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,

  • Fog light yellow tint mod

    Took a gamble and ordered some yellow adhesive film off eBay China for $4.00 posted. It took 30 days to arrive, but it was worth the wait. Quality clear cover on both sides of the film, and nice thick yellow layer. Should protect for basic stone chips.

    I used an A4 piece of paper pushed up against the fog lamps, traced the edges in pencil. Cut the paper and re positioned it to check for accuracy and then used it as a template for the film.

    Slow and firm with a dry lots applying pressure each 3-4mm as I pulled off the adhesive sided film.

    Went on easy.

    Total time 20 mins.

    Nice Euro look.




    Tail lights next weekend...

            I know. Slow or what? Seriously though. I'm impressed with the thickness of the film, and the bite of the adhesive.

              If you want some. I can recommend the supplier. Enough for about 8 fog lights on the roll.

                  I see the ebayer has the film at $2 something inc. postage. I do not know how they can make any money on that. I recon it would be a $20 piece of film if you try to but it a superco etc
