Touch wood it stays dry for you mate! It's a nice temperature at the minute during the day, not too cold for the tyres but cold enough for a good charge temp.

Definitely going for a hybrid k03 myself after reading your progress [emoji106]

Cheers, yeah it definitely transforms the car, and with the new BBT one that R-tech have been playing with you can reach nearly K04 numbers if you want and keep standard injectors.
Stay on k03 injectors..? Interesting. That'd certainly save a bit I could put towards a pump/clutch/ic.

I'm down R-Tech on 24th for a map tweak so I'll chew Niki's ear a bit about the Beach Buggy hybrids. I know he holds them in high regard!

Really need to sort brakes soon though [emoji56]

I like the overall look, just think they're a bit dark for the red. Googled it, and think it looks awesome on a black mk5 gti. Wonder what it would like on my steel grey gti... hmmm....
I felt the same when I looked again today. The lighting seems quite small in its housing. Therefore Red lenses may balance this effect better. But still love the enthusiasm and results.  :drinking:

These are mine when I had red Lamin-X over them. Holes in the laminate for the reverse and Euro Fog lights, but on T-Red those R-style light may not seem small in the housing.

well after a very long wait of about 4 days (from ordering) I finally recieved these  :jumping:



Can't wait to get them fitted, but might wait until this bout of snow and ice have passed first though.  :smiley: 
Thanks to @dan930 for the recommendation, got a little discount through mentioning your name  :drinking:

Had to leave her at a local multi-storey car-park and walk home. As some dick with a gun entered the car park and the area is now cordoned off by the police.  :sad1:

Were you worried about a shoot out with him using your car as cover?

Just happy it was resolved and no one got hurt. I can always fix/replace the car.

Do you keep getting the canbus error? I gave up with led bulbs in the end and opted for the complete replacement led offerings. Much better and error free.

Can't fault the OEM LED's. :wink:

I got them very cheap: 12 € the 1st time for the GT Sport and 10 € the 2nd time for the Ed. 30. The last time I checked you could order them for 25-30 € with shipping included from ebay or online stores.

These were the ones I purchased. Cannot fault them for less than £12!

In my opinion nothing beats the OEM bulbs. For a little more money you get much nicer looking licence lights. :wink:
