Has anyone found someone who makes an infill piece to go in the bloody big hole under the rear bumper?

I don't care if its just black ABS, just worried that it will fill with crap and rust the car body

That’s quite a list. I have done most of those changes but not all. You’re particular and will have the car how you want it. Why not? Enjoy.

What are your wheels? They look very nice.

Probably too particular but it’s worth the hassle to have the car the way I want it
Still deliberating in fitting a set of Eibach springs but will wait and see how it sits with the wheels fitted

The wheels have just been released recently

Will be interested to see the wheels on the CS45. Quite like the look of them.

What about an easer option? A Skoda washer bottle ‘funnel cap’?

😂😂 think I’ll give that one a miss !

Yes, they’re the R paddles. No, you only need to remove the airbag (basically the centre piece of the wheel where you press the horn). This pops off quite easily, you just need to release 3 clips on the back of the wheel. Once you’ve that off you need to gently prise off the silver trim, it’s just clipped in. Once that’s off, the existing paddles are easily removed by undoing a Torx screw for each one and disconnecting them. The new paddles fit in exactly the same way.

Oh, other thing we did is remove the fuse for the horn. It kept going off and nearly giving us heart attacks / temporary deafness when removing the airbag!

Everything went back together 100% and no dash errors. I’d say it took about 20-25 mins.

Volkswizard has a video on it.

Joe, did you have to disconnect battery or anything? I have mine sitting in the car since I got it afraid to do it in case I mess something up

No, no need to disconnect the battery but I would recommend removing the fuse for the horn as it’ll keep going off!

Definitely disconnect the horn. One accidental blast is enough to convince you. I had literally no idea what I was doing. Some great help from people on here as always. Once you’ve removed one clip it becomes much easier as you know what to do.

Tbh fitting the dynamic indicators was harder.

On and don’t touch the start button by accident unless you want the airbag warning light to stay on! Yes, I’m a total pleb.

Good luck!!!

Job done, getting the airbag off was the most difficult part, I was able to leave it plugged in. Good call on the fuse for the horn 😃

Great job! Having those R paddles fitted has made me use them more than I ever have in previous cars. Enjoy!

After washing it I’ve just booked it in for a valet and ceramic coat.

It’s the first time I’ve ever ever paid for anything like this on my cars so I’m hoping it’s worth it
