Sorry I don't have any pictures of the wires. I used second hand headlight connectors which came with a short length of wiring attached. The extra wiring was needed to extend the harness as without it there is not enough length to install the headlight as the socket on the headlight unit is in a slightly different postion.

I seem to remember that the colour codes on the wiring was the same on both sets of headlights.

Is the 869B version for the updated heater controls face panel?

I'm even more confused now! Don't know which radio part number I should buy. I know that 1ST, 1S0 & 1SL are for the different car makes but have seen 1ST035871A which is a Citigo model but also seen a UP version 1S0035869B. What is the difference between 871A and 869B, and which should I get??

I'm sure I read a topic on here about upgrading to the facelift radio but can't find it now. Could some point me in the right direction please?

Bought a second hand Monte Carlo tailgate today, only want the spoiler from it. Anybody know the best way to remove without damaging it. Was thinking of using a heat gun on low setting and fishing line to cut through the adhesive.

Have a look here in the projects section. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/332963-wheel-arch-liners/

Don't think it will. The UP tailgate is curved glass I believe, the Citigo and Mii both have a crease line across them. If it did fit you would need to swap the rear lights to match.

I have fitted facelift twin h7 headlights to my daughter's 2013 Elegance without any issues. You will need to get the connectors that plug in to the headlight unit together with some of the wiring to solder to the original loom.

Another vote for Osram Night Breakers here. Much better than the standard bulbs.

The part number for the 4motion springs I had fitted were 1J0 411 105 CE for the front and 1J9 511 115 H for the rear. I also changed the shock absorbers, part number 1J0 413 031 EA for the front, 1J0 512 011 BT for the rear. The front anti-roll bar on the 4x4 is 19mm diameter, the 4motion one is 20mm, part number is 1J0 411 305 AE. The rear bar is 13mm standard, the 4motion one is 14mm, part number 1J9 511 409 E. You can fit R32 anti roll bars which are 23mm & 19mm respectively. If you fit an R32 rear bar the spare wheel well in the boot needs modifying with a lump hammer to clear! Had to change the rear track control arms to slotted ones from an R32, the 4x4 ones are fixed and do not allow the tracking to be adjusted correctly. These I bought second hand off eBay. The springs and shock absorbers I bought new from local VW dealer (not cheap) who had to order them from Germany. When fitting the front shocks I removed a metal spacer from the top mount and replaced the bump stops with shorter ones, part number 1J0 412 303. Hope this helps. Forgot the rear drop links, changed for shorter ones, part number 1J0 505 466 B.

Changed one a few years back using this guide; https://www.upownersclub.co.uk/threads/howto-change-the-battery-in-the-maps-and-more.6714/#post-72438

I did this mod to my daughters Citigo. The metal part will actually just unclip if you pull out the knob to the foglight on position and use a small jewellers type screwdriver between the metal and plastic part.

The rear diffuser is a separate part to the bumper, I had a diffuser fitted to my Elegance by local dealer. The one I have is matt black which I think is for a Sport, the Monte Carlo models have a gloss black diffuser. Not sure how easy they are to come by now
