Does anyone have the covered cubby hole in front of the gear stick. If so can you determine the use/advantage of this? I've seen it in pictures but never in the flesh. Is it hinged? Does it click on and off? Is it something I could add? Also just like to be sure that we are all aware there is a cubby hole to the right of steering wheel under the dash. Had the car about a year and a half before I found it while searching for the fuse box.

Any difficulties in doing this? Is it bolted on or glued? If bolted are there pre drilled holes and how was access? I did see a post on this feed I. Believe from a while back guy got this and side skirts fitted and painted for 250 ring a bell for anyone?



Not too difficult. It's fitted with self tapping screws but it does come supplied with bolts and pre drilled holes. However as my car has the winder pack and an enlarged windscreen washer fluid tank access is tight. With this in mind I took the front bumper off which obviously made life much easy I did need an extra pair of hands to hold it still whilst screwing though.

I picked mine up from the dealership. New car day!!!. Absolutely love it but there's a rattle coming from the boot, the mechanics were sorting the rear light out and I think they've broken a vlip on the inner boot trim... they will be fixing it under warranty this week.

Think a triple r splitter may be getting ordered looking at the pics above.

Thought I should put up some before and after pics of my 1.8TSI with the Forge Carbon intake fitted. What do you think ?

Can you feel the extra 50hp?!

But in all seriousness, does it make any difference in performance or just makes sweet induction noise.

Decided to tackle wrapping the lower outside bumper inserts - fiddlyass job but I'm happy with the result. The middle section is a much bigger job for a day when I have nothing else to do....

Looks good, don't think I'd have the patience for it though

Thanks mate. Did wonder if I'd bitten off more than I could chew but once I'd worked out a sequence for the individual parts, it went quite quickly. Unfortunately now the middle grill is looking bare and so my OCD won't let me leave it that way...
