+1.

imo - the diffuser only suits the dual exhausts.
i contemplated getting a diffusor before, but decided against it for the reason above.

but u can c i'm digging myself into a bigger hole.
1st i'll get the "dual" exhaust.
then i'll need a rear diffusor to tie it nicely around the exhausts.
then i'll need a front splitter, to tie it nicely with the rear diffusor.
then i'll need black/anthracite rims, to tie it nicely with the diffusor & splitter.
then i'll......

so i'm not persuing this path anytime soon, as the money tree can only grow so slow.
lotto is still an option.
drug dealing is not an option.

Ain't that the truth! My wife waters the money tree at our house and while it seems to be blooming with fruit, she keeps telling me they're weeds and of no value.

Conveying 'hugs not drugs' nicely there.

while everyone else de-chromes, i've added more chrome - headlight switch.
only downside - it lights up vw red, instead of the skoda green!
i can live with that i guess.

I must say... That new switch does match the interior a lot better!!

You could always swap the LED's across

[zei20t]

I think it means soldering lots of little LEDs. but not impossible!

[dArK5HaD0w]

no way am i gonna transplant the LEDs from one to the other.
easiest way would be to open the backplate & swap the PCB as it is. will b plug & play.
unfortunately VAG have used a tiny tiny torx screw!!! i don't have one that fits....so till i find one, i live with it.

[zei20t]

jaycar will have what you need

I did an LED transplant on the dash of my Kia Rio... Dirty burnt orange stock, suddenly became blue with red highlights.
Thinking of doing the same thing to the Octy, when I can pluck up the courage to take the dials apart...

The shoppers at the IKEA store were looking at me funny, thinking there was no way i was going to fit the 1 daybed (in 4 pieces) plus 2 matresses into the car. HA!!

even the staff at ikea tried to convince me it won't fit and to use their expensive delivery service. pffttt...as if!!

2 pieces were 209 cms, while the widest piece was 106cms - piece of cake to fit them all in and not a scratch.
i removed (2 mins) the seatbase and moved the front seat all the way forward.

^ haha, nice one.

hehe I did the same with a BBQ. Rocked up at the loading dock, 'No way thats gonna fit in there mate...'
Moved the child seat to the front, popped the seats down and hey presto! Room to spare.
