Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

  • I think you should be ok to just buy the upper chrome trim part and replace that, as the molding clips on
    Home Page > Search > Chrome Decorative Strip Right > ES&#35;2195079 Chrome Decorative Strip Right (Passenger) - 951427-8 - can't find the LHD one atm
    but if you do need to buy them all it was a couple hundred iirc

    Replaced them pretty much to be different, everyone seemed to be buying the oem leds and the Jetta's run similar ones. So I decided to change mine
    They can be bought as a RHD tail light through http://www.bks-tuning.com/ but will come to about $700 I've heard

      Hey Nick, any chance you have a link for the aerial adaptor used for the RCD510 retrofit? Doing mine on the weekend and I don't know what one it is and remembered that you had done it just hoping you can help

        Thanks for the links, unfortunately the GT fog grilles top strip is molded in so I'd have to buy a whole new set.

          Yah, the chrome strip on the Jetta is also molded and ain't coming out easily.

          Ive been searching for a replacement honeycomb grill that fits but no luck so far

            Ah yep, well it was $225 exactly but the chrome trims were on special at the time, however shipping is the biggest killer from anything at ECS was like $65 each genuine grille was $60 and rest was trims, expensive but when are modding cars not?

            Ah damn, if I knew I had some honeycomb grilles from the bar I bought but I sold them
            The Jetta grilles fitted perfectly to my bar so I guess they would have been perfect for a Jetta

                            • Copped a defect for too low today, lucky it's only a minor and no rwc required
                              However I'm heading to Shanghai tomorrow so I'll have to clear it when I get back and then drop it again
