Thanks man! I've replied to you on Instagram


The rear end was delivered today. Happy is an extreme understatement!!!!! It is perfect. The sender also sent me all the brackets and even arch linings too. Woohoo!!

Here it is, to be fitted shortly...

I like this facelift [emoji7]
I want to know the correct wiring and VCDS settings for the taillight because a friend of mine has it but he doesn't succeed yet to setup it well.

Thx

Thanks man! I'll let you know how I get on - I have some advice and walk through guides from others who have done it. If it all works, I can let you know

Will be fitted next weekend, along with the front end too. I can't wait!!

Thanks Tom, I know that you can do it [emoji4]

I won't wait too if I have this stuff!

Another subtle upgrade today - chrome door lock covers...

Tom

My friend, can you please send me the link from where you bought this? I'm planning to do the same. I just don't know if someone will work on my muffler or just buy one like yours instead.

SPEEDDRV here is the link dude: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311668854715" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


On another note, test fitting and wiring up the facelift LED Rear lights went well last night. I made a custom harness that plugs into the pre facelift connector and in theory converts it to the facelift plug:







Due to be fitted Friday...

Tom

Well done Tom [emoji106][emoji122]

Will you be selling your R line rear bumper? I'd be keen for it!

Loving the car btw looks epic!

Sorry dude it has already sold! I've just replied to your PM.



UPDATE. Yesterday I fitted the facelift rear end. Everything went okay, couple of technical issues with the lights but they seem to be working now!

Here is the finished article, I will upload some more progress pics and everything soon - so many of you have asked me what parts are required for the facelift and how to code the lights etc so I'll do a write up asap!



Sososo happy with it. Especially because it was a bargain of the century and only cost me £350 (I've actually sold my pre facelift rear end for more!) so can't complain.

Tom

Looks mega that where did you get your door latch covers from ??

Thank you my friend!! VW asked me for 420€.

Looks amazing now!!

Can you tell us the connections for the facelift? I'm also interested in that. Well, not for now since i changed all my lights for LED's. My Rocco is FULL LED. Looks amazing. But the facelift rear lights are on another level, future upgrade for sure.

R badge makes it look legit

I am still meaning to do a write up, will put one up as soon as possible dude - for now, here is the pre facelift to facelift pin conversion which I followed:

1 > 3
2 > 7
3 > 8
4 > 5
5 > 4
6 > 6

You can see in some of the pics below how that results out. I just need to find someone with vcp to do some coding for me, but in theory all of the lights work with that set up

R badge has been removed now, had no intention of keeping it on.


I met up with a few of the rocco' guys at the weekend, easyrider worked his magic with his camera as always. Here are some pics from Saturday. You can see in the last pic why I need to code the rear lights. The rear fog light is on and the brake lights are on faintly all of the time, although they illuminate correctly when I brake so not a big issue...









The rear end conversion seems to have gone down really well. Loads of compliments from people, including Car Audio Security, Air Lift Performance and Rotiform all sharing the car on their social pages - winner!

The colour match isn't perfect, which means i'm either going to have to get it resprayed... or, because my front end is due a respray when I fit the facelift bumper, for the same price i'm thinking of a full wrap... watch this space

Tom

Thanks bro! Those pics are just perfect ehehe

There is one thing missing... Bi-xenon. Get the new ones...

new rear bumper looks spot on pal

Thanks guys! Facelift xenons will happen soon, once I find a set for a reasonable price!

On a side note, this week I became a home owner! My girlfriend and I made an offer on a house which was accepted, which means car parts are going to need to be put on the back burner for a while.

However, these arrived in the post today! I am sososo impressed with the quality, fully hand made carbon interior trims...














Hope you like!
