Looks lovely. Indium is by far the nicest colour in the current (limited) selection imo.

Yeah that’s how the Vienna leather looks now. A perforated finish on the squabs. In the R / GTD, sub in those red details with white / light grey.
MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.

Got half way through fitting one of these.

http://www.xcarlink.co.uk/product.php?productid=280&cat=2&page=1

Quite an involved install as the glovebox requires removing.  :huh:

Euro' maps installed from here.

http://www.desnav.com/europe/113-central-europe-gps-navigation-maps-for-android-windows-ce-wince-mobile.html

And all is working after faffing about with serial numbers and activation codes.... Wanted to try it out before putting everything back.  :shocked: Picked up the kit for £263 with a 20% discount from eBay and the maps cost £33 direct. Touchscreen works well with the voice directions coming through the speakers loud and clear.

Wish me luck with the reinstall.

Papa John.

Refitted my tunning because the dealer has told me I'm going to be waiting 16 or more for the Tiguan because I have decided to go with Oryx white, not sure why because It didn't make any difference when I ordered my CC in it.

The difference it makes is amazing. After going on about the difference it made my wife said she was right, I should have took a test drive in the Gold R that the salesman wanted me to try. :rolleyes:

Chased 3 scumbags off my driveway lastnight. Attempting to get into the house, presumably for the keys  :sick:
I’m sick of this now. It seems it’s just not possible to have nice things without this stress  :angry:
