Installation of CSR Spoiler on Golf Mk6 Sports

To add the final sporty touch to our Golf, we ordered a Golf Mk6 Rear Spoiler from German accessory company - CSR Automotive through Lyonel from Godspeed. The spoiler took two weeks to arrive and a day to spray paint. Installation was by the staff at HAT at Kaki Bukit and took half a day. CSR is a TUV quality certified company specialising in car accessories for brands like BMW, Porsche , VW , Audi , SEAT. The CSR sport hatch spoiler gives the Golf 6 a more aggressive rear profile with extended depth and profile as compared to other spoilers.

Refurbishment of our main door

After more than 3 years of exposure to strong sunshine and rain, our main door looked faded and the laminates at the corners of the door were starting to peel.
We called Jonas from Contat Decor and Transportation who had built our customised main door for us three years back once again to request his service to refurbish our
main door. As usual, he was prompt and helpful with advice and we made an appointment for his guys to come down to do the door refurbishment.

The whole process took about 3 hours. The door was taken off it's hinges first and then work was done on removing the old laminate around the door edges and replacing them with a new cut of laminate. After the laminate was pasted and glue dried, the door was reattached back and then sanding was done to smoothen the door surface. Then a few coats of varnish were applied as a protectant sealant for the door laminate and our door was as good as new again. The whole service cost $160.50 nett.

New pastry creations

Gayle's exploration with fondant cakes continues.... Fondant Lily decor

Cakes from Gayle

Another week and Gayle has a new cake to add to her fondant cake collection.

Pretty cakes by Gayle

Gayle is in the midst of her Wilton Gum Paste and Fondant course and these are 2 of her starting pretty creations(above). She is currently taking the course at Phoon Huat which is far better than her other earlier Wilton course at BIY. The advantage of Phoon Huat is that there is more time for your work, the instructors are very helpful and they do not rush you off. Importantly, while the fee at Phoon Huat is slightly higher than a similar course at BIY, note that Phoon Huat provides everything that you need for the course such as equipment like cake smoother, fondant imprint mat, rolling pin etc which is more than the Wilton standard package so you don't have to buy every single item, which is good for those who want to try out and see if they are keen before committing financially to procuring more items. Another good thing is that you can just come out of your class and pop into the Phoon Huat store to buy all your baking needs after getting all inspired at the classes.Phoon Huat baking courses are held at Geylang Lor 23, One Sims Lane, #01-10/11 Singapore 387355. Transport wise, Phoon Huat is more convenient being just within walking distance(about 10 minutes) to Aljunied MRT station.

1st VW Golf 1.4TSI Sports halogen headlight conversion to HID LED xenon headlights in Singapore

Our VW Golf Sports has become the first VW Golf 1.4TSI Sports in Singapore to have completed conversion of it's halogen headlights to the latest VW OEM(Original Equipment) LED HID Xenon Headlights imported from VW Germany. Conversion and programming was done by Raymond from Juzz For Cars at Sin Ming Autopoint. We would like to commend Raymond for his meticulous work and always ready to answer our 'noob' questions. The Audi like LED really give the car a unique look while adding to day driving safety. The conversion took two days as it was the first such conversion in Singapore and well, the time spent in the workshop was well worth the final look.Thanks also to Peter from Juzz For Cars for arranging the conversion and rushing down to collect the lights and bulb holder when it arrived.
With this , our Golf has become a full LED car with front and rear LED headlights and tail lights
