:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I must admit I do get a bit bored defending my choice when challenged, but that's partly my fault for feeling the need to defend myself.

It's definitely a 'marmite' mod and when I originally posted this review thread I (naively?) thought that more peeps would like them and that this thread would be helpful to those wanting to do the same. I have found to my surprise that DRL's are a very emotive subject.

I love them on the Golf R. :drinking:

Any constructive criticism is acceptable but comments like that are completely useless.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

 :signLOL:  If thats aimed at me, how is it useless?, I am asking a question to RR, that doesn't involve you, so that makes your comment completely useless!!! :mad:

Oh cock!

That wasn't aimed at you. You just happened to post just before I did. It was aimed at whoever said RR's DRLs were "ubber lame".

Let's not let this get into a handbags at dawn kinda thing, guys - Gill didn't express his opinion too nicely but I respect he's entitled to it and I'm not taking it personally.

I agree with you though, stealth - There's more constructive or diplomatic ways of expressing an opinion. But let's move on.

....Looks like it might be! Thanks for spotting it, Oli - I hadn't! I'll check it out tomorrow and see if my friendly upholsterer can fix it.

Damned Recaro's - I better sell them :evilgrin:

Jeezuz, TT! ! - You and I have already discussed all this on the other forum so why repeat all the tedium here?

Huh - so are you saying that only YOU has the right to post bull sh!t on this site, and that I can not reply with factual corrections?  That is an extremely arrogant point of view, especially as this is a PUBLIC forum - and is completely SEPARATE to the GolfGTIforum!


As I said on the other forum, I read many many pages of various documents and reports commissioned in different countries. I'm not going to spend time trawling through it all again just to answer you point by point.

And you completely FAILED to back up your point of view.  And you also were NOT able to counter any of my comments on the other forum either!!!!!

Isn't everyone else getting as bored as I am with the usual divided opinion regarding Robin's DRL's?  :indifferent:

He likes them, some other's do, some other's don't. Get over it peeps as he's not gonna change them! And being rude about them just isn't on, so if anyone else fanices a pop I will just remove it!   :happy2:

The issue of weather we like them or not isn't the issue - what IS an important issue is that someone is trying to post some WRONG information as FACT - when it categorically is NOT FACT.

Or is a certain poster still of the opinion that Audi are making ILLEGAL cars?

99% of stuff people post on the internet is probably a little far off FACT but if you feel the need to right that wrong then fill your boots Sean!  :smiley:

Edit: Greeners beat me too it, but anyway here's my comments on this.

^^^ Chill out T_T.

You more than most should know Robin will be Robin with his views on things, especially  DRL's.

The vast majority of the members of this site are wise enough to make there own informed choices about the products they buy, and I suspect aren't lead only by things like the product views on this site.

As much as I know you feel you need to ensure every post is correct to your only personal standards there is no need to give the old fella a verbal beating every time.  :laugh:
