Thankyou Chaps 

Andy, I'm happy with the subtle drop and Mrs Apollo can still hit speed humps at 40mph  :signLOL:

Jake, I was under the impression the ED30 rear box had a larger diameter pipe and slightly bigger tailpipes??

No bother if it doesnt, it will look better than the standard hidden derv rear box  :laugh:

I think the Mk6 wheel just lifts whats IMO a slightly bland cabin.

Love the mods - definite improvement.

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

Well smart Lee! Nice colour combination going on there.

So, when you get bored with them, perhaps do the Omanyts in a gunmetal grey perhaps?  :evilgrin: That would look naughty too...
Everytime I see your car, I begin to like the Dynabeams more and more. Have you slipped in some higher Kelvin (K) value bulbs, 4300K or 5000K perhaps?

Cheers Stealth  :happy2:

Pete, I'm already on the gunmetal/anthracite train of though, my new wheels are on their way..........

As for the dynabeams, I don't think you can get them anymore. You can get the halogen versions which look the same but don't swivel/self level and are obviously halogen instead of xenon.

Well spotted mate they have 5000k D2S bulbs in them, the guy I got them from put these in as they match the LED celis bar. They are a bit blue for the first 5mins but then warm up to a brilliant white.

Nope, I have had both side by side and they are exactly the same, i only have pictures of both downpipes side by side not the backboxes but you can clearly see they are both same diameter





Not that it is a lesseer good looking exhaust, just no difference between them :happy2:

^^^^^Thanks for the heads up Jake.

Like I say its not for performance reasons, purely cosmetic and anything is better than the TDI rear box  :happy2:

Car looks wicked, Lee! I want a Mk6 GTI steering wheel and an RNS and I think that will be all on my interior!

Love the colour too  :happy2:
