Let there be light...

When you factor in the price for the basic GTI and then add on whatever options you require, the car becomes up in the region of what have always been classed as "premium cars" and therefore IMO xenons, cruise control, rear camera and parking sensors especially should already be in the basic spec.  I reckon the only options that you should have to pay for are larger alloys, and sunroof.

I think VW should take a long hard look at themselves and stop trying to rip off their punters.

Too right Amanda.
Even more so with an R which comes with a pretty basic spec list for a £30k car (even though is has Xenons) and looks like a base model inside unless you spec some expensive kit.

So, can we gave a breakdown of the parts used please?

Sure, nothing exotic. I'll drop it up this weekend.

Alex: Are you sure your lights are aligned correctly?   

Is that a bottle under the car or is it part of the Xenon retro-fit?  :embarassed: 

Love the scaffolding.

Pretty sure. I installed the awesomeness module as well, the lens flare you're seeing is from the awesomeness field that surrounds the car.

I can give you the part number from the VW parts catalogue if you like?

Thanks, but no thanks. Quite capable of shelling out loads-of-money on something I won't use too often or see the benefit in town driving.

Indeed, an awesome glow comes from the awesomeness field that surrounds the car, this feature comes as standard on all genuine xenon headlamps

Still saving for the re-spray huh? Once you go black, you don't go back.

Stop it, you two flashers. I hope you both live happily with your faintly illegal lights!
