Few Questions

[MickMc]

1. If i add an aftermarket HID kit will i get a warning on the dash ?
2. I Want to do the badges black , but i noticed the rear is a one peice badge and the boot handle , is there a replacement which i can do black ? * Have already done the front*
3. Is it worth adding an exhaust , if so what would be better resonated / non resonated?
4.When i had a fiesta a few folk put focus intercoolers on the tdci models , would it be worthwhile adding a better intercooler?

Can't answer all you questions but there are guys here that will be able to,

veedub18 has an aftermarket HID kit so he may be able to advise.
You can get the later type rear badge/handle on e-bay for around £40-£50, you can then remove the rear emblem and paint.
NotNormal has modified his GT 170 so again he can probably advise you better

whats peoples opinions on the new style rs4's (black and polished)

[MickMc]

And will 19s fit ok 

[Top Cat]

They look  to me 19in will fit no probs just make sure you get the correct tyre size. 

[JPC]

ye 235/35/19 should do it i think on that

[RunRabbit]

Putting HIDs into a halogen light fitting will be illegal, the beam will scatter like hell and without washers and a way to adjust the level they'll be rather annoying to other drivers.

You can retro-fit the OEM xenons and have the rheostat wiring modified, that'd just leave washers

RE: HID's

Been looking into this. From what I've managed to dig up you can get several kits. HID's for you do a kit which is supposed to be for vehicles post 2002

http://www.hids4u.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=64&cat=16&page=1

This kit stops the bulb warning lights coming on and the flickering.

You can get the cheaper kits but you need to activate these in the ecu i.e vag-com so its swings and roundabouts really.

I know a lot of people harper on about needing washer jets and auto level but as long it passes the MOT does it really matter? and if your car is new like mine you dont need to worry about an MOT 

 It's far cheaper than installing the stock ones which look pants anyway   

[MickMc]

Cheers for that mate , never saw those on HIDS4u , from what i'm led to believe , washer jets and auto level are only compulsary if the vehicle is fitted with HIDs from factory , i understand that they will be best to use with projector units but around here most people just use them in the standard lights , and oem xenons are a no go as far as price is concerned

[MickMc]

Been having a look for some new alloys and was wondering wat your thoughts are on each of these

19" Black/Polished RS4's


19" RS4's


19" RS6's


18" New Style R32's

[Top Cat]

19" RS6's

Its these for me Mick.

[MickMc]

Im currently swaying towards those one as the rs4s i wanted , with winter coming and that , once the laquer cracks they will become corroded :(

[Top Cat]

They will be a doddle to clean and fat spokes always look better on the Mk5 IMO 

[Greeners]

The five spokes would be the better winter wheel, and would look better in a darker colour too 

[T88OMM]

The five spokes will look good. I saw them recently in an anthracite finish on a black MKV and they looked
