Fitted uprated gas struts after fitting the bike rack the other day and finding the originals can't cope. Held it up with a length of wood and removed one side when the wood snapped and dropped the tailgate onto my wrist 
luckily seems no major damage just bruising and cursing!! Learnt my lesson and replaced with a thicker piece of wood!!

Did you do this yourself?Upgrade day - I've loaded TVS DSG drivability package. Also upgraded MIB soft and maps

It's now getting a thorough wash in the Scottish Liquid Sunshine (tm).

no, was lucky to have dealer in town - in fact guys (ecuproject.pl) are well known in tunning world and they know lot about tunning (not only DSG).
I think so I have a lower chin body colour section then the splitter was attached to that same shape. It was all fitted prior to us buying by the dealer
Agreed the only LV splitter I can see is plastic not fiber glass?. Maybe they changed materials. Maybe some folk know of another version same design?
Today I got my ACC fixed at the main dealers. Only taken me 5 months to get there lol.
Reset by diagnostic as had ‘glitched’????

Fitting the uprated struts is my weekend task. I'll be supplementing a piece of wood with my partner as well!

Ever since we got the van in 2019, I've used the cam straps to pull down the pop top because the handles fixed to the under side are too high to reach when it's open (at least without standing on the seats). When we were away last week, I got to thinking that there must be an easier way to do it so this morning I looped a couple of lengths of rope through the handles and it's so much easier - not as much effort required to pull the roof down and the ropes can be reached whilst still sitting. They can also be pushed out of the way on to the bed board when the roof is up and are completely out of sight when the roof hatch is closed.. Can't believe it's taken me nearly 5 years to think of it.
