Cruise install actually looks really tidy, Dan. Sweet stuff.

I've just been offered an XS manifold for the LCR.

I thiiiink it's one of these two:
1. http://xs-power.com/audi-turbo-manifolds-12.htm

2. http://xs-power.com/audi-turbo-manifolds-1.htm

Minimal info online and no real reviews mean I think I'll give it a miss unless anyone has info to the contrary :P

There are always sets on Ebay and on the FB VAG pages, plus usually a few sets on the various relevant forums. Just keep an eye out and a set you like the look of will pop up.

Looks good Dan! Same setup as the seat?

Is that about cruise control mate?

If so it's a different system, the one you have is all controlled within the stalk then activated with vcds whereas this is all ecu controlled from standard I've just moved the buttons around as they are normally built in to the original 182 steering wheel which I couldn't use (nicely) on this wheel.

This is genuinely amazing. I have a fibreglass bonnet with a heavy lighting assembly (5+ kg). Recently, the bonnet opened on me because I forgot to close the latches. As far as I could tell, there was no damage to the bonnet and only minor damage to the windscreen which would probably have been ok had it not already been cracked.

Yesterday I noticed some puzzling dents on the roof. As it turns out, they match up with the lights on the bonnet. The pic below shows how far the bonnet will open - it's resting on the windscreen. And yet, it bent a good 3 feet further back, the lights hit the roof and bounced back with absolutely no damage to the bonnet. I'm astounded by how flexible it is.

If they are fitted, they must work.

They are not fitted.

MOT pass (Y)

Unless you have modern ultra-mega-hyper-lights... We all saw the pictures of that transformation!

And I must say the washer blanks have really transformed the look of the car again! Do you have a before and after so I can see what the difference isn't? :P
