On my way home a white Audi appeared in my rear view mirror. Spotted the RS3 badge and soon as we got to a dual-carriageway he went past me rather rapidly! Sounded awesome. I want one!

I remember a black BMW jeep coming quite close on my right as I turned left.

I couldn't think of seeing any Leon's that's why I asked.
Yeah kind of got mine the way I want it and enjoying it.

I'm in desperate need of VCDS. It's been too long.
The problem is...I want the official one. I don't want to mess about with dodgy stuff.
And it's so not a satisfying way to spend over 200 pounds :)

£200 is a lot of money to throw at something you would rarely use, unless you charged people a small fee to do stuff for them. Nearly the price of my coilovers lol

The amount of people I have used my VAGCOM cable for, I could have easily made most of the £200 lol but I decide not to :)

what does etka do?

ETKA is the VAG parts software that covers all models of vw, seat, skoda and Audi cars.

Basically it allows you to see a breakdown of every component and part of the car and get part numbers for it. It's what the dealers use :)

I got my version of ETKA off eBay for a few quid, works fine!

Finally had a dry day to fit the new Neuspeed induction and LED fogs, plus change the oil cap for an audi R8 one :p
Here are a few (shakey ) pics :)

As you can see they match the 6000k hids perfectly and look pretty cool, output isnt as great as the standard ones but they are still very bright! And before anyone says it, no I dont drive around with them on, this is purely a cosmetic mod for when the fogs come on when reversing ( I have de-activated the cornering fog light function ) . The standard ones look very silly compared to the HIDs, and for those of you with the corning function this is a must do mod! ( If you have HIDs or factory Xenons ;) )

Unfortunately yes, but I can live with it :) These are only some cheapo bulbs, ones from Hid direct claim to be error free but are £20 :O

Flick them on, error comes on, flick them off and on again and it doesn't come back on. Now to find a way to turn off the warning...

BTW does anyone know why you can turn the "Cold bulb warning" off for the number plate lights, but not for any other bulbs? :S
