Thanks, suddenly this seems like an option

How will the mirrors know to fold and put the puddle light on? Will it need VCDS coding I wonder.

Just make sure that you get the sequential led indicators for them - on sale for $45, free shipping!

Loving seeing the progress of this project, dare I say it's the 'Kamold R36' of 110TSI's?

Everybody mods Rs and GTIs these days, so lots of info on that. Whilst I am modding my R (and the Mustang) too at the same time, I figured nobody wanted another R mod thread, so thought this would be more entertaining and educational

it will require vcds coding. you also need to make sure your door controllers are the 5Q4959592 (passenger door) and 5Q4959593 (drivers door) models. my comfortline has the correct passenger door controller, but the lesser controller (5Q4959393) on the drivers door.

Thanks I'll check the controller models over the weekend. Luckily I invested in a VCDS cable a few years ago now That said, its a Hex+ USB cable and it cannot read the R's ECU (all other modules still OK to read)..... 5 VWs later I might have to upgrade it.

OBD11 is a cheaper alternative...

VCDS is better, so I'm happy to pay a bit more.

Blacked out badge

Final touch for a few months .. a blacked out rear VW badge





BTW, the 145 now growls a bit more with the GTI exhaust, love it.

[Lucas_R]

Rear end looks much better now with the GTI muffler and diffuser. Personally if it was me i would de-badge the Golf and TSI logos (or even just the Golf logo) for a cleaner look - but obviously some people prefer to leave the badges on.

So, just when I thought this project was all done except for the wheels, I have been told the GTI exhaust is too quiet

Sourced a GTI Supersprint exhaust 2.75" with 4" tips LOL and fitted it.

Now it has the required burble and noise I'm told
