Yeah new BCM needed, I've made the change to FL LED tail lights on my estate. Langers2k was very helpful in swapping the BCM and coding up correctly - been running a couple of years without issue now.

Looking forward to seeing it all come together, some serious work that's gone into that car!

Find a good independent, it's usually the cooler for the EGR that goes which is about £300 for the part, and about £300 labour outside of the dealer network

I am right in thinking that you took apart the gearbox yourself? I'm impressed at the scale of the work being undertaken here!

Pedals are easy, can buy a replacement set with a metal 'sport' finish. Clutch and brake will come off after a short soak in hot water (or can cut the bit of rubber holding them in place), new ones just push in place. Accererator can be removed either with a special tool, or two flat head screwdrivers into the base, unplug, then reverse process to fit the new pedal. Steering wheels will work, but need compatible multi-function buttons to talk to the rest of the car - a search on the forum here will provide further details

How do you find the flat bottomed wheel in comparison to the original wheel you had on? Ideally I'd like one of those as well, but they always seem to be a lot more expensive than the normal round ones!

Last two links aren't public :( Brave undertaking though, look forward to seeing this come together!

I had the wiring go in my 2011 Superb, fixed with a new harness, but got a VW specialist to replace

Is it because they're too flexible? (Not being able to tell that from the pictures) I've got the Skoda ones on mine which as stiff plastic; don't stop muck down the sides and back, but do reduce it enough to make a difference when cleaning

From previous discussions on here... There is a Varta with the same spec as the S5 Bosch; it's the same battery with a different label and a fair bit cheaper!

I've got halogen; but the fog light unit is the same between cars with and without xenons Other counties have DRL on at the back, but not the UK by default for most cars (Volvo might be an exception there) There are various online retailers for car bulbs and all seem to stock xenon bulbs

Are the rear lights on as DRL as well? MY 2011 onwards Superbs (and I believe all estates) have a DRL bulb and a fog bulb in the lower lighting (like silver's picture above) Previously they only had a fog bulb in that enclosure. I agree with silver, it sounds like someone has changed some settings with VCDS so the car isn't using the lighting in the 'factory' configuration The bulbs aren't cheap for xenons, but not £200 (just a nice dealer markup there )

Interesting; risk of buying online from another country! Thanks for confirming on that; it's good to know (and makes sense that everything else worked fine!)

The part listed is the BCM, with the revision after it; generally the SW (software) and HW (hardware) revisions will match (unless HW has been flashed with a more recently SW) Just to note, it is possible to fit too newer of a module: We originally fitted an AA module which had been flashed to AF and this worked - except it reduced the remote central locking range down to ~3 feet This was replaced with a Q module (which both accepted the LED coding and restored normal central locking range)

I've done this with langers2k's help. In short it's new light clusters; new black plastic covers and a new BCM BCM replacement would be dependent on the version you've got currently on whether it will accept the coding for the LEDs (mine is a 2011and had a K revision, had to fit a Q revision for the coding to work).
