Yeah, it's the same on my Mk7 R. LEDs all round except the boot and the glovebox. WTF?!?!? They put 2 blue ones in each front door. I'd have settled for 1 blue one and better lights in the boot. Time for a Bold Sport order...

Went for a drive up to Baw Baw national park
Installed a unibrace XB last week and was a little sceptical that it would do anything but can certainty feel the difference, car feels nicely planted

Pulled apart my dash to locate an annoying sound on fast corners. Noted someone had once tried the same but must not have had correct tools and only manged to break clips etc.
Found 10 cents on top of radio and 5 cents stuck in air vent.
Also removed and refitted a front tweeter surround as it had a big gap, this was mentioned on some service papers from 5 years ago but looks like they never fixed it.
