I really like these Toledos and I think you have done some nice mods, the quality looks good aswell.

plumbing today

did a bit of plumbing today on the toledo lot harder than household plumbing lol.
n249 bypassed the hard way!
pipe for boost gauge installed. omg how hard is it to get this through the bulkhead and up behind the dash it took me about 2 hours and i wrecked one of the missus bbq skewers(opps);)
must say the noise from the dv has become a lot crisper, im still running stock bosch dv and standard air box/filter
any how heres a pic for you all to enjoy

I have one of these myself only in silver. Did you fit the rear Cupra R seats as well? What's the N249 bypass?

Where did you get the gearknob from mate?

Was it easy to fit?

Cheers.

gearknob was from the evil bay for about 50 quid with some change, fitting is easy three grub screws under the gaitor, run the cable inside and conect to a switch live. i must say the quality is top notch and matches the other illumination realy nicley.

That looks nice, did you carbon vinyl it yourself? What vinyl did you use? Have tried doing my door switches and the edges look nowhere near this smooth!

yes its all my own handywork, got the vinyl from our freindly auction site, it's not the expensive stuff as i've had some shocking results with m3. as for your edge's try to degrease the bits your doing as it helps alot and once degreased dont put your fingers on it, this is the way i do it- 1 wash part in hot,hot water and washing up liquid : this will remove oil's on the surface. -2 wipe over with a lint free cloth soaked in white spirit : this will remove the fairy and leave a good surface to stick the vinyl to use heat gun to strech vinyl were needed,
allways use fresh blade to cut the stuff.

the bits ive done turned out so well that i now charge the lads at work to bits of there's.
quite the money spinner and pays for other mods;)
