H&R Springs fitted plus a bit of rear end LED bling!
« on: June 24, 2009, 09:42:59 pm »
Having seen the great results of SteveP fitting his recent H&R Springs I thought I fancied a set of those! My car was looking far to high against everyone elses at the Superchips RR Day so bit the bullet and went for it!  8)
Here are the before pics:






The springs finally got fitted after a bit of a set back by us not having all the necessary tools!  :laugh:







I then made the mistake of reading the thread on the LED's and fell in love with them, I was fortunate enough to find a cheap set so thought sod it lets have em, if I dont like them I can sell them on! Having spent the weekend following RR I knew they would look good but only if I fitted the outer lights as the inners would just look to bling IMO.
See what you guys think! :happy2:

KccHello  :signLOL:

I was just going to post a thread asking where are the pics.  :smiley:

Need more pics of the lights please, I see what you mean about it looking to bling against the black. I think i need to see it in the flesh really.  :smiley:

The stance is looking a whole lot better.  :party: :party:

Do you know what may make it work. You know i was asking you for your reversing lens, I reckon if you changed your fog lens to white like  i want to do then that may give it good symmetry.  :smiley:

Just a thought.

+1 for 'white' fog light - looks a whole lot better.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Yeah I think I may take the one out of my standard pink GTI lenses and see how it looks. Then find a red bulb! :happy2:

Yeah white fogs look much better!  :happy2:

Swapping the lens is pretty easy, I took one apart not long ago and it was only a 5 minute job.  The lenses are pretty cheap on eBay too.

Cheers Tom, I have 3 sets of lights now so I will butcher my original GTI lenses! But yeah it does look much better! Have you got a red fog light bulb or will you just put it back to red on MOT day?

nice Mark  :happy2: , out of interest did you ebay the springs or get them from DPM?
As regards the lights I see what youve tried to do but I think youll have to add the inner parts too imho.
It just doesnt quite match otherwise.
Would love the LED lights too, as Ive said on another thread they are sooooo much safer.
On a black car its a toughie.
I do however reckon some very lightly tinted laminex film over them would tie them into the black and take the 'edge' off the white, making them suitable for a black car.
Thats what I'd do if I got a set anyway  :signLOL:

thats what spending time with TC/Greenouse/RR does to you lol, whats next ?  :grin:
