They don't look too bad, would be good for the kids. I did think about getting some for the Tig but didn't in the end as no one could show a picture of them at the time.

Hi Tigger162 and not sure what you mean by “stealthy", these are pretty rigid and nothing beats roof mounted lights for improving night driving safety.
Here are some photos of the roof mounted LED bar

Hi, how does the cabling enter the car?

What are you thoughts on running boards?

Does it complement the car?

I actually saw these earlier, called my dealer and he said they weren't listed on his system but he'll look into it for me.

I don't think they look to bad and will definitely help my 3yo get in and out..

In saying that, by the time I get my fooken tig even my 1yo will be big enough to get in without them! 😩

I just copied and pasted the image from e-bay. Maybe there are size restrictions.

I was considering stainless steel door and boot sill protectors but worry that cheap low grade steel might rust and stain the paint.
With kids and loading pushchairs into the boot, sill protection makes sense... I'm thinking about using clear or even matte black/grey vinyl. Not much of an expert in this and clean application would be an issue for me. VW offer this but waaaay too expensive.

You can buy clear 3M Clearshield plastic and use that Cant even see it when applied. Not hard to do yourself if you are careful I did both my cars door sills and rear bumpers for about $100

Thanks! Were they pre-cut or did you have to cut them?

[Guest001]

No I bought it by the metre and cut it to fit Can take some pic if you want to see how it looks. It goes right down under the side roll so ladies shoes dont scrape on the edges of the paint as it would with the alloy ones I actually have some spare 300mm wide by about 2400mm
Be more than enough to do 4 doors. Also have instructions on how to do it. You just need some "magic water from Germany" as I was told once, actually water and dishwash liquid, some Isopropyl alcohol and a scraper (bankcard) style

Thanks again. I'd better get some of that magic water on order. It'll probably take 10 months to arrive from Germany.

BTW, nice 'fleg' on your profile. We better not mention the Bledisloe Cup or we'll get booted off the forum.

Changed the boot light to a 43mm Festoon LED. Significant improvement in light output.

That's incredible improvement! Does it only have a light on the right hand side?

Yeah just the right hand side. Same as the Mk7 Golf.

Fitted these soon after I got the car, they work well and feel great when I went for a decent drive before work today.

You changed the flippers on the wheel?

They stick on the current ones.

I took off the red adhesive cover, blow dried the adhesive so it was nice and gummy before sticking on the paddle shift extenders.
