How are you finding the glove box LED, I heard most have a tendency too glow slightly, have you noticed if yours does this?

What subtle little changes that just make it that little bit better, will deffo look into doing this on mine !

Proof ! You don't need a stupid spoiler or crazy body kit to improve your car !

Glow slightly as in stay on?

Mines fine mate. I removed the box to fit it, and tweaked the metal prongs that complete the circuit as they were really sensitive.

Exactly mate!

Every car I own gets the LED treatment, and they transfom the car.

Gotta sort put some coilovers and colour coding now...

The switch is very sensitive, this is down to the positioning of the metal prongs that complete the circuit, I bent these a tad so that they weren't so quick to connect (It was working intermittently at first), and this solved the issue.

No not yet mate, mainly down to reliability issues, heard about using OEM BMW ones though..

Got a set you'd recommend?

Awesome thanks for the info mate.

I also wanted to put hids in my full beams but the wee hinge that holds the bulb in place couldn't be removed

To allow the hid to go in place, how did you solve that?

Cheers

Nope. HIDs flash full power before dipping down and powering up, so this is perfect for flashing. I don't go nuts though, one flash is fine (wouldn't wanna blow the ballasts). I had full beams for over 3 years in the Polo GTi with no qualms.

Just ordered from Skoda:

Rear Skoda badge (mine is tatty)

Front vRS badge from the mark II Fab

Sharan Caliper springs

Rear mats

Some dash blanks

Also, tonight I remove the handles, plate surround, grill and vents for colour coding. And should be ordering my coil overs and bushings also!

Coming along nicely then !

Yep!

Forgot to mention, tackling the side strips tonight also.

If the paint is clean underneath theyll be staying off. If not I'll get them colour coded with the rest of the bits
