Its wild cherry so a metallic, we have matching mismatched bumpers on the drive now with my faded flamer bumper

Just had our Tiguan back from the VW approved accident repair place, the bumper paint match is pretty iffy

You need a festoon bulb, I upgraded mine to an led from Ebay 36mm if I remember correctly but there is some tolerance in the fitting- I think even a 38mm fits

Wasn't there a plastic sheet originally

That's what I did too. What are the rain covers like as i havent got any?

I siliconed mine in desperation, I'll just slide a plastic scraper or something between them if it wont come apart. The only issue I have now is when I had a speaker out that had got wet from the above issue, water is sitting between the door and door card in the watertight pocket I've now...

Do you have a link for that?

I'm sure they're meant to have a plastic sheet inside the door aren't they?

Yeah thanks for that, I wasnt convinced until I ran a hose over it and heard the dripping and water running over the inner door seal

Yes mate you were right about it being why mine leaked into the footwell too

I have this on my passenger side, it gets into the speaker connections causing them to corrode. When I hose my car off I can hear it running and dripping inside the door card.

Somethings up and I dont like it! I'd like to get it back to how it should be as I'm anal. Isnt the smaller plug meant to be plugged in there too? Could I just get a new resistor and reconnect it but then that would leave that spare connector wouldn't it? 182s have a different set up dont they

Do you think I'll need to get the beam off, dont fancy that!

While tidying up my sills earlier this year I noticed a bit of corrosion around where the rear beam mounts to the body, is it anything to worry about or will a wire brush and some electrox sort it?

My 172 had the original head unit and speakers when I got it, sound was terrible so I replaced the split front speakers with Alpine SXE-1325S but the rears are now farting so need the same. I'd like to improve it a bit more, nothing silly and I'd like to keep the original head unit so what...

Only cup packed 182s had the larger bolt spacing on the front hubs, 172 cup shocks and the wishbones will be fine. I think those are the only wishbones listed now anyway. So yes should all be fine.

Yes tracking on mine too, its hedge hunting at the moment

What was I worrying about? Pass with no advisories and with a recorded mileage of 88 888!

Took it for its MOT to be done tomorrow, fingers crossed!

Not keen on the headlights

Oil and all filters changed, new spark plugs (I think the old ones were the originals), and a drip tray fitted. MOT guys will never notice my oil leak now🤞 🤔

@Dr Jekyll as you've been delving around the scuttle area do yo have any idea what going on with my heater plugs?

Proplates

I thought you may be from your name

That's the Welsh border of Herefordshire for you

No I meant it's not bad for the gain rather than the other way around. I think it's my local dialect confusing things😂

No not really for the gains

That's my spring/summer job too

Actually now I've seen that I can see where you're coming from

Add new wishbone, inner tie rods and track rod ends and it will feel like new
