My 2006 pre-fl has holes BUT as I was swapping off the original damaged green badge I discovered it was a foil over a black plastic blank. It'd be worth a breakers yard explore or buy an oem badge to strip back and prep if you wanted a 'button'. Personally I'm all for personalising your ride, but to remove, fill and paint badge depressions seems a lot of hassle.

I'd certainly consider dropping of the front bumper, if only to gain access with your fingers. One of mine had lost its' outside plate and was being hit with all the road-muck. I'd sourced a new "front plate" but hadn't gotten around to fitting it, when the car ended up in a bush avoiding a (drunk?) driver losing control in a narrow lane... so my bumper needed a 'reseat' to get the line back (far better than the chromed steel nudgers I grew up with) I love the way modern stuff absorbs those slow speed impacts. Anyway, once the bumper was dropped off, working on the headlight washer was a breeze 🙂

Hey Paul. IF you want CD / DVD compatability you'll pay more. I did ... I went for an Android 10 head unit from Amazon ... it supports CANBUS alerts / steering wheel controls / rear view camera and DAB (extra module) . Preloaded with the Torque app for the OBDport ... I use a USB as my prefacelift Octy2 has too small a dash hole for the wifi unit I already had. Went to Ebay for a surround (perfect fit) from China inside 7days.

Had to slip off the front bumper on my Combi (not VRS) and noticed there are additional lighting mounts behind the little service panels you remove to work on the front fogs. Sorry if it's come up before - I can't find any mention though. Has anybody else here ever seen/modded with these locations? It looks like they might accept the VW Corrado Mk1 fogs ... wiring isn't an issue, I just would like to know if I'm treading a path already made ... these are the bunnies > https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/en/halogennebelscheinwerfer-bab655.html - once we're out of lockdown I'll have a trawl of the scrappies and get measuring. Cheers

I don't like the LED conversions and fear the illegal aspect, so I've always gone for aftermarket replacement bulbs. Osram Nightbreakers on Amazon are currently under £16 a pair ... I've used them for years. I use Philips sidelight bulbs to colour match - there is a post i put up back around Jan/Feb time listing some links there Try this link, but remember to select the correct models(s) the dipped and full beam bulbs will be different, easliy googled on a car spares site quoting your reg / model + year > https://www.amazon.co.uk/generation-brightness-headlamp-64210NL-HCB-passenger/dp/B07FXH9352/ref=asc_df_B07FXRDJV7/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310764720204&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4319726003812413288&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006668&hvtargid=pla-592557309357&th=1
