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,

              Looking good Biggie, looking good.

              Ps. Can't the Po-Pos give you a fine for your number plate? Not being visible from a 40 degree angle from the front of the car?

                      • window tint

                        I just had Tint A Car apply formular 1 tint to the front windows.
                        A scapegoat is almost as good, as a solution to the problem.

                          That's not a bad idea. The only problem I see is security, someone can just walk up and take them off

                              Front Looks great- nice and subtle. 3M double sided tape the plates on works well.

                                Please can you tell me exactly which one you got and what it looks like. I bought some automotive tape and it is crap, the plates keep peeling off!
