Saw this page before I was a member here. Got the chrome handbrake button and brushed aluminium gear surround after seeing your pictures. Were did you get the flip key and how easy is it to connect aux lead to the standard head unit? Also got the facelift rear badge and it looks really different. Went down to Dave@Sere and got the parts

Hi mate. Yeah start a reader's ride on here and put up some pics. You need 15 posts to post pics. Handbrake cover is cheap mate, think it cost me bout £20 at the time. Gearknob was about £50. Yeah there's not many people from the republic on here, good few people from Northern Ireland though. Wherabouts you from?
Ah cool, good to hear people are liking what I'm doing
I got my flip key on ebay, then swapped the transponder from my spare key into it, got it cut and programmed it to the car. Aux lead is pretty easy, you just need one extra piece of wire to earth it. Yeah Dave is a sound lad, will be calling up to him again soon to get some parts get some pics up of your car if you get a chance!yeah was trying to pt up a few posts now really.
Im from Donegal myself. Had the car 2 years now, just looking to spruce it up really.

Yeah i will post a few pics when I can. Have to get myself a new gear gaitor soon as my other 1 is ripped. Going get a set of alloys for it in the next month or 2 after i sort out my insurance and timing belt.
Forgot to ask where did you get the bonnet felt. I would like to get it for my car aswell. Can barely here at the min as it is but that would make it even quieter.
Bonnet felt I got from Dave at sere, only cost bout £20. I only bought it cos I think it looks neater, didn't make much difference to noise level.
Ah. Might not get it then. Prob going down tomorrow and will hopefully get the cupra handbrake from dave at sere. Saw nice wheels on ebay but cant get them for a couple weeks.
No because there aren't any that I know of! Do you? There's def no seat meets and the only other car site that I'm on isn't busy enough to have meets. I should mention that I'm living in Dublin for the last 4 years, but originally from Limerick.
What wheels you looking at?
Not a Seat meet no but I have been on a meet from another Irish site. it was a point to point for charity.
Im a teacher myself, how you finding it? Ive just qualified 2 years ago.

Going down to dave tomorrow to get my handbrake cover. If he has the heater vents i will get them aswell.
Ah. What site do you use? Got my handbrake cover. Looks so much better. Going leave wheels for now but will get them sometime. Looking at getting flip key sometime and maybe getting windows tinted.
I use photobucket. Handbrake is a nice easy mod and makes a big difference! Flip key is a nice mod to do aswell, gives the car a more expensive feel haha!
Yeah. Get rid of my awful spare key. It has no buttons. Itll look so much better than when i sell the car. Did you buy a key with all the internal things in it. Thanks i will upload pictures here soon.
Yeah got one on ebay that had all the bits in it and a blank blade. Only had to swap over one bit from my spare key.
Dave, you changed your remote key fob for a flip key right?
Did you just buy a blank one, ie nothing in it and just put the internal "stuff" from your old one into the new? And is it just plug in and play?

I originally had a spare key with no buttons, just a blade. I also had a remote non flip key. I bought a flip key on ebay that had all internals except for the transponder (I think that's what it's called) for my car. I opened my spare key with no buttons and put the transponder from that into the flip key. I got the flip key blade cut. And then I had to program it to the car which isn't difficult. Something like put your old key in the ignition and unlock the door with the new one or something like that. Other than that it's plug and play. So now I have a flip key and my old remote one is my spare now
hope that makes sense haha. There is a flip key thread somewhere in the mk4 section which has a lot of info on it!Similar threads
