Ye they are originally for the 106 mate just dont see many cars with them on.

Pug106-GTI · 16th November 2011, 20:26

ah ok mate, i never seen any with them before my new gti has one on it but wasnt sure if it was ment for it or if it was from something else lol

Picked car up tonight from garage and unfortunately the nissens radiator I bought off a mate had an hole in the centre of it so that's no good.
So put the standard one back on and decided to put a new thermostat on as well as a new temp sensor and these are known to fail.
Also had my door strap fitted so no more clicking and now the door stays open when you open it.
Will be going for a 1.5 diesel radiator now as they are bigger so will keep things cooler and will be upgrading my cooling fan to a twin fan.

to use the 1.5D raidator you must relocate the ECU (if its the standard one) as the expansion take sits there... or get a custom slim one but that will be costly...

Oh right crap never realised that mate might have to look at something else that will be a straight fit. Cheers for the thumbs up on this mate.

Cool sounds like a good idea considering the vts and gti don't come with any but am I not right in saying the VTRs come with cup holders?

Cheers.
Just to add this is connected to my stereo just can't see the USB cable.
I drilled a hole in the console underneath the holder and ran the USB cable underneath the console and up to the back of the stereo.

Still having it mapped at chip wizards just waiting till after Xmas so I can get the bodies and then have it mapped that way I'm not paying to have it mapped twice.

Not much to update yet apart from a new head unit I got.
Thought I would trat myself to one before Christmas and considering I've just fitted the iPhone holder in the car I needed to have a unit that I could control my iPhone through so went for a Sony that has iPhone compatable Bluetooth hands free music streaming etc.
Very pleased with it and that's about it till next year guys.

Cheers mate ye I could do you one as I've still got the wood and some alcantra material left over but wouldn't no what price to charge for one if these.
There is a guide on here on how to do them yourselve tho.

CarlosVT · 28th December 2011, 22:55

I'm awful at making things like that so it would probably come out rubbish! lol. Have a think of a price and let me know mate? Give me a PM or something

ldavies · 6th March 2012, 20:34

Well not updating this for a while.
Not really done much at min except for putting a rear wiper and motor on and just bought an omp corsia steering wheel with boss.
Sure everyone knows what they look like but will stick some pics up when fitted.
Next on my list is to get my dash flocked.

ldavies · 8th March 2012, 19:47

Just bought a blue rallye carpet of 106 owners hopefully that should arrive in next couple of days and will be fitting the new omp steering wheel tomorrow.
