I quite like it...would also like it if it was possible to get a brushed aluminium surround from somewhere for the sat nav, a/c controls and the upper section too.

Mine was clumsily painted by a previous owner  :cry: easy enough to get a stock black and replace that though, however aluminium would be good too.

Post by: bobotheclown on 01 August 2008, 09:57
Yeah, an alu sat nav surround would be fantastic. I imagine it would be tricky to fabricate due to it being curved.
Title: Re: Opinion's please
Post by: No Golf Clubs at all on 01 August 2008, 10:09
Yep and the fact it has to have J hooks on the back to site it properly..unless an overlay on the original was possible.

Someone once hinted at chrome/ alu being an option on the new passat but when I looked I couldnt find it....may just have been wishful thinking on their part.

This arrived from Awsome this morning but doesn't fit properly, going to have to sand various area's to make it fit over the alu look frame's round the dials. fitting is easy just some double side'd, so easy to return to stock if not impressed.

Now you reply we sent out an SOS to you the other day. Ive also figered out how to take my seat inserts out of the top of my seats and ive ordered one from VW when it comes i was going to see if you could make some alu one's  :drool:

When it sit's inproperly i'm presuming that it is supposedl'y sits in flush with the alu look surround's. It is tight in acouple of places so i think iv'e got to sand the inner edg'es of the rev counter side

Post by: cняis on 05 August 2008, 14:35
i blinged my rover in a similar way, was brushed stainless steel and didnt cause any reflective problems

be careful of the double sided adhesive, the cockpit will get very hot and no doubt make the glue come unstuck, i had this happen to me  :huh:

cost about £20 off ebay

Be careful when reworking,make sure you follow the grain which would become a pain when sanding the top of the arc.I,d just reduce the rad until it fits perfect.What was wrong with the inserts for you to remove them and wot you ordered from VW??  :rolleyes:

Is it the full handle,if so it needs developing flat with comp for bends,then folding.Can be done I reckon but I need the unit removing from the seat for accurate measurement.I reckon thats gonna be a right ball ache.
