Alientech auto-window controller


Fitting information

This is a great gadget! It allows you to roll up and roll down the windows from the remote key using combinations of key presses.

Mk4 Golf Sunglasses Holder

Such a useful little thing - directly replaces the drivers side grab handle.
I intended to paint this to match the headlining but I ended up buying four matching handles and replacing the lot so they all match!
I bought mine from Awesome

I've only done the driver's side so far. I still need to work out where to mount the LEDs for the passenger side!

Rear Interior Lights

 

Bonnet Lifter gas struts

I've been wanting some of these for ages but I'm too tight to pay for the expensive ones. Well I found these from this Ebay Seller. They're for a Mk3 Golf and with a small amount of bending with my fixing hammer they fit perfectly!

Update! One of the gas struts failed after about 12 weeks :( Replaced with some better quality ones from here
