Hi Jakey, where did you get the wheel centre caps from? Mine have seen better days too. I also have a dead LED in my right taillight, but it's not really noticeable and I can live with that.Originally Posted by Jakeys
Big parts order came in today. Some trims that have snapped clips, new centre caps for the wheels as the paint is chipped on a few of mine, a new rear tail light to fix a very common dead indicator LED issue on Passats of this era, and new seat bases for both front seats to replace the bolsters that are always ruined on R36's because it's a bit of a stupid design by VW. I priced up a new grille as well as there is a little bit of finish delamination on the top the black slat of my grille, but it was over $900 and I'm not ready to commit that much to fix that problem just yet. I might keep an eye out for a better condition grille from a wreck. I'm trying to be sensible, I want the car to look awesome but it is a 165,000km daily driver, I have to draw the line somewhere!

Cars245 is the website, I would suggest joining and searching the Australian R36 Owners Group on Facebook for Cars245, been some posts about it with good info. But short version sign up, find the part number for the part you need, order, ask them to change payment method to PayPal if you don't want to do an international wire. Pretty painless.

Anyway I've tried:for ages and can't get a pic up - extremely difficult.
Looking forward to putting my plates on my immaculate R36

wow $900 for a grille, i can't imagine what the dealers would be asking here.

Nice plates! I have RRR036 for TAS!
To add a photo you'll want to click the "Insert Image" icon.
Then Click from computer.
Once you've done this, you'll see the option to "Browse" as per below.
This part will depend on if you're on a Windows PC, Mac, iPhone/iPad or Android device. But you should be prompted to select your photo somehow and "select" it or similar.
The last step is to hit "upload file(s)" as I've underlined here. It's a bit easy to overlook. You can only upload one file at a time, despite it saying "File(s)" as well.
Hope that helps.

What was involved in getting the crackle map? I've been waiting for something like that for the last 6 years!

Good tips, also, he should be making a new thread.
I had it done as part of my ECU/TCU tune. Was a free add-on basically done as part of the ECU.
