I always like to have a window open a bit, don’t know when it started or where it came from, and in the summer it’s good to be able to leave them open a bit and no one can see they are open, also (being in Scotland) if it rains then you’re ok

I had the windows cracked open on a sunny day and a rear one flew off with a horrible noise, and I have a full carbon fibre spoiler on it that I was so scared it had hit, actually found it in the car the next day but it gave me the fear and so they all got ripped out

Does anyone know if you can buy proper wind deflectors that stick/bind on to the outside of the car not the ones that just stick in the windows? Had a bad experience with them on my evo a couple years ago and a little bit scared of them now!

Just watch sizing, the ones I got are actually a little too big and I had to fiddle to get the boot lights back into the slots. They can be bigger than a standard cap less but not by too much, maybe an extra xtra 10mm at most to fit comfortably in the holder

I ordered a pack of 10 W5W or T10 capless LED bulbs, for about £5 on eBay, and these are fine for all interior lights, I changed the glovebox, the two above the dash and the three in the rear. I also bought some 200 lumen (mega bright) LED W5W (so same fitment as the rest) lights for about £5 for the pair, for the two boot lights, and all these are a straight swap, easy enough with a small screwdriver to remove the light holders. I then done done a bit of research into the number plate lights, you can buy it pensive kits or even genuine LED complete units from VW, but they still need VAGCOM or VCDS coding to remove the canbus error stating a problem with the rear no. Plate lamps on the dash board. Or you can buy resistors to put into the loom on the no. Plate lamps and this creates the expected draw the car wants to see and so also eliminates the error message on the dash. hope this helps. Such a simple Thing to do and makes the car look much fresher and suits better with the Xenons and LED lights fitted to the car originally. I passionately hate yellow tinted bulbs now!

Hi there, Very new on here, just picked up the car a week ago, and already had to fiddle with it! Every bulb that wasn’t an LED is Now LED including some mega mega bright boot lights, waiting on some bits arriving for it I ordered last week as I can’t leave any car just standard It’s planned for a proper detail very soon but the weather up here has stopped me from really even moving it this week. Will get some good pictures once I get a chance to make it as shiny as it should be! Damn this snow!
