Yes I used them years ago to do some bits on my 1.8 16v

I think it was the amount of lacquer and time I spent flatting it back before hitting it with my DA. If you saw how dusty my workshop is youd be surprised how none of it got in th finish

I'm happy which is all that matters to me, being a central part a slight colour mismatch is less important than if it was a wing etc I think

How much hassle was it to do?

Fitted my diy sprayed cup spoiler and new plates

The cup spoiler

Darker but only in some lights, I can live with it for £14.99 and my time

Think its 10 mins

I'm spraying my cup spoiler but I'm a bit worried that as I'm flatting the orange peel of a less than perfect coat of lacquer I might rub through. Can I give it another coat the flat back again or is that not advisable

I'm currently drying my footwells out, rather than remove the front seats I've just propped the rear carpet up having dried up as much with towels then left a dehumidifier running 24/7

Let us know how you get on, will be interesting to see the outcome

Doesnt look far off actually, I'll get it flatted back and polished before I fit it then get some photos up

I've not compared it in daylight yet but I think it will be a bit darker what with 17 years of fading on my car. Anything will look better than it being black gold.

Well I've done it, its come out a little orange peely so I'll leave it 24hrs then cautiously wet sand it with p2000 and hope I've got enough depth of lacquer to get a flat finish

Thanks mate, no sat nav so that explains the plug. The rest I will forget about as everything works as it should

Everything appears to be working but I've found these cut wires under the dash, wrapped bundle of cable under the ashtray and a spare plug below the cc panel. Could it all be from an aftermarket radio?

Would I be best to get in contact with their insurer then, I was just concerned they wouldn't see it in our favour like our own insurer

Contacted the insurer now, thanks folks. For future information though how does accident exchange work?

Got our Tiguan reversed into last night which has pushed the one parking sensor in and smashed the bumper a bit. Having never made a claim before I'm unsure how to go about it as I want it put back to how it was. Do I go through my insurer or theirs? Can I get it fixed at VW to ensure...

Really? What's that all about?

Get in it and take it for a drive, guarantee the wheel would come off then. *DONT DO THIS!*

Damn that's C4 and C5 I need now

What wheel sealant did you use? Just had my turinis refurbed and would like to put something on them

This is where I find out how much my 17 year old paint has faded

Yes that's the ones, from Enniskillen.

Has anyone tried WLW Auto paints that sell on Ebay, just wondered what their matches are like

Solved! Broken wire going into the uch plug.

SOLVED IT! It was a broken wire just off the uch plug, see photos. Cant believe how long this has taken me to find such an obvious fault.

I got pretty frustrated, I will try again

I've tried but I cant follow it once it goes behind the dash, be handy to know what pins it is in the plug
