Good idea on the fog light cover. That reminds me I'm missing mine also. Any chance you could lmk the part number for the cover?
Thanks. These are side-specific, though the differences seem to be rather minute... i had to replace one of them, as mentioned.

I bought mine from ECS for under $7 plus shipping. If you shop around, right now with holiday sales and stuff, im sure you could find a way to get shipped for free (probably need to buy more stuff but who doesn't love that?)
I had lost a fog light access cover (forget the technical name for it) a while back and replaced it, so i decided to drill some holes and secure both of them loosely with zipties as I had seen advised somewhere on the interwebs (probably here).
I have lost one before too, this is an awesome idea! :thumbsup:
soundaktor disconnected (deleted?) today. easy mod, still need to test drive to hear the difference. hoping the hood blanket removal really makes the engine noise ring true now.
Disconnecting the Soundaktor is great, you'll probably notice less interior vibrations/buzzes too (at least I did).
Removing the hood liner is good as well, it definitely makes things more pronounced under the hood. Unfortunately one of the noises is the tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic......... of the valves. Will be interesting to hear your thoughts after a few miles.
Enjoy the REAL sound of your car! :thumbsup:
Spring/summer to-do list (aside from reg maint.):
- UM Tune
- VWR sport springs
- boost gauge (likely CIM vent pod)
- Stage 2 downpipe - TBD (either Oatmeal Hammer's DIY CF, or APR)
- side mirror indicators upgrade (once i figure out the short on wiring i have in there)
hoping to finance most of this with my tax return.
stretch goals will be a CBE (just need to dig around and find one I like and can afford) and uniBrace xB
Does um make a tune for the GTI I haven't been able to find it on their website?
