Paul Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Not stricly all retro fits, but definite improvements. <font color="red"> S</font>3 * TT petals set * Touareg Torch * Led number plate bulbs. * SE HCB-30 bluetooth to SatNav Plus * Stealth Geodesy Plus/inc hidden GPS antenna. * Philips Blue Vision W5W side light bulbs. * Philips Vision Plus H7 Main beam bulbs. * Osram Diadem PY21W indicator PY21W bulbs front/rear. Considering: Aero wipers front, Aero rear (Polo arm/touran blade combo) Also considering a second set of Philips Vision Plus H7 for the fogs, or switching them from the headlights, and trying something PIAA for main beam Set of Mitchelin Pilot sport tyres, probably PS2's May tidy up and paint rear brake calipers red to match Porkers. May change rear brake pads, possibly EBC red stuff, or go the whole hog and get the Tarox 300mm rear conversion I may also wire up the missing rear foglight, to make it symetrical, rather than just the one. Performance mods, etc * AmD remap * AmD Dv * AmD Porsche Brakes * AmD Spacers * AmD retro fitted Audi Cruise control * Samcos * Neuspeed Short Shift (removed) * Modded airbox (removed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallachie Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Aero wipers front, Aero rear (Polo arm/touran blade combo) [/ QUOTE ] I'm interested in some more info on this, because my wipers are doing my fecking nut in just now, they're so noisy. Are those aero wipers like the ones found on the new A3, i.e the all rubber blade type?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Thats the ones Mills. The fronts are expensive, the rear is more acceptable price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Awquard, but doable, with a bit of skin loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harddrive Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 It is the same on the new style as well, and changing the side bulbs in an 8P model is just stupidly difficult as they are really hard to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
