I was watching Mischa yesterday and then....

The only difference is that car on that video have OEM ones and mine is 3D printed

also mine will be ~5mm wider.

One side completed, ignore alignment and colors

That looks like a lot of fun, doubt I will ever make it there but this year I am going to get a bit more kit for the play station so I can do some track work at home.

On a more Sedentary process I am today updating my OBD11 With all the Build Codes that @serdar_18fr kindly shared with me. so that i have a complete build list in the APP.

I've never driven on the Nurburgring (I dont want to gamble with my own car), but just going there is such a cool experience. Everything around it just breathes "racing". Also the scenery around the Ring is stunning

How did you do that? and what are the benefits of this update?

tracktoy · Feb 17, 2026

From the My Car screen, select Info, at the bottom of the page you can see Equipment this is where I have typed in all the Build Codes.

Benefit is for me that all my codes are stored in one place and easy to find, does not offer any benefit to OBD11 Application.

11 year mark MOT Passed just needed rear drop links replaced and Cat warmed up.

Garage owner enjoyed taking her out to warm the cat up and called me to ask to take the car away before he lost his license

Some good news IT STOPPED RAINING and better still I managed to find the cables for the Passenger Seat Sensor so I can now refit the passenger seat sensor into the Passenger Bucket seat, i also saw the heated seat part but that is not something I am going to refit But I do have plans in the future to use the buttons as on off switches for other devices (but that is a way off yet).

Just to share some info with others as I have removed my rear seats completely I can confirm the seat occupancy sensor (my 2014 car came with this as standard) works in the same way as the Drivers seat, basically if the seat belt is buckled up then its assumed somebody is sitting there.

Very nice! I did the same on my mk4 wheel, but wrapped them with pin striping tape

My friend painted those parts to piano black using "water transfer printing" or however it is translated to English

glossiness and finish of those parts is like OEM

Aber i have OEM Button Part in black

I polished the stock tips on my recent purchase. A 2017 Leon Cupra 300 before work.

I am definitely in my late forties.

They look great seeing as they are nearly 9 years old.

So my car decided to not start today, no previous warnings or anything, drove fine yesterday.
Was worried i left something on but apparently it all switches off once locked?
Anyway I've ordered a new battery as the original is a moll efb 69ah, new one i ordered from tayna, bosch agm 70ah 760cca.
The AA came out and checked that the battery was charging just old.
Hopefully the new one works without issues.

Fingers crossed that sorts it.

Don't forget to do the battery coding in VCDS as you are changing battery capacity & type (EFB > AGM). Its not mandatory, but highly advisable to get the most out of your new battery

Yes i will do thanks, it may not be done for a few days but that should be ok right?
I see you have the 72ah maybe i should have gotten that rather than the 70ah.

Few days is no issue. Its to make sure that the battery charging system makes the best use of the battery. I doubt the 2Ah will make much of a difference in real life :happy:
