it's a J plate, so phase2 but just a shortage of people breaking them I guess. Asked over on 205drivers' and asked pug_306 on here so waiting on his response fingers crossed Smile

I've seen that - the pin layout on that is different - but looking again just now, I'm wondering if the top two pins are for heated mirrors, so I could use something like that and just disregard the other whitey coloured plug, as presumably that's what it's for?

I've asked a few people now anyway so will wait on the outcome of that first!

Mine's like this:

Big grin

I used Plasticare to dye the trims. Works brilliant, really impressed, expensive though

Car looks great rikky!

Another vote for plasticare, good shizzle! Although I'm sure it's main ingredient is boot polish! Razz

forgot to update with my wheels photo Razz

i've bought new Denji driving lamps which I'll be fitting soon, got my bonnet cable to sort out and finally got a door loom so that's all back in place. Just need to sort the main pillar weatherstrip seals out and refit them somehow

Also, had my wheels refurbed by my mate (Ashton Powder Coating), they're titanium silver which is a minor amount darker than standard so they look just off-silver enough to be different, but they are fairly sparkly which you can't really see until the light hits them. I would never have had this finish done but after seeing the samples at his place it was the only way to go Smile



(LED inspection lamp deliberately held to them to illustrate the sparkle - not this obvious in person!)



they look brilliant when the sun hits them Hyper

it looks amazing at the moment but i can't get it out of the garage fully to get some decent shots. gonna take it down to the workshop Friday night and sort the exhaust out and get the front & rear screens put in, then hopefully it's just brakes to sort and it's nearly done

    Well spent the last few days sorting a few last bits out like the interior trim, door seals and weatherstrips, and a few other minor niggles.

    Going to take it to the workshop at weekend and sort the exhaust out, investigate the sticky bonnet catch and sort my 306 twin-horns out Smile

    Few other minor things to do - not too happy with the front ride height, looks a bit on stilts, 60mm gap at the front and rear between the top of the tyre and the bottom of the arch trim - which at the rear doesn't look bad, but at the front it's a bit high for me. Will investigate it..

    Also fitted my Denji driving lamps temporarily, which seem to fit perfect, so pretty happy with how it's all come together Smile

    Well this weekend was mostly successful, being that I got the car on the trailer down to my mates workshop to get the screens both fitted, and the exhaust finally sorted out (cut about a 4" section from the downpipe, refitted the flange at the end and welded up - also welded a lambda boss in).

    Had chance to get it running properly and can happily confirm everything's running fine it seems! Gauges all seem to work, the RPM hits maximum as I start it but settles to the right RPM afterwards (did the tacho-solder mod instead of the coilpack one)

    Only thing I noticed is the oil pressure sensor threaded T piece leaking a bit so will try to resolve that

    Also, on the standard gti6 setup, pulling the brown thermostat switch out triggers the fans at full speed. On mine, it's not doing anything, but the temperature didn't get remotely warm anyway.

    With that in mind, I'm running the diesel twin-fan setup with the proper relays etc. Anyone know if it should still trigger it? I know the fans work as I tested them before fitting them. Just didn't want to let it get hot before them kicking in and relying on the temperature gauge for the first time.

    The only downside to the weekend is I smashed my freshly fitted and painted front bumper to bits on the edge of the trailer after a little incident with the winch. So need to get a new one and get it painted up Sad

    Happy though overall that it runs and drives! Quite juddery at low rpm in first but I think it's more of a solid-mount vibration rather than clutch issue.

    Bit unsure about the rear centre section heatshield that runs under the fuel tank. Does that bolt to the bracket that wraps around the beam? (The one I vividly remember throwing in the bin!)

    Pics..

    Makes me want to dig mine out and put it back together. Looks great, been looking for a front valance for ages, they seem to command strong money!

    Bought a super clean auto with 20k miles on, was going to treat that to a front valance

    you can get non original ones, I'm tempted by one, like from here: clicky

    my front ride height looks a touch high, I think I'll have a look at what others are doing in this situation, suprised really as the engine must be heavier than standard Unsure although I've got the battery in the boot now
