    Painting Grill Any tips

    One last question, I was cleaning the new grille today and was ready to start the prep work, but I noticed a part number 8V3 853 651 and anotherAU370/373 Sline. Will this grille be a direct swap for the standard SE grille. Don't want to paint it then find it doesn't fit thanks

    Car looks great. Do you know if the Sline radiator grille is a direct fit on the SE bumper. I was going to paint the Sline grille black and fit it onto the SE bumper, and keep the original grille so that i can return it to standard if I decide to sell the car in the future or if the paint start...

    Painting Grill Any tips

    Nice car, very smart. I bought a second hand grill, ( very cheaply) it is a dark grey where as mine is a light grey. The idea was paint the second hand grill, if it start to deteriorate I still have the original that I can refit.

    Painting Grill Any tips

    Yeah that’s my worry. Is Plasticoat type paint harder wearing? Just thought something that can just be pealed off wouldn’t be very durable.

    Sat Nav update issue

    I read somewhere not to use a micro card in an adapter. No idea what difference it makes but you could try and put it onto a normal sized sd card.

    I changed my front bulbs I used osram cool blue intense and they give good results whilst remaining 100% legal in UK. Also changed reverse bulb to an LED which is very smart looking. Still to do fog lights but will probably go with the Cool blue again and thinking about changing front...

    That’s what worries me about OBDeleven, Could the person possibly have selected the wrong car details when setting it up?

    DanZ I've been looking at the OBDeleven as it lists the mods that id like to do but like yourself I'm a little nervous as I have no experience of carrying out this sort of stuff. Is it fog lights enabled as cornering light? Do these only work when the main beam is on and between a certain...

    8V wing mirror cover removal

    This guy makes it look easy enough, I think you can remove the cover without removing the mirror. He only removed the mirror to get to the screws that fit into the indicator.
