Led numberplate lights
I know this has been asked a billion times probably but my 2015 vrs had led rear lights which i have swapped out for facelift rear led lights which did not need coding, if i get led numberplate lights to replace the standard ones do i need these coding or is it a straight swap as the tailights. Thanks

PX valuations - a rant
Ha ha i know exactly what you mean you really get nothing for pxing a car, strange how when your about to walk away from a deal they suddenly get some extra from somewhere but still you never get near what its worth.

Maxton designs bits
Been looking at some of their bits, quite fancy a rear diffuser and front splitter, anybody got any of their stuff fitted? Is it a good fit and quality? Pics would be awesome. Been looking at this diffuser but unsure how it will fit, seems to be a full length replacement valance/diffuser for the estate but this just seems an add on for the hatch. https://www.ebay.de/itm/201662801706

Mk3 short shifter
So my tts short shift arrived this morning, just fitted it and took it for a drive, all i can say is the gearchange is how it should be from factory in a vrs, i found the oem vrs shift sloppy and far to long between gears, feels perfect to me now, so glad i went for the tts one and not the adjustable ones as for me this is just right.

Darkside replied, they said they havent fitted one to an octavia and suggest laying it against the vrs one, im gunna say they will probs fit if wolands fitted a gti one, do you need different arb links or do standard octavia ones work with them? Thanks

Ah nice one, ive emailed darkside, did you notice much difference to the standard octy one?

https://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/genuine-21-7mm-x-3-6mm-vw-mk7-golf-clubsport-s-rear-anti-roll-bar-upgrade.html Anybody know if this fits the mk3 octy? Would look a more oem part and cheaper than a whiteline or eibach.

Mk3 short shifter
Hi i recently bought a 2015 octy vrs tdi and find the gearshift throw quite long, after looking into short shifters i see forge do one, some no brand ebay ones and the one i want to know if it will fit the mk3 is the 8J0711046E one i beleive is a audi tts oem one. Sorry if this has been talked about lots before i just want to be sure this will fit before ordering from darkside. Thanks
