I'll keep you in mind, let me reprint in a different material and test for a few weeks. Once I'm happy there's going to be no issues I'll let you know

It's on 'on' position with engine not running.
Cruising at 188km/h
Just thought. I guess lights up just like all, most other lights, the other lights when ign on.

If you mean for the brackets, yeah, pretty much any colour can be done. More ideal if there are multiple people wanting the same colour though as a 1 kg roll of filament is around 20 coins, so we'd need to be able to print other stuff with it.

Must make a mental note to not open the boot next time I’m wearing heels!6'4" it's a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I could easily hold the boot open. A curse because I still bump my headlol

That’s a strange one. When I temporarily put my original ones back on whilst waiting for the SGS’s re-gassed to 1000N, the height was much lower, seemed almost a foot lower! I really needed to bend down to get my head under the boot.
I have to say I’m very pleased with 1000N, they open fully by themselves. Require a little extra force to close but that’s expected.

It is strange yeah, they seem the same length as the original. I actually measured the height and removed the SGS and installed the originals and they were almost 1 inch higher!?

Great cheers, I was looking to make a spacer out of some scrap metal or even washers to test it but I like the idea of a 3D printed spacer.
Great idea - I'm 6'5" so will be doing that nice little mod!I also fit the 3d printed boot strut spacers and feel it made more a difference than the SGS struts, 60p of plastic vs £60 of gas struts. I still don't fit under the very end though

Just replaced the boot light with an LED one. When I first got the van, I was messing around inside with the chairs etc and found the boot light. I tried flicking it on and off, nothing. So I ordered a new light for the grand sum of £2.49. Then I remembered the boot wasn't open at the time, so obviously wouldn't work 
doh.
Anyway, before and after pics. Should have moved the chairs forward first for a better comparison. LED to the eye is much brighter and the spread of light also much better.
The best bit was leaving the engine running whilst doing it and listening to @Elementian 18" Centre silencer rumble gently

We finally got one today!!!! Now for the gruelling wait.
I know this doesn't count as actually doing something to the van, but the list of things we have planned is getting longer xD

So it's an S3 NE51 Highway Star in silver, black leather edition. 2008, 45k miles on the clock.yes tell us more private/dealer colour s1.3.3 model all the usual
We actually went through an agent and bought from the auction in Japan. Just have to wait for a space on a boat xD.
Lots of plans though, new wheels, new pipes, lpg conversion....perhaps a quick spritz of the headlights. Can see where my cash is going for the foreseeable!
Hope the links work!
