Those lights look awesome sprayed red! Do it

[alexperkins]

One is damaged so at present, that isnt an option.

I thought you already had a set of Hella's Alex?

Can't wait to see what you do with them.
Have you fitted the set of LED's on Greg's Polo yet?

Ben,

[alexperkins]

i did, but i sold them as i wasnt too keen

indeed its gonna be interesting!

nope...thats for sometime in the future

[6N2 GTI 00]

Keep us all updated

[alexperkins]

Well, after a few hours work, I now have the cruise control fully installed. All properly wired in with the appropriate plugs and loom specifics

Works a treat too, so thats another extra to add to the list!

[6N2 GTI 00]

How much did it cost all together?
Its a shame they didnt come with it as standard really

[alexperkins]

Bear in mind I got the stalk at a heavily discounted cost, overall price was about £65 with the wiring and the necessary plugs and heatshrink crimps. Not bad at all I'd say

I believe it was a factory option, but I cant find my literature at the moment to check.

[emma_88]

Excellent stuff Alex. I didn't know cruise control was an optional extra mind.

What's next?

[neilGTI]

Alex, do you fancy doing a how to guide on the cruise control ???

I have dreamed about cruise control so much and would love to get it in my polo but i wouldnt have a clue on part or wiring

[alexperkins]

I have a relatively decent guide that I used. Ill see if I can adjust it to suit when I have some time.

As for next Emma, im not too sure atm. I need to get the calipers painted and the wheels refurbished. I might be looking to get the front end resprayed as the paintwork hasnt held up to well

[alexperkins]

Fixed a rattle I had tonight When I refitted the brake caliper, one of the springs hadnt seated on the pad properly, so it was rattling. Problem solved

Where did you get your aerial from and is it fully-functioning? I'm looking to fit one to my Cupra R.

[alexperkins]

got it from Mike M and yes it is - though you need to fit an aerial booster

A chap on ebay has started selling proper ones thats are a straight swap. Heres the link

I don't see cruise control on my German or UK extras lists. Cool mod - Was there much terror on the first test run with it?
