Uploaded the PocketGPS speed camera database to the car via Car-Net. Had to do the 'Memory Manager' thing twice but other than that it worked great, custom icons and all.

Looks very shiny and cared for Jim_mk7.5 :smiley: great reflections. The black badgeskins look smart, but I prefer the red.

It's had a coat of Polish Angel Master Sealant  :cool:

I do like red, but IMO it like up-badging putting them on a non PP GTI and I think the gloss black goes well with black grills and rear spoiler trim which works with the grey. More of a subtle look which is what I wanted.

Ahh, sorry, I wrongly assumed yours was a PP, in that case then, they do look better than the standard ones :smiley:

Fitted a new dash-cam as the Garmin one died on me got the Thinkware F770 now.


Hmmm, been toying about getting one of these....

How was the fitment and any chance of some exterior pics?  Any chance of a mini-review?

Ah yes I see! Yeah, if I'd got a PP then I would leave them red for sure..  :smiley:

Decided to get the PedalBox+ after reading peoples feedback (used forum discount code, thx) and got it fitted earlier today, I definitely benefitted from previous forum feedback and Booth11 excellent pictorial fitting guide I found was big help  :wink:.....got it fitted in 10 mins and programmed ready to try out on the road tomorrow....although other more important diy type stuff is possibly planned!  :whistle:

Think I'll probably look for something of a rubber liner/sheet to pop in storage box just to stop any annoying rattles

I just stick a microfiber cloth on top of mine, which I use to dust the interior with.

Don't forget to notify your insurers, shouldn't cost you anything but best to be upfront with any modification
