Not expensive when the Neuspeed one I bought was circa £120, but reduces the throw another ~20% further than the TT one

My DIY one was free. Managed to do it at work and seems closer than the TT one.

where did that come from?

I saw this on another forum and thought it would be a good one to put up on here.

Just post up mods which are decent and cheap, for those of us feeling the squeeze (£).

Rules are as follows: Please post the price (must be sub £100), a short description, a picture (if available) and a part number/place to get it from

If we can keep it a simple and informative thread, maybe it'll become sticky - so let's spread the knowledge peeps.

I will start with the Polo rear aero wiper (£14, part numbers 6Q6 955 425A(Blade), 6Q6 955 707C(Arm), 6Q6 955 435B)

Audi TT FWD short shifter. Shortens shift but about 20% (£22, 8N0 711 051)



is this a main dealer only part?

 

[gezmeister]

Just been reading through this, couple of questions,

Can someone confirm the tt short shifter fits the 6 speed 'box on my cupra?

Does anyone have pics of the cupra r gauge holder, the standard one?

Thanks

changing the rear number plate lamps to l.e.d's is quick and cheap. you can pick up a set of festoon(sp?) lights from h*****ds for about £10

i made this:

made if using the old vent, taking out the bits of plastic and then using gauge shads as my holder. glued this in using hot glue gun then used fibreglass/filler to smooth off the finiish and sprayed it sating black.
