Should be a bolt under the plastic covers, and at the gripper too  :smiley:
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

back one will not affect your airbag light nav its only the driver and passenger and your side airbags that will throw a fault light

it will be easier to remove your front seats as the trim panels have to come off to get acess just make sure to dissconnect the battery ie for the airbags as well as the seatbelt pre tensioners  :laugh:

Yh i removed the trim.. i dont think have to remove seats as i got quite bit room play around with the seat belt. aslong as the seat is pushed right up against the steering wheel .. im begining to hate VW  :lipsrsealed:

you will require some torx bits for the screws as they arent phillips or flat head etc  :wink: :wink: iirc the nut for the rear middle belt is 17mm
