What did you and your MK2 do today?

[richicupra]

Fitted LED number plate bulbs. The clips that hold the whole socket in are turd, so brittle they snapped and resulted in me having to no more nails them back on. Waiting for it to go dark, they better look good haha.

Make sure you have a setting unticked on the mfd because if I select it, it goes back to how it was.

Looks smart pal. How do they fit? Do you have to take the original tips off?

Cost?

Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301135528356&alt=web

£39.99 mate.

They slop over and have a screw nut to tighten up. My twin exhaust doesn't have any tips on.

I see. Mine do so don't think I can fit them.

All you will have on yours is these ones as standard.
Mine are looking tarnished now so might invest in some shiney new ones.

Today I got the cruise control fixed. Just the dashboard damage and I'll be done on my checklist since purchasing a month ago.

Today I tried to wrap my rear boot badge in matte black vinyl....it's ridiculously hard to get it smooth without folds or creases round the edges

This is what it looked like...

Ended up ripping it off again though because I wasn't happy with the finish of it
Ahwel I tried.....

Decent effort.

 

[Minty9]

It was going well until I got to the corners...couldn't get the vinyl to sit right :-/ probably easier if you remove the whole badge but was too much like hard work

I'm a perfectionist and I don't think its too bad to be honest. Looks good in the photo. Give it another go, practice makes perfect

That's the problem, I'm abit of a perfectionist too but I suppose it wasn't too bad for a first attempt at wrapping anything. Cheers though

Think I might take the time to take the badge/handle out completely.

Has anyone ever done this and got any tips? Don't wanna snap any clips!

Not done it myself but if you search for the reversing camera in the badge thread, I think it had details how to remove it in there.
