It's an Alpine INE-W928R. Alpine does a fitting kit for the B7 so it's plug and play and comes with a fascia surround.

Okaaaay. So a couple of things have happened recently.
1) Rear Wiper delete
2) KW height adjustable springs. I think the back is adjusted too high, so need to drop it a little.

I have had these in for a while actually, but the weather has been awful and the car has been filthy, so no pics. Today I washed, clay barred and polished, so shiny!

Before clay bar & polish:

5 hours work, but totally worth it.

Looks great mate and a few bits I need to do.
First job is to remove the bumper and sort my grill.

I also have a rear wiper bung but I cant decide if I should remove it as we get a lot more rain than you lol.

Do it! Bit of rain repellant and regular cleaning is all you need for a smooth ass.

Looking good Alex. Yes I think the back could come down a little more.

Looks good Alex! I think I might have to delete the wiper too.

Where did you guys get the rear wiper bungs? How did you cap off the washer pipe? I assume the motor has to come out?

Yes mate wiper motor out and the bungs need to be the glass ones which look best. But nothing that cant be put back.

Faisal, I got mine from kill all wipers too, as did Alex and Starry too I think. Great customer service!

Ans yes the motor needs to come out. I just capped the pipe with a bit of self amalgamating tape in the first instance as I wanted to disconnect the wire from the pimp but on the C7 it is a shared plug with the front washers. Next time im in there I think I will remove the hose from the pump, that way I end up with a puddle on the road or floor rather than in my boot if activated by a garage or by accident etc.

Yep Kill All Wipers here too. Was a great little package for a good price. I put an m4 screw up the end of my hose pipe which sealed it off fine for now, activating the pump doesn't leak any water.

New shoes! Interestingly, the rear height looks fine with these, even though it hasn't changed.
