Jakeys R36

[macdub]

Yes I have Kufatec Fiscon..not sure if its fitted aftermarket..it works with MFD and steering wheel controls very well..

Guys, can you please help me with wheels question? I am noob in relation to mods and dont understand terminology like offset, PCD etc..If I go from 18 to 19, do I have to change the tyres too? Will 19 be too stiff/firm ride? And if I go with 18, is it just simple swap? I am thinking Cadiz or gti performance pack wheels replica on my black wagon. What do u guys think?

Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

Start from the above link then you will get some ideas.

Saw a white R36 sedan with 19 GTI Adidas replicate wheels on carsales, looks nice.

for R36, 19x8 with offset around 40 will be perfect fit.

Depends what you're looking for. I was going for a flush fitment which means I'm aiming for 19x9 +33, aka Tiguan R-Line wheels. Or Phaetons which are +40 offset.

They are replicas and will fit as R36 OE wheels are 8” wide with 44 offset. These are 8" with 45 offset. You will need new tyres off course. Better to go a decent tyre place to fit the tyre and wheels. Wheel alignment is a must for R36.

Make sure you take the TPMS sensors out of the wheels and have them fitted to your new wheels too otherwise the system won't work anymore. I don't know personally but I wouldn't have thought that it would be a hard issue for a reputable tyre mob.

Congrats on the purchase! If your interested in a potential lumbar support fix check out this thread

Seat lumber support failure

FYI. I also just picked up a MY10.5 with non-functioning lumbar and torso bolster adjustment... :/ seems like it's not that uncommon. Thanks for the link, hopefully a solution coming. Did you get yours working?

[Jakeys]

I got sent the parts, haven't tackled the job though as I have absolutely no idea how to get inside the seat to where the mechanism is. It's not urgent. My bolster adjust is fine, it's just the lumbar.

Personal favourite of the LED exterior retrofit, mirror puddles! These are a panel of LEDs including replacing the housing, snerlo has a guide for it.
