              No dramas.

              Note that 'poor road surfaces' affect performance of the system - so that pretty much rules out most of Australia.

                  • And obviously the stability control all the way off. There must be a VCSD was to turn it off.

                      I think they usually just yank out the ABS and/or TC fuses?

                        • Need some MK7 golf pics please

                          Hi,

                          I'm doing some design work for my golf GTI but don't have the car at the moment.

                          I was hoping someone could take a pic of the boot with the cover off the spare and also with the spare tyre removed.


                          I would be greatly appreciative .

                              Indeed I do! looking at options for either a side mount or box in above the spare wheel.

                              Mounting depth from the metal to base of the cover is only 100mm though so I'm looking at any extra I can get sitting into the wheel hub (and shorten the fat threaded pole).

                              How do you find yours performs with the stock floor/cover over it?

                              I'd be very interested in some more pics if that is your car . I like the way the frame work is set up but couldn't tell if you have a spare in there still .

                              • Is there a way to adjust the height of where the xenon's lights point?
                                I was driving in the mountains this evening and I noticed the xenon's are not that bright when pitch black (prob due to only one set of the "u" lights active) also it seems to point too low to the road and I would like it a bit higher. You can change it with the halogen lights from the switch near the headline switch, but it is missing on my car.
