My door bin insert kit arrived from china today

 

 

so were fitted to the car within minutes of being opened

 

drivers door

 

 

Passenger door

 

 

Unfortunately the rear door ones seem to have been made the wrong way round so the writing is backwards, but you can't really see then so I'm not too bothered

 

 

Decided against using the ones for the cup holder and the bottom of the maxibox as these already have their own liners. The other 2 are for the little pockets on the seats, drivers would fit but the passenger one is for a car without a height adjustable passenger seat so again I'm not using these

Thanks. For the power fold mirrors you will need both mirror units, the switch for the drivers door and the door controllers which support the power fold mirrors for both front doors. Once everything is fitted it's just a case of coding with VCDS

How would I know what modules are needed do they have a code or a model number?

Have a read at this thread

Another parcel arrived from china this morning - a second bag hook for the boot. A bargain for £2.69 inc delivery!!!

 

 

So was immediately fitted to the pre-existing holes on the drivers side

Hi Dilksie,

hope your octy is doing great. I want to know from where you ordered the MK2 multi function vRS steering. I have searched enough and I had almost given up until I saw your post. I’m based in India but I do have a friend who is currently in Czech who can help with this. Please share the part number as well, mine being 1.8 TSI Ambiente

Bolero headunit is on its way and I plan to do the maxidot as well

 

[dilksie]

The MF steering wheel was purchased from eBay. I have had a look at eBay here in the UK and cannot find any VRS MFSW's currently listed but there is a 4 spoke MFSW from a 2012 car listed for £120 plus postage (item number 183443979731)

Thanks!!! the puddle lights needed coding in (on the door controllers if I remember correctly) and the footwell lights came from e-bay. Again these were coded in (this time on the BCM)
