My brother bullied me into putting hids in mine. 35w canbus friendly ones iv used and they are fine. I dont do a great deal of night driving but iv put osrams in the main beam bulbs. Just need to change the sidelights now

 :grin: they would look slightly odd tbh with normal bulbs!

yeah get some led sidelights in there, they look real smart in the xenon style headlights  :happy2:

The sidelights are mtec ones which are pants. Got some 9 led ones to go in but not sure if they will actually work! We shall see over the weekend

JoeDarKa

Well the headlight covers simply dont fit, completely the wrong shape so i sent them back!

On other news, some good and some bad!

Good first:




Just need a headlight switch now



Now the not so good:




My brother must have caught his hoody zip on the steering wheel getting out the car so its going in for a re-trim soon. Not sure if to get a "custom" job but not sure what to do with it!

Sorry if the pics are huge, photobucket is rubbish

Looking good on the puddle light front! Jelous you now have VCDS! Shame about the steering wheel man  :sad1:  Hope you get it back to perfect

JoeDarKa

Cheers Chris. Had the day off today so i though i would go and ask about the steering wheel where i got my seats done at..... Needs to be sent off and they cant just replace the scratched portion so needs to be all done, its pretty expensive to get it done but it needs doing.

On other news my boot pop arrived so i was bored and wrapped the struts:



And also got some new shiny 312mm brake upgrade off here:




And my CHs are getting re-painted as i type!

:grin:
