^ Same here regarding the Auto Levelers Ollie  :congrats:

I think if you've got the winter pack (like I have with washers), the whole Xenon retrofit can be done for under £900. I'm prepared to spend that as are you by the looks of it  :happy2: It's a price I'm prepared to pay anyway  :laugh:

The xenons cost me £320 and the levelers will cost me about £350 I believe which I dont think is too bad! I haven't got the washers and I dont think I will be getting them as I want to smooth the front bumper anyway!
My car is always kept clean anyway and I polished and used sealant on the headlights and the water beads off now!
It shouldn't be too much off a problem if I keep the car clean should it? :signLOL:  :happy2:

I think it's more the legality mate, no idea on the actual ins and outs as different people will tell you different things. My GTI has them anyway so if I fit auto levelers, I know I'll have an OEM factory fit headlamp system. That way, any insurance/police implications mean I'm in the green.
The actual washers themselves don't do a tremendous amount. I remember the old Volvo 850's used to have a washer arm on either side so it could scrape away the crap after the jets had fired. Old skool!  :chicken:

Where are these split rim pics?  :P

I know its legal issues but  some have fitted just the xenons and not had a problem. Also people who use aftermarket HID's dont have problems!  :confused:
Anyway I dont want to start a big debate on the forum so Ill have to see what happens!  :happy2:

Ive haven't managed to get any pics yet! The car has been locked away in the garage and when I get it out I forget because im driving or doing something  :signLOL: :rolleye:

I still need to get the pics your after too!  :ashamed:

Ill get them soon!  :happy2:

Another quick question TC-Do you think that the magnetized plate trick would work on the front of a normal golf bumper?  :happy2:

As long as there is room for the magnets to sit almost flush on the back of the bumper, then i cant see why not.  :smiley:
