Looks nice, but what is the Rydell edition?

Not sure what you mean by that dude?

That's the only pic I have of the lights at the mo, the hid kit is a 6000k can is friendly kit, nightbreaker osram full beams and led sidelights. No links for any of it tho sorry dude, bought it all ages ago and was running them in my std lights, they came off eBay tho. Loads of choice on there, sure it was summit like UK hids? I remember gb flags in the ad :thumbup:

Thanks dude. How hard were the HIDs to install? Pretty straight forward? And what's the 6 o'clock mod?

It's pretty straight forward to fit it all yeah, I just took my time and all was fine. Only really one place for everything to go so it all went together. One thing I did like about the depo projectors was that cause there based on oem lights they actually had a spot underneath to attach the hid ballasts to so there hidden!

The 6 o'clock mod it to do with the way the hid bulb sits it the holder, either with the element on the bulb at 12 o'clock or at 6 o'clock, some have found with the element at 12 o'clock the light pattern shows a big shadow on the floor so people turn the bulbs round to hide this. A quick search will show you more :thumbup:

Working on my smooth grill today In-between giving the 30 a wash.

Stuck 5 n35 magnets on the back of the plate and grill with some ridiculously strong sticky crap! Magnets are perfect cause it finds the same home everytime you put the plate on! Easy peasy.
Picked up some adhesive backed felt from a local fabric shop and covered the back of the plate to help reduce scratches on the grill front from the magnets and trimmed it up! Pretty happy with it for a diy mod. :)

Just gotta wait for a spare 5 mins and fit it up with all the badges attached

Just for reference the grill is from xenonzk and the plates were off eBay with the magnets aswell.

It's a secret

Looking good!

I really need to sort out some magnets for my plate... Running it in the window isn't smart  .. I like what you've done with the felt too, might have to do something similar! Thanks 

[Dan648v]

Cheers @Morgen 

Yeah I thought it was a good idea, saw someone had done on here a while back so thought I'd give it a go! Pretty pleased with the outcome, gonna get it fitted up on Sun and see how it's come out!
Didn't fancy the plate in the window, police round my parts are pretty keen!

Got a few bits done today!
Fitted my new smooth grill, switched over my carbon vw badge and edition 30 badge onto it, repainted my engine cover, prefer it to the purple that was meant to be blue on there before, it doesn't match the forge hoses but does match the coolant lids. Pretty happy with it!



Decided to jack up the back and take out my adjusters on the rear coils, got me another 10/15mm drop



One niggle I've always had is with my Neuspeed intake was that it didn't have a heatshield/air feed so I decided to make one! Only got a pic of the cardboard stencil I made and the metal one I've made from it is drying in primer in the shed! Bit of black paint and heat proofing and I'll get some pics fitted!

Been meaning to get around to doing NeoDyium(sp?) magnets on my plate for a while now.  buying a private plate so will be my chance to do it

Greta work!

[Dan648v]

Cheers @Tfsi_Mike 

Gotta admit the magnets are a neat little trick! I've got 5 on each side and I don't think it's coming off without a good yank! What I like is All the main work is in the prep and the plate goes in the same place everytime!

Doing the Seibon bonnet?

[Andy]

Wow  Dan under the bonnet lookin excellent

Doing the Seibon bonnet?

I'd thought of it, did actually miss out on one for a decent price but changed my mind last minute! Think Eddie on here has one fitted to his black track car and it does look pretty sweet! Let's never say never ;)

Wow  Dan under the bonnet lookin excellent

Cheers Andy! Looking forward to seeing it with my heatshield fitted!
How's yours coming along? Fitted those hoses yet?
