Fitting the RS2 Airbox

[Robatron]

This is really beggining to annoy me now...

I have been sent everything I apparently need to fit the RS2 airbox in my 3b coupe yet I am still missing about a million plastic bits! At the moment its feels like I'm trying to complete a huge puzzle with two puzzle pieces...

I asked VAG to send me everything that is needed to fit the box but I don't suppose they reckoned on everything having been removed beforehand.

Can anyone show me some shots of everything I need? When I get the chance I will take a shot of all the parts I have and post them up.

I thought all you needed mainly was the following:

2x rubber bungs for wing (prob same as old box)
air box and filter
plastic at front of airbox

What else did you get?

as the inlet is bigger i suppose you need the piece of plastice that slides behind the headlamp!?!?

Sorry for the late reply guys.

I will post up the pictures of what I have when I get home tonight.

Is the car back from the paintshop Rob?

[Robatron]

It was until this morning.

It's gone back to sort out one of the seals, but atleast I got to have a little fun with it over the weekend.

How's it looking with the new paint job?

[Acidburn]

Glad your at least getting a bit closer to driving it long time, bet you missed it.

Was the paint job up to the original condition prior to the gazebo?

[Robatron]

The paint job is looking mighty fine!

I wanted to get out there and give it a good wash and wax but I thought I best leave it as its going back into the shop where it will get filthy and I'm almost certain that you need to let a freshly painted car settle down before you can wash it.

I managed to take the car out on a tunnel run on sunday morning and I had a few comments on how good the car is looking (not to mention sounding!).

You should certainly avoid putting any polish on brand new paint but you're fine to wash it (and you shouldn't need to wax)...
