Great write up guys, hopefully picking my mk5 up next week. Robin, initially I didn't like your DRL (I know you don't care) but I find them growers I'm liking them more and more as I see the pictures, and if nothing else I totally like the fact they are round in a world of strip DRL and good job blazing a trail getting them fitted with a cool write up.
Has anybody tried the smoked versions ? My Mk5 is black and I'm hoping the smoked ones look more subdued as I'm going for safety over bling. Also how are insurance companies finding the safety addition of DRL ? Money off the premium no doubt ? 
....Glad mine have grown on you!
The high-end Alfa's have round ones by Hella too.
There's possibly a slight contradiction when you say: "I'm hoping the smoked ones look more subdued as I'm going for safety over bling" as the more subdued they are, the less safety effective they are. They need to be seen even in bright sunny conditions - Making both slower vehicles in front and oncoming traffic aware of your presence and likely intention to overtake, regardless of dark shadows or bright sunlight.
Not a serious question no doubt, but insurance companies won't reduce your costs due to having DRLs - All new cars built beyond a certain date (in 2012 IIRC) are obliged to have them as OEM. Declare them to an insurer though, if only so they can be replaced in a claim.
