Well there's a good 3 hours at least gone from my life. I hope this helps. For the record, there were about 20 other DIYs within the DIY thread, however they were posted by individual users and I didn't feel like having a post 5 pages long. Here's the link if you care to look yourself. Do a search, it will save you a good chunk of time.

Glad to help :D . I'm reading through and checking almost every link in the MK2 DIY on vortex. There's 11 pages so I'll be there for a while. I'll post all the good links here.

It's not crap... crap is a general word for just about anything.
