Great video - I actually just now did one of these bolt kits, and it turned out wonderfully. It was more out of necessity for me, since the plastic bolts were all failing and I could pop out all the plastic inserts by hand. Definitely spruces up the engine bay, and is worth the extra couple bucks for someone else to collect and ship it all out for you. I especially like how an all-silver kit matches some of the car's interior details.

What a well timed video! I agree stock fittings are fine but after 20 years they are basically useless as they get damaged from incorrect use, using the wrong tool etc. some of the off the shelf kits are a steal for the money. I thought I’d share how to make your own kit for those who wanted something a little more unique or oem 🙂

Not expensive but makes a huge difference. Did this in first year of owning my tt as there were odd bolts, chewed ones and so own. Thanks to you, BWS TT and Andy Charger I had learned such a lot and at the same time saved more than a few bob,

I wish you'd made this video earlier... I spent a good couple of days making sure I was ordering the right bolts and washers for my dress up kit last year 😂 I actually ended up having to replace the intake manifold plastic trim as the PO had mullered the plastic bolts!

Always the way! Yeah it’s quite a common sight seeing them all messed up

I put a set with dimpled washers that match the interior trim. The only downside has been that my mechanic would lose them during maintenance. I learned to remove them before dropping of my car.
@TheParrottBros10 ай бұрын
Yeah that’s very frustrating. It’s not hard to put them all on a magnet tray when working on it 😅

Nice to see your new car being brought up to spec Dom😉. I have the dip stick and engine bay dress up kit. although you really have to be careful with how much you snip off the dipstick!...mine still needs a bloody good wash and polish!
@TheParrottBros10 ай бұрын
I actually ended up putting a normal dip stick back in as where that one had been trimmed badly it was letting pressure out when tested haha. Yeah cars really coming together. I haven’t washed my car in months so your not alone

I like the anodized black ones with a set of anodized black washers it's the little bits that make a car and looked cared for . For example I have a friend that makes stuff out of carbon fibre got him to do my engine cover and all the plastic parts in my b5 S4 and it looks factory cost me the best part of £400 but to me it was a bargain because of the way it makes the car look

Ooo mate that sounds awesome. I miss the sound of my b5 s4…. What a car! Just couldn’t be dealing with working on or removing the engine for every big job 😂

What charge pipe is that and does it use the old coupler for the turbo to charge pipe
@TheParrottBros10 ай бұрын
Is a track slag pipe and it uses a straight silicone joiner rather than the old 90 degree bend
