    • I fitted this android unit. Took an hour or so, plug and play...almost. Had to pull it out and dismantle the bloody thing due to the ribbon cable on the screen not being seated properly. All good now and very happy with it. I have a wince unit in my landcruiser that is half the equipment this is.

                    Ask him where he bought it. Most AU based sellers can recomend a fitter. They aren't hard to change as a DIY either. Learn from youtube & forums.

                    • LHR and RHR Lock actuators replaced at VW Ballarat. I really wanted to install them myself but don't have the time to fix in case I stuff it up.

                      RHR #7L0839016D $276 (not sure why different?)

                      • Painted the background behind the badge silver to match the car:





                        Painted the emblem Black:


                        Then decided the other badges need to come off:

                          • I did nothing to my mk5 today. She might be feeling neglected, she might throw a fault if I keep it up[emoji20]

                            • Did a few things in the last few days.

                              Plasti dipped front and read badges, and the red strip on the grille.



                              I polished the headlights using Meguiar's Headlights Restoration kit, and polishing pads which I attached to a cordless drill (has much better results than doing it by hand). Also added yellow fox light covers.





                              Oh I also fitted a Votex Replica Lip which I got from Hennessy Auto Styling. Really good service from these guys, and the lip is good quality and good fit as well..

                              • MkV GTI 2008 MY09

                                - 80k service + timing belt and water pump replacement
                                - new set of Michellin PS3

                                A few unexpected expenses but all quality work done. Should enjoy much better grip over the winter months.
