@eski and yes the the door sill protectors just stick on - make sure you clean the sill well, mark up position with tape on a dry fit, and try get as flush as possible - tucking the top front leading edge under the door seal before hinging the rest down - you’ll only get one go at this! Also note the rear ones are chamfered- so make sure you get them the right way round! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Osram Dynamic indicators fitted now - make a huge difference - at least 200% brighter as claimed. Trick here is to run a trim removal tool in between the bottom of the old indicator and the black bottom half of the mirror casing to lever it out (I should have taken photos!) Also added a full coverage car trunk mat / boot trim kit to stop dog hairs embedding in the carpets! AliExpress of course! Packing creases should hopefully come out with heat in the summer!

Thanks @Booth11 I agree on the Pedalbox - the car came from a main dealer (24k miles) so has a 2 year VW approved warranty with it - I actually bought the Mountune Stage 1 remap, then bailed and decided to be sensible - at least for 6 months! Unless this is just me, what people don’t tell you about the Pedalbox is that it affects reverse too (logical really) - I have it on City +2 currently and you are either stationary or flying backwards!

Thanks - MagSafe was key over the OEM where I’ve read phones slide off on spirited driving! So the rear doors were a bit of a pain - the most useful info was Part 3 here: https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/my-pure-white-gtd-dsg-5-door.318877/page-3#post-6616107 But also - https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/how-to-retro-fit-the-door-exit-warning-lights-from-the-vw-passat-2013.326032/ A little here - https://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/23678-rob2k68-lapiz-r-collection-build-thread/page/5/#comment-383891 And a video here - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5_SbWwfFSp0. Between them I sussed it out! N.b.

Firstly I’d like to thank you all for all the advice posted here - it is invaluable to those of us starting on our R journey!
 I’d been looking on and off for a Mk7.5 Lapiz Blue with Cadiz wheels for about 9 months. When push came to shove and I was given the formal go ahead to switch out my wife’s 2015 Fiesta, I found and bought the car within 24 hours! Once I knew the colour, the wheel size and the all important climate windscreen, the choice dropped to a pool of one! So the purpose of this post is to give back a little by sharing the wireless charging solution I came up with. Firstly it had to be for an iPhone 15 / 15 pro and support MagSafe, and needed its own power supply as I have a wireless CarPlay unit in the cubby too. The result was: The charging pad came from Amazon for £20.99 - Magnetic Wireless Car Charger... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CFZVPR9K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I then used a rubber adhesive to attach both the rubber insert into the cubby and the mat itself on to the tubber insert. A small hole in the back and then a ‘12V to 5V/ 3A Voltage Converter with Dual USB Adapter Connectors’ for £6.99 provided the power - https://amzn.eu/d/8eMyNZJ Poking the wire down the passenger trim side I needed a usb extension lead - but should have just bought the 1m version of the MagSafe charging pad: Power converter wired in at the fuse box… Connect up in the passenger footwell to complete the install: The list of other mods is huge from dual LED lights in the boot, Lockwood sill protectors, various plastic covers, washer funnel update, bonnet catch fix, emergency triangle, a Pedalbox Pro, to emergency lights in the doors etc etc: And a shed load of coding using ODBEleven… Awaiting fitment - Osram Dynamic mirror indicators and rear footwell lights The car itself: Thank you all again!
