Hi [mention]Raph71 [/mention] thanks for making the time to have a read through my ramblings!

The paint I used on my brake calipers was Candy Flaming Orange, it came a as kit with the base coat, the orange candy and a 2k clear coat

And the textured spray was from my local car paint shop, ProXL Tex Textured Black Aerosol. Also available on eBay

Popped out for a wee trip today to pick a few essentials for my van Image
Spare engine, DSG upgrade for my existing engine and the final parts for my OEM Xenon headlight upgrade. Sorted!

So, made a pair of temporary headlight adapter looms to test the Touran gas discharge headlights before carrying on with the wiring and install.

The wire sticking out is for testing the shutter motor.

Image

They work and so does the shutter motor, result!

And they’re a little brighter/whiter than the old Halogens Image

Image

Now to make up the new looms for the front and rear levelling sensors, the control module and the headlight looms! Just need the wiring and pins to arrive to complete the OEM look.

Possibly down the turbo route. Superchargers sound awesome, however I’d need to remortgage the house to buy one!

Hi.

Would it be possible to get a copy of this Excel file.

Looking to confirm my wiring against a known good.

Trying to get the wiring sorted out now.

Finally got round to finishing off installing my heated seats.

Image

Realised after repinning the plug that the connections were for climatronic. I had planned to upgrade the air con to climatronic but changed my mind, so…

Image
Back out, repinned for climatic and power wire added

Image

And… ahhhh… nice and warm!
