    Hmm... this is where Alleyroo would come in handy Chuckle I'll make an educated guess - and say they were around 'Warslow', which is near Leek Yes

    ST13 8UN Stick out tongue, you're fairly close though mate so will let you off. It's on the road that runs from Leek to Warslow.

    If the weather's good this weekend mate then we'll have to get a few better pics (with the camera set right for once lol). Will get the TT rears on there first.

    A few updates from the last few weeks.


    First to come was the r32 full leather interior:






    Then yesterday we finally fitted the lupo mirrors:



    :








    Goody

     

    mate were the lupo mirrors a good and easy fit?  are the electrics still working in them?  im liking the look of them to be fair...

    If your leathers are heated did you have to wire the looms up yourself or did you have heated seats before hand?  Im intrested as i have to plan this mod for the weekend lol

    Cheers in advance

    They took me and Alleyroo about 30 mins to fit once sprayed up! Bought them from a forum member called bigtallbloke on here, and they come heated and electric already, with just the wire ready to plug in from where you remove the old ones. Drop him a PM as he makes them up from demand Yes

    They are heated seats... but they aren't in my car lol! Didn't have heated before hand you see, and I didn't really fancy retro fitting the heated seat loom etc. Let me know how you get on with this though as it could be useful info for the future.

    hello mate... i got a quote for two lupo wing mirrios for 52quid a pair frome bay what do you think of the price?

    Iv found out about the looms aswell.. a chap on here told me whats best... he said go for the retrofit looms as all golf have the looms wrapped around in a harness tucked away around the trims and to get to the right looms is a slight hassle.  least u dont have to faff about with the retro, jus wire them in

    might wait till winter for mine though not to sure...

    Hi mate,

    It all depends on what your getting for your 52 quid.. if its just the complete mirror set up from a Lupo then bear in mind you will still need to modify the base plates and wiring before fitting to your mk4 Yes

    As for the retro wiring, cheers for that - I'll have a look around and see what sort of prices they go for / availability!

    Goody

    Your car's very very nice.. . wheels really suit it, not a massive fan of deep dish alloys but those look fantastic. You need rear headrests though!

    Cheers mate, I wasn't 100% sure on the wheels at first tbh, but I like them because you don't see many cars with them on. The rear seats do have headrests though... Chuckle

    Yeah I see your point now... those pics further up this page DON'T have head rests in lol. But that was the old recaros, and I think we had removed them to transport a Mahoosiv mirror Chuckle
