    Serious?? Wow - quick swap over for the steering wheel then! This would hopefully be a quick and easy change then. Did you have to do some computer component recoding to have the car recognise that it's got a new steering wheel/airbag/MFD buttons/DSG paddles? Does it need it in order to keep the car in a road worthy and safety ready position that in the event of an accident that the air bag would deploy?

    Thanks for the info about the lip as well - I may get one. Might get a rear one as well to balance the look as well.

    Understand what you also are saying about the Xenons. I had a read earlier today and it seems that there's a particular part specific for what I need as well - UK/Au market RHD car so the angle of lighting won't dazzle oncoming drivers, plus as my car has DCC, there's another specific type which is needed as the lights need to be mated with DCC enabled cars.

    This one shows 3 options of lights, with electronic shock absorber, 4Motion and FWD. Expensive too... might have to pass on them. the rear LEDs though don't seem to have as specific a requirement though.

    Any ideas which model VWs use the same rear light clusters as the Passat?

      Yea, all I has to program was the paddles. Just need to activate one option in VCDS. There is no issue with it being roadworthy or not, its an OEM VW MFSW, not an aftermarket wooden one.

      If you get a rear apron/lip you might also need side skirts.
