That narrow curved panel between the end panel with the airbag switch and the rubber door seal is probably not fixed in properly, it has a fixing at the bottom that fits over and into the trim piece below it, I’d bet that bit is not inserted properly, and is therefor distorting the shape, with the dash end panel removed you can pull the narrow trim piece out, take a look and see if it can be realigned.
Thank you, I’ll take a look at that  :smiley:

For years I had HIDs fitted to my Focus RS. Recently, decided to bin them, because of how difficult, it has become finding a garage to pass it.
Gone for Philips UltraWhite I think they're called.

Bulbs wise, I've typically purchased from LedPerf website.

I got their own D3S bulbs once and was pleased with the bulb brightness and colour.

You don't need to use credits to disable it. Just navigate to Structure Borne Sound, select Adaptation, find "Volume of structure-borne noise actuator," and change the value to 0

Ah ok. Thanks for telling me the procedure but a bit late too lol.

Having driven it now without the fakeness, i'm very pleased with the noise.....or lack of.

Golf mk7 / Blind spot monitor Mk7.5 GTI
« Last post by davyk31 on 05 February 2026, 19:56 »
I am starting to have a look again at Mk7.5 Gti as my son fancies one. His current car has blind spot monitoring in the mirrors which I think is a great feature. Assume it’s not standard on the Gti but is it an option many cars would have? Is there a way to determine from pics of a car has it, for example does it work off extra sensors on the front and rear sides of the car,

The garage / tire change when car fitted with DCC
« Last post by candywhite12 on 05 February 2026, 17:46 »
do new tires need to be fitted by dealer/authorized workshop? would think that DCC needs to be calibrated so it's not simply changing tires, would assume this needs specialized equipment.
