Only problem was the GOLD wheels!

The gold wheels lasted about 3 days.
I like the Le Mans but I just think the Rotors look a bit more modern, plus they're way easier to clean!
......Said goodbye to the golf.

Decided to black the front grill, made a massive difference.

To start with I liked it but I wasn't happy with the finish so decided to go for an RS style grill.

Much happier with the grill.
Just contemplating if i want to go honeycomb spotlight grills and front splitter.
Plenty more updates to come.

Next I decided to update the awful steering wheel and shifter.
Didn't have the balls to mod the selector to a front facing one yet but maybe in the future.

The RS4 wheels looks and feels amazing and the perforated leather gear selector match up quite nicely.
Other interior mods I'll be doing in the near future will be B8.5 metal pedals and gloss black speedo surround conversion.
Eventually I'll look to install an android auto MMI screen too.

Where did you get the gloss back panel from? I really need to do mine as it looks a lot more modern

I heard TPS sell them new for around £300 or there's ebay. Black ones are pretty rare and usually pricey otherwise you can always spray a silver one black yourself.

The base pn is 8k2857185 but then the end letters vary depending on MMI size, panel colour and year it was made. The only differences are silver or black which you can see, and Low or High MMI which is stated on a white sticker fitted to each panel. Low being a 6.5inch MMI and high being a 7inch MMI. Hope that helps.
