yea i had to take mine off about 3 times to get it right lol really annoying but worth it

u got it all on now?? i reckon u will need to trim the lower back section of bumper to go round the pipe work not the actual bumper but one of the little slats that are visible when the lower grill sections are removed

u need to the cooler as far back and as close to the rads as possible else it fowls the bumper some of us even trimmed bits of the bumper behind to allow the pipe work to fit round it

what error codes u got coming up?

I'm sure that the b5 had black window trims just fit some of these rather then going threw the hassle of prepping or wrapping the chrome ones

the only issue i use to have with mdf is it acts like a sponge dampness /water is attracted to it then it goes all soft and crappy, try coating the surface in pva glue that could help make the wood sort of water proof or at least last a bit longer

looking nice chap i think im going for one of these after the passat but i want a black one

Guys I'm planning on doing this one evening this week witch is easiest to do front end off/ moved forward anc remove pully while its fitted or just removal of alternator and remove the pulley off the car ?? Pro's or cons??

Cheers brad
