Comparison of the wheels I've had on the GTI so far.

Your car has come a long way, nice work! Best colour too

I have a few questions regarding your headlights.. where abouts is the sidelight located? Is it next to the indicator like the genuine ones? Do they have a working shutter for full/dipped beam like the genuine xenons?

Cheers. The sidelight bulbs are next to the indicators. They don't have the working shutter as far as I know.

Alright sweet, am I right in thinking that the Depo Xenons have the sidelight in the same position as the regular halogens? I'm unsure what Xenons to get, same as yours or the Depos!

You can adjust the height of yours with the control from inside the car right?

I'm not sure where the side light bulbs are in the depo ones. I think I read in a thread that they are in the high beam reflector like the halogens.
I can adjust mine from the inside of the car. The only thing is a few people people have asked me about my ones and when I've tried to find a link for them I've not been able to find them anywhere. Don't know if there was limited stock or not. They are made by hella so would've thought they would be easier to come by...

Cars looking really well dude! If you don't mind, please could you give me some indication of the time it took for the diff/clutch kit to be fitted and a rough cost? As it's something I'm considering getting done to mine soon...

Cheers. Alex at AKS said he needed the car for a couple of days. As I was working for 7 days in a row I left it with him for a week. He billed me for 8 hours labour so I'd allow 2 days minimum. Total bill was just over £2200 that includes clutch, DMF, release bearings etc, LSD, gearbox fluid and wheel alignment. (And labour of course)

Thanks!

Another small update. Just maintenance, no mods. The cars had a service including oil, oil filter, brake fluid (with ABS pump activation via VCDS), pollen filter and spark plugs. Also had the MOT done today

Great looking car you've got her mate, and some impressive mods.

Fitted a Badgeless grill that I bought from forum member @th3_f15t

After

Will be fitting a magnetic number plate. Still have the bonnet notch fill to fit once it's painted.
