PSU's .:R32 Thread

I actually want to pull the GLI a hair, so I want to use a roller. All three vehicles need it done. The Coupe is in extreme need for it.

Ahhh.

So Skippy has one then?

I know the last frame notch he did, we used a baseball bat to roll Nico's fenders.

[VR_Kraut]

I saw he just got one not that long ago. It was on Facebook.

[IdontOwnAVW]

I don't think skippy has an eastwood, I know he fabbed something up for his rabbit, and we used it on my mk1 jetta when I put my equips on.

Was just a PVC pipe wrapped in tape.

I am sure that kid has connections though, so ignore my posting.

[VR_Kraut]

...so ignore my posting.

Will do.

[IdontOwnAVW]

Will do.

Ouch.

[VR_Kraut]

Ouch.

Drive to Easton, and breakfast in the Caf is on me. Pretty good food here.

And I don't blame him at all.

Out with the old:



In with the new:



That ugly pocket will be gone too.

USPS is on my **** list right now. With the past three things I've had shipped to me by them, their tracking #s have been off.

[johnnyR32]

[VR_Kraut]

I still can't believe how good this looks. Damn you for making me spend more money!

[mfbmike]

See you at WiTW!

So I come inside from finishing up the shift boot and saw that someone had posted a link showing how to do what I just did...

Getting the DSG knob off can be tricky, but it's not as bad as people say it is.

I was the idiot who clicked the shifter after it was disengaged, which in turns lock the clicker into place.



To get the manual shifter bezel to clear the DSG shifter housing, some trimming is required.

This is what the unaltered bezel looks like with the shift boot removed:





** You don't want to trim as far up as that gif shows because you will lose the locking point for the lower clips on the shift boot.

Just used a Dremel with a cutting wheel to cut from tab to tab on the lower portion of the bezel:



After that, I did a test fit but it still wasn't enough to clear the shifter housing.



I went back inside and trimmed a big chunk off the lower right side of the shifter bezel and it fit perfectly.

Nice job, I like the subtle change

[PSU]

Thanks mane.

I've always hated that DSG shift trim bezel with the ugly shift layout on it.

You know what else I hate? That gaudy brushed spin trim ash tray.

Picked up a black pocket from a 2009 Rabbit and it should be here tomorrow.

Who needs it?

[johnnyR32]

Who needs it?

my bro's fiance.

[PSU]

my bro's fiance.

I'd say yeah, but it's in rough shape.

I never had it replaced under warranty (peeling) and the trim around the one side of the boot snapped.

You should get a discount on your insurance now. Anti theft device added: Your car can't be stolen because no one but you can tell where to put the shifter to get it in gear!
