First job was to get a new coolant bottle in as the one in there was just filthy :lipsrsealed: :grin:
(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh60/naveedali1/null-38.jpg)

Quick 5 min job to take old one out. Was a bit scared as first approach to the 4 mo engine.. First of many :lipsrsealed: :laugh:
(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh60/naveedali1/null-35.jpg)
Got new one in :cool:

Next was time to get a new headunit in. As the gamma unit just does not do it for me. Had my alpine in for a few days ..
(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh60/naveedali1/null-41.jpg)
I felt that the hole needs to be filled so took out the alpine and useless cubby hole and replaced with a kenwood double din unit which matches the mk4 dash lights nicely and finishes it off :cool:

Will have daylight shot later on. Have some fli underground speakers lying around too but aint got the time to fit them yet :sad:

Next i just had to do something about the horrible wood trim. So i sourced my self some brushed alluminium vinyl. striped out all the interior parts an tried getting close as i could to the r32 look.
This was my first time ever doing this so was a bit spectical :lipsrsealed:
Started with side strips as they looked fairly simple.
(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh60/naveedali1/B5871219-A7DB-41E9-9F59-BA06C3734370-24678-000005B0EB3797B6.jpg)
Then slowly made a go on the other bits after a very good outcome. It turned out to be very easy to do :smiley:

After succesfull outcome with centre console i made start on the ashtray which was a fookin pain to do but got there after 3 attempts ..

Have orderd some euro number plate surrounds and legall dubmiester pressed plates.
Had red poly bushes fitted week ago at MIDLANDVW. Sorry no pics as have to stay in waiting area while poly bushes where being fitted :sad:
Awesome place and great guys there. Very happy with the feeling of the car now feels more stiff without the nasty vibration the yellow poly bushes give. Also got news that my drivers cv joint is knocking and the drivers brake disc is fooked. So better get saving :sad:
Im going to get the middle box removed from the resonated miltek cat back as its just too quiet even with the awesome v6 engine sound. So will get the box removed to get a nice grunt :evil:
Looking at also creating my own induction kit by using pipercross cone filter and creating a heat shield. Future plans.

Had some bad news with a diagnosed rear binding caliper :cry: was causing a nasty grind when pulling away and was kiling my mpg. Gave me an excuse to just get the brakes sorted. So the
Chaps at midland vw fitted some front brake discs, a new rear caliper and brake pads all around
Stopping power is awesome now and feel much safer :grin:

Alright bud. How did you go about making the loom?
Just won a set on eBay and didn't get the loom which I thought I did!
-
i just used some speaker wire i had lying around :wink:
i conected passenger vent to centre vent then bridged wires from there to drivers side too.
This pic might give you an idea..
(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh60/naveedali1/PicsArt_1384025745642_zpsb50cb0c8.jpg)
just get your power from the dimmer switch.brown for earth and blue/grey for illumination :wink:
-
I get that bit haha, What connectors do the vents have? Can you take them from the standard ones if they don't come with?
-
I never used the conectors. Just twisted wires around each other and put insulated tape around them.
You dont HAVE to use connectors just makes it more plug and play if you do :wink:
Do your bora vents have the wires coming out back them to a black plug? This might help if you want to use connectors and make a oem loom..

Your standard vents wont have connectors as they are not illuminated vents. :wink:
