JaseW Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 17 hours ago, Nink said: I’ve put them up in the loft now but basically if you imagine the hole the blind spot light goes Into, it has a tab left and right you release but it also has like teeth (5 I think) which just grip which aren’t on a tab. So you can’t squeeze them In - they leave a mark. You can just see it if you look in the gap between the light and the mirror cover. link is above from wrex. Edit: if you look at my first picture zoom in on the silver cap and you can see the 2 holes left behind. Not a massive issue I just thought they might be vizible in the eye line. Cool i will have a look for Wrex's post. Cheers You mean those two bits I have circled in yellow below? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseW Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Just looking on the Blackvue site at Dashcams and noticed they offer discounts for car clubs and remember reading a post in here that someone asked if they did or not, plus Becs used to run a group buy on here a good few years back. I dont mind going through the laborious task of asking them if I can blag a group buy or discount again if there are others interested at all...... What are your thoughts? I always ask for a discount on everything i buy so ill be asking for myself anyway, but if I can blag a group discount for us all then I will.

I've purchased the DR750x ready for when my car arrives unfortunately, but I am contemplating providing Blackvue with a further 169 of my hard earned British to extend it to include the cm100lte cloud module. So blagging a group discount would be a godsend for me 👍 JaseW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But another forum member has taken up the mantle and is actually working on this atm and is in contact with Blackvue trying work out a group buy deal for forum members. If it comes off I’ll be posting it up in the Group Buy section so keep a look out. So I think let’s see what happens with that one first. I or the member working on it will keep you posted. 👍 MK1GTI, Speedy27, Scudgie and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy27 Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 I bought one of these Faraday pouches the other day for £4.80 off Amazon, hopefully will make things a little more secure. To my surprise I've just had another sent through the post so I've got two for the price of one, happy days. If anyone wants one, not trying to be a seller, more of a favour then message me.

I appreciate this has only come about as a double delivery and you’re trying to save someone some money, but it’s still a sale.

From Ali-express see how it fits if and when I get the R Let us know how it fits and sensitivity etc. The ‘Installation auxiliary tools’ description is amusing. Sounds like an engineering job rather than sticking a bit of plastic to a screen. 😂 MK1GTI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlo Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Well with a trip to the lakes planned next week and no longer having an estate I have bit the bullet and bought some roof bars. The annoying thing is I had a set of genuine VW bars for my previous mk7 hatches which I sold as I never anticipated getting another. It would appear they fit the mk8. Anyway I can’t justify spending £250+ on genuine bars given the little use they get so I decided to order these https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel4_tab.php/roofbars/cruz_airo_t_118cm_black_aluminium_roof_bars_2_bars_no_925_773/Qx%40w%2C6M4gNax5vN1Yv0vegd3uHKiyTp7b1lQ%40~g}}MNf3rc52jF1PQNwoVzV.SrDK I will post up thoughts when they arrive. They get decent reviews so hopefully they will do the job for the couple of times a year I use them. JaseW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i may have to look at something like this too. As the kids get older they seem to want to take their entire stack of toys and teddies with them everywhere........lol Darlo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
