SAAWEEEETTTTT :D

They will undoubtedly be the best mod you'll make. Either that or new front bumper :)

In my opinion, the little bits are awesome. Put new cupra vent switches (£8) on today, and they look mint. Can't wait for the gear surround :D

I used this guide:

Right... Firstly id mask off the vent indents on the dash just uncase you slip!

Take your radio and centre Tray out.

Remove two Torx T-20 screws from the left and right of the fascia and 2 i think from above (use a torch!)

IF you have climate, youll need to remove two from underneath either side of that. Either use a small screwdriver/wrench or take out your ash tray so you can get enough room to put your driver in.

Take the fascia out. Unplug the Rear demster and airbag light.

Now with the whole lot out, theres now space to get your hand into the centre vents. Use your fingers or be careful with a screwdriver to pop the vents out by pushing them toward the rear of the car. When theyre out you can use a screwdriver to gently unlip the surrounds.

When youve done, make sure the vents are straight and the small lip on the chrome surround lines up with the one on the dash and simply push in untill it clicks, guiding it in correctly with your hand behind the dash. If you come accross resistance at this point, the vent is not quite aligned with the rubber pipe so try giveing it a wiggle!

Then re-assemble your dash.

Damn, that's freakin annoying! Which bulbs did you get? H7s? I thought pre-facelift with single headlights used h4, and facelift h7's, but I'm probably wrong :shrug:

I might give the gear surround a quick wipe with some emery cloth tomorrow... It's a tad too shiny for me. Would of preferred a brushed aluminium look. :gay:

Are they the same type of metal coating as the gear surround?

I was considering dulling them down a bit with some emery paper to give it a 'brushed aluminium' effect...it just seems a bit too blingy at the moment, but I guess it may grow on me ;)

I guess at least you have some new things to add to your 'Mods so far' section of your sig :D
