when everything's "cool white". Having the halogens on makes it look like a huge difference as there's an obvious contrast.

Take note that you'll get error messages once you switch on the fog lights. (FYI - Kachingg)
It'll complain to check both left and right fog lights.
However, the lights will be functional. Just that you'll see an error all the time on the dash whenever you switch on the fog lamps every time you switch on the engine.

You need OBDEleven/VCDS handy.

Godamn it
Was out on friday in the rain and a p plater was looking at his phone and ran right up my arse
So pissed need a new rear bumper and he hit the exhaust as well at least he has insurance thankfully
Does not look to bad but bet its over 5k to fix
Ah well at least i can get some stonechips fixed while it in (trying hard to see a silver lining)

[Rooboy]

Ouch. Sorry to hear that Kachingg. You can bet it will be pretty exxy as the bumpers these days tend to hide the structural damage underneath.
