so looking at continuing the blues from the dials and footwells theme a bit, found this little blue R badge for the front. kinda weird having colour on the outside but leaving it on for a bit. good quality though, even came in a nice box:

also updated the rns firmware to get 7 digit postcodes working at last and then installed version 12 maps - which came from eBay for just 23 quid! firmware update was free from the web (one of josi's updates) but took a ton of research and removal of the head unit. much nervousness. it repartitioned my drive so i've got a lot of music to copy again. still, can get to where i want to go, guess that's the main thing...

love the bodykit on the r but wanted a less smooth back end so ordered a diffuser - which was held up by customs for a week before i could get my hands on it:
and after a day re-fitting it myself (lots of dremel action) finally got a chance to take a decent pic of it in daylight. um, not sure about it yet, probably cos it's such a big change. gonna leave it on for now to see if i get used to it. opinions welcome, good or bad...

Hmmmmm I'm not a fan of that. I prefer standerd diffuser. Car still looks fantastic btw. Just had a look around and a local vw dealer has got a deep black r for sale. Mmmmm tempting haha.
had the camera in the back after a big old wash 'n' wax today and took a couple of quick pics after filling up. so quick in fact i didn't bother to shut the doors... or boot....

Would you be able to post the part number from your standard R diffuser/splitter? I want to compare with the part which I have purchased for my facelift model.
