That looks very different to what is OEM for the liftback/sedan.

Nonetheless, good luck with the project.

This is how they look.....

Yeah they’re the brackets I got that didn’t fit!

It’s not claiming to be an OEM copy. It’s very much an aftermarket universal kit.

But I bought OEM brackets in the hope of using them as a mounting point for the aftermarket sensors so I could drill into the plastic of the bracket rather than the metal of the car.

Managed to drill out the bracket from the kit to mount on one of the studs on the car so no drilling of car required.

Superb did a great job being loaded up for camping.

However I am thinking the rear springs and shocks could do with a refresh as it was looking very low whilst loaded up.

When loaded with 3 kids and luggages for a whole week in the boot, my ex Superb Estate Mk3 rear axle also lowered by 1 to 1.5´´. DCC doesn’t change this…

That was no passengers - only a full boot and roofbox.

This is the empty height.

Got the blind spot project to 95% complete this afternoon. All wires run in and loomed up to protect them.

Boot trim came out to run cables and all power and indicator lights connected up and all working well.

Not the most elegant finish just yet but this is proof of concept stage.

Final bits to finish this bit is to tap in to the rear light feeds so the BSD indicators flash at you if you are indicating whilst something is in your blind spot. Just waiting on some posi taps to come for the connection points.

Then if I’m happy with how it operates , next step is some experiments with the multimeter to check how the standard LEDs operate and then see if they will run the OEM BSD indicator LEDs. If they do then wires will be run in to the doors and OEM LEDs installed in the mirror housings so that it looks standard.

So I've had the car four weeks now. Replaced the leather sides of the DSG knob as they were worn with some Ali Express specials. Sorry no photos but they fitted fine.

Also replaced the door puddle lights with some LED units, bit chavy but hey-ho. Had to take the passenger door card off as someone had previously been there before and the cable was way too short. Sorted now though.

I have these and really like them. Be warned. AliExpress is an addictive drug!
