Only issue I have is the lack of mounting for the front indicators.

Contemplating oem nose mids lowers and rc seat too

Got the seat unit on my Rvf and it's ace. So light and fits well and paint is spot on match wise

Agreed on front indicator holes or lack of

Paul I emailed tyga and they have advised on a way to fit OEM indicators:

Well, as you probably noticed there are no mounting points. However, it would not be difficult to mount them. There is a bit of an angle at that point so you’d need to cut the mounting rubber diagonally along the same angle into two wedge shaped halves and put one half inside and the other outside. Effectively, this would mean that the inside would have the thickest edge of the wedge at the rear and the outside one the thickest edge at the front. Once the steel bush is placed in and the whole thing tightened up with the bolt, it should be almost identical looking to stock. It might be worth practicing on a spare panel and rubber first just to make sure.


On a side note, i sold the TT lol

Hmmm i can see what they mean but i think i would stick with some tiny aftermarket light weight items than the heavy OE units.
its a real shame they do not offer an option on this.

Still got my 3.2 and still loving it - however a year on i feel the need to try a Mk2 or something else. i keep looking at 205 GTI's for some reason.

Yea I think they missed out by not having an oem indy mount.

Something a bit more retro would be nice.
I sold the tt to go back to tdi estate.
But in weird turn off events got offered a job I was reserve for. Will use a company pool car so will be back in the s14a as a daily.

Mrs looking for an eos if you know of any?
