Quick question for Redrobin

[RedRobin]

You know, I was just sat here thinking guys.

When I purchased the Golf, I said to the wife, I want a top spec one, with all the toys, on the promise that if I managed to find a car fully loaded, then I wouldn't need to spend anymore money....how wrong was I ?

I spent the last 3 years constantly adding bits here and there. Not huge amounts of money at a time (certainly not like some of the guys on here), but constant. Started with Sat Nav, then the Alloy pedals, the exterior styling, new badges, GTI Steering Wheel (adding the MFSW) etc etc....

What is it with Dubs, that you just can't stop modding ? 

^ You simply should not have joined this forum!

There's a longstanding tradition of modding VeeDubs going back decades. Resistance is futile!! : -

LED taillights improve visibility, awareness, and safety. They also have a lifespan far longer than that of filament bulbs, and, as there are more elements, less chance of a failure adversly affecting safety.




...they also look the cool 



Insofar as swapping the inner elements around, it's easy and takes about half an hour with a glue gun/plastic welder and a sharp knife.

Its good that you like them Norbreck because you are going to lay an egg when you see the current price. The only place i have seen them for sale is on Ebay and they where £ 400

There's a set on German Ebay I'm watching at the moment Buy it Now €279 (approx £247.00). I hope they are the same ones we are talking about ?

I'd pay that but not £400 (that's just too steep)

....They look like the genuine article. You could always ask the seller to tell you the part # and manufacturer to check if it matches the label I posted in my Review.

I paid VWSpeed about £250 a while ago IIRC.

Good Luck!
