Rear footwell lighting?      I'm intrigued!..

[Jimmymature]

Rear valance painted?

Fogs as turning lights are just plain wrong (IMHO)

Puddle/door lights are a good mod.

Also vinyl wrap front lip and mirrors gloss black looks great

The jack up pads and underbody aero parts are good mods which I have but not visually different but usefull

I did the fogs as turning lights and like it.


An ex-forum user had his rear valance painted grey like the front bumper insert and it looks great

Interested in the Brake cooling deflectors, any more details?

look under the rear of the front seats. You will see a cutout in the metalwork for a light. Buy the front footwell lights from vw and wire them to the front ones.

Rs3 brake cooling there's a thread on mk5golfgto.co.UK under performance section iirc by a user call bruce.
I cannot post a direct link from this silly phone.

Thanks Snoopy.     I've just fitted LED interior lights   .  I don't know why they are not standard as they are so much better than the normal bulbs and the white light improves the overall look.    So rear footwell lights are now next on my list as they will look like they should have been their from day one in the cutouts. 

My only concern is it is a shame the wire is not there as I cant face pulling up the carpet on my new car just yet.

Here is the link for RS3 brake cooling.  Not top of my list but interesting......

that bodykit is friking hideous

do you want subtle visual mods or performance mods

audi TTS short shift for £26 and put the rest towards a remap

Visual really, i know its pathetic but i'm alwyas nervous about perfomance mods!

It's not pathetic, you're right to be wary of performance mods. 1. Invalidates warranty. 2. You will have problems and not be totally satisfied with the outcome [At least that's the overall impression I get from reading posts on here]
