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,

    There's a few places on Evilbay selling those pillars John, unfortunately no one sells aftermarket chrome window surrounds, none that i've found anyway

    That gear knob is a bit fully hektik LOL, although the mounted gauges look awesome in that example shot

            Don't know, but it comes with a wiring kit and says it's plug and play for VW, no cutting or splicing. Must connect to the other illuminated switches in the console.

                I think it really sets the car off very nicely!

                Not sure if the pillars though would make it "too much"?

                  I think the chrome pillars would be a bit over the top IMO.

                  P.S. You are actually alive then Dave?

                    Yeah I'm alive mate!
                    Have been away (again).

                    Longer trip this time... left Canberra in the dark morning hours of 18 July.
                    Almost didn't get out... they had to de-ice the plane twice?!?!

                    Great to be home, to my dog and my Tiguan!
                    Shame though my welcome home was -4.7 this morning?!?!?!

                          Nope, I have the sport. However, as I added the 19inch rims and legally required wheel arch extenders it looks just as sporty as the R-line. Another thing, the R-line engine is exactly the same as what I have in my Sport -a 2L TSI therefore, performance would be exactly the same. I don't understand why someone would pay the extra £2500/£3000 for a bit of paint which covers the rigid plastic!
                          As I can see, you are one of the sensible ones.
