That was a blatant setup.  :grin:


I love 5 doors, red cars and small bumpers. Honest

Small update.

I have had my heater elements out of my recaro's for a few months now. The original elements are not hot enough.



Also ripped out the mk3 loom and replaced for the mk2 loom just to keep it OE.
 Notice the different plug. MK2 right, mk3 left. Wiring wise its the same as the mk3, uses the same switch connection and even the relays are the same. Just wire colours differ.



The elements are 12v yes but many people don't realise they run at 6v each. The two inner connections are for the resistor.



All this is getting removed. The factory the elements are just not hot enough. If anyone has sat in a mk1 audi tt they will know the meaning of heated seats!

The downside to run aftermarket elements on a mk2 loom is that you may lose out on the roller heat setting and the overheat cut off but I have a plan!

Another OCD update:
Couldn't stand a half lit headunit. Super tiny bulbs over LED's. I personally don't think LED's should go anywhere near old cars.







Much better!

Also changed the bulbs in all the switches and get a much cleaner glow. Pics to follow.

Superb attention to detail as always Blue.

The glass, is it Chromalux? Looks green rather than goldish? or is it just the pic?

Some of the 'Chromalux' is marked 'Siglachrom' by the way. Both types of marking on the glass were fitted to ED1.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.
