Mud flaps fitted yesterday evening.

Still needs a good wash though when it stops raining...

Haven't done anything but my AliExpress painted sideskirts turned up.

They are actually pretty good and the paint match is alright. Not bad for £125

Gave it a clean today and removed all the wheels for the first time since I got the car in January to give them a proper clean.
Also fitted the metal sports pedals & footrest that I got. They were from AliExpress but very good quality and fit. Took about 2 weeks to arrive. Can just see them in the last photo
Do you have the link to the metal sports pedals and footrest? The ones I seen on Aliexpress says it's for left hand drive.

Hi....
I've fitted these. I think they're a bit more expensive, but they're excellent quality and the fit is really snug.

After soundproofing the doors a few weeks ago, I did the rear wheel arches and finished off the boot floor. Made a big difference to noise and music. I also upgraded the interior LED boot light and installed another one on the opposite side. Here are links to what I used.....

@Don1961 Good job, I did mine earlier in the year and it's a very underrated thing to do. I plan on doing under the carpet and the roof. If it turns out to make a reasonable difference I'll let you know.

With the light, did you just tap into the two wires and run them to the other side?

Hi. Thanks. Yeah.... tapped off the two wires for original light, ran them over the top and then two bullet connectors onto new light. The new light plugs into original light socket. Checked with OBDeleven afterwards and no fault codes. You have to lengthen original hole by about a mm to fit new light

There's a hole already there?
Those lights look exactly like the ones I just fitted in my footwell and they required some trimming too.

No. Sorry. The hole on the right hand side, for the original light. You have to cut out the hole for the new light on the left hand side.

Yesterday I've finally installed an ESC switch on my REVO tuned 1.8tsi. I say REVO tuned cause to be able to have full power with second gear, i need to have ESC switched to sport. So for each time i needed full power in second gear, I had to go from the infotainment to the Menu -> Vehicle -> Setup -> ESC system -> ESC Sport
And now...

Collected the car on Tuesday from the dealership :cool: but only had my first proper day to play with it today (yay weekends!)

Lots still to do as time/money allows, but kicked things off with a quick go with my new obdeleven - have barely scratched the surface of things I'll tweak, but started with the usual people recommend on here;

Enabled 30 colour ambient light menu
Throttle set to responsive
Enabled park pilot
Alarm chirp on lock/unlock + menu option
Auto fold mirrors on lock (short press)
Needle sweep
Oil temp + refuel quantity is DIS
Fan speed on auto

Couldn't for the life of me get the comfort signals to change to 5 blinks though?

Then my first hardware change - fitted sequential indicators - which IMO greatly improves the look of the car. Partly because I like the sweeping signal, but also because the grey tint blends into the mirror cover
