Where did you get the reversing camera from and is it an easy fit?
I am looking forward to seeing how this all comes together.
nothing will be happening with mine for the next 5 weeks

I will watch the install closely as would like to do this too. What does the camera and wiring cost? Do you have a link?Found a German seller on eBay. It’ll be a pain in the arse but I’ve done it before on a mk7 Golf R. Lots of interior trim dismantling to round the cables from the tailgate to the front of the car no doubt.

Thanks, i will watch your installation and then make the move.I'll take loads of photo's for you and write up a how-to guide to follow. You will need to code it into the car so it's worth you investing in an OBDeleven dongle if you don't already have Carly or VCDS etc.
UK sellers are selling this kid for anything up to £500 but I got it here. Arrived very quickly as well: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272685391506
Couldnt wait for the camera, splashed out on it today. It will be waiting for me when i return back in a month.
Moonstone, looking forward to your install guide.

God that looks nice. Love this car, every time I see a picture I want one.Fitted my new grill yesterday. Managed to squeeze it in before going on a day out boozing with my mates and it was more of a ballache than I thought it would be. Didn’t think I’d finish it in time for heading out but I got there in the end.

Did you paint the crash bar before fitting? I painted mine Matt black, it is near invisible now behind the new grill.

I got the same grill, when mine was first fitted if you stood at the wrong angle. You could see the silver top of the crash bar even with the cover. So the whole grill was whipped off and the crash bar was painted too.No my new grill came with a cover piece mounted behind it that covers it.

Fingers crossed that yours is a broader centre cover.I’ve not noticed that on mine but could well be the case with mine also.
