What have you done to your 8V today?

[SevenW]

Managed to fit the puddle lights on my passenger rear door. My 1.8T Saloon doesn't have the rear door module, it took me a good 45 mins trying to figure where the door lock mech connector was, I thought I was missing a load of wiring.
Anyway took me 2hrs to wire this door up, hopefully the last one will be a breeze.

Washed it! Then applied Meguiar's Ultimate spray wax, once again using Meg's NXT QD as a rinse aid. Quite impressed with the gloss from this!

Personally think the centre cap needs to be black, would look cleaner and not as busy.

Cleaned the car and took it out for a drive after fitting the CTS turbo inlet pipe thing yesterday..

Coupled with the snowgrate removal, ITG panel filter and VCDS exhaust flap mod it's drives considerably different from stock.. B000St is made from very low down the Rev range and the noise it makes is amazing!! Couldn't help myself from going thru a tunnel earlier on and changing down to hear the scream as I accelerated off burping and farting whilst changing gear!!

Happy with these mods

[zippster]

new Domed numberplates arrived today so stuck them on with LOTS of double sided tape at lunchtime (rear i layered the middle to get and even stick across the back..

 

[C1j2w3f4]

Plastidipped the front chrome surround to go with the newly carbon fibre wrapped mirrors.

 

[QuiQue]

I've just fitted both OEM LED vanity mirror lights.
Now I want to retrofit both front and rear light domes to the LED version with reading Maps lights. Does anybody know if both types of dome share the connectors?

Best regards,

QuiQue

Looks good, did you take it off to do? What did you use and where from?

Plastidip! Brilliant stuff, about £10 per can on Amazon. There's loads of videos on YouTube which help with the method. I masked it all off completely and left it on, then the overstay just peels off nice and simply!

At least you had something to read while the paint dried....
Great job C1...

 

[RS3 S.]

Yip....I bought the VCDS & Cable for my TT when I was hooking up the aftermarket Rear View Camera....works a treat on the 8V ....I also enabled the oil temp to be shown on the DIS other than just the LapTimer.....looking to see what else I can do without breaking it

Also have the full software for BMW/Mini....I enabled loads of options that you need to pay for on that as well.

...........thanks Rob. I've had the oil temp gauge enabled with the VCDS etc,will I need to go back into VCDS & go through the settings you have posted to get it in the DIS or is it possible to do it with the MFSW buttons?. Thanks again Rob.

I wish it was something exciting but alas no. Dad taxi and it will be parent taxi tonight!

Thanks pburv

Had some carbon fibre vinyl left.. so thought have a go at the spoiler..

Not sure what I think yet! I think I like it.. don't want it looking 'chavvy', but I think it just compliments the mirrors nicely and helps differentiate it slightly from the crowd of standard a3s. Thoughts? Keep or remove?

 

[Scottyg]

I like that. As you say, goes with the mirrors.

 

[Scottyg]

Did you take the mirrors off to wrap? Wrapped a few things on other cars whilst on it but think the mirrors may be to fiddly?

Looks really good that! Cracking job with the wrap itself too, by the looks of it, good work!

Looks ok to me...

Looks like you might as well do the chrome strips around the windows to finish the look...

Sealed my wheels today ️

And got my buddy to do the final inspection

A pretty decent 2 1/2 hour clean today ready for VAG Tuner Live on Sunday.

Love Daytona in this light ......

I took them off mate! Did attempt to do one on the car, and although it made things easier with not having to hold it, it failed miserably when it came to cutting the excess around the edge. much easier off to get it right round the edges.

Cheers for the comments guys!
