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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

                • righto, lil update time

                  I refinished that killswitch blank panel properly, looks much better now and am happy with it...

                  Boring I know, but I bought a new roof; Apparently the roof that's on there was new when I bought it? either it wasn't or it was a **** china roof because the seam at the rear has opened up. Been like it for a little while and is slowly getting worse so i've ordered a new, german made, seamless, original cloth top. Just need to summon the motivation to get it on!

                  Getting silly with the shaving now, i've decided to shave the headlight switch, haha.... plans are to convert the headlights and ignition switch with some oem looking buttons, hopefully it pulls off.....the "finished" pics at the end are unpainted but you get the idea....


                  gutted light switch with the locking mechanism left






                  Made a blanking panel




                  welded and sanded




                  Also bought some GTI clocks though the SEAT's light up orange and no one likes orange. whilst I was there I "flipped" the lcd.... (I'll throw up a DIY if there's interest)

                  Voided warranty?




                  BRAAAAAAP! yeh right.... haha




                  The polarising films are pretty cool, here's it removed;
                  First pic is the standard way and the second pic is just the film flipped over.






                  New light "filter" (piece of cut out paper)




                  and done!




                  I had white LED's for the lcd's to light up the digits white but they're too bright and they actually lit up the dark section a ****ty blue colour, so the standard bulbs will do for the moment till I figure out what ima do to achieve white digits.....

                  Now I opened and closed and installed and uninstalled this cluster I don't know how many times to get this right so like I said earlier, if you're interested, i'll make a DIY for everyone to follow with my tips included....



                  Some random pictures courtesy of instagram.... if you're on there hit me up, i'm a little more frequent on there with this thing than here...

                  new sticker, pretty much sums up my drivers vocabulary driving this thing static on the daily......




                  Wore down the fronts with my ghetto-****ty alignment so steelies were selected! bogans eat your hearts out!

                  • Dude your car is amazing! Love it!

                    I'd been keen on that DIY if there's more interest for you to write it up. Keep up the good work mate!

                                Either way, they're killing it. Beats the ratty VR ones I got installed.
