    Can cost anywhere from $5000 to $15,000. So far I spent $8000 to get mine this way.

    And another $2000 to get my engine this way.

    Thanx, VW parts are cheap & easy to work on, especially when you work on it yourself.

    I am debating if I should get the lightest lamin-x for my taillights or slightly darker. Do you know which one you purchased? Tint, gun smoke, or smoked? I want to go lighter than what you have. Thanks! Tail Light Covers | Lamin-x Protective Films

    Got the retro kit finished up this morning. Definitely had some hard moments figuring stuff out (had a field day putting the headlights back together), but all in all I learned a lot and we'll see how it turns out when I actually get to drive at night.

    Also gave her a bath.

    bought T10 sockets and will be installing footwell lights front and back. I just realized that 2012 2 series don't have any footwell lights installed. Now that I have that access of the blue wire from the A pillar might as well do this mod.

    This is awesome! Where did you tap it and did you use a switch? Thanks!

    Hi. I tapped the negative to the blue wire from the A pillar and the positive to the active 12v. No switch needed it will turn on when you are at close proximity and stays on until you turn on the ignition

    Another happy customer. Thank You, sfv41901. Just need to get ride align. Probably schedule next Saturday. Lifetime alignment is good :). I blame this mod on Burnaj. Thanks

    When I was at it. My Stage 10 came. Weird it light up when you plug in charger. I need to get some double sided tape so it doesn't spin around. I blame this on Burnaj. Thanks
