Noticeable differences?

Theres a few photos... so i'm going to put the link in here so hope it works, if not let me know.

Few problems... on the front left headlight theres a gap between the bumper and light (flush on other side). Also coming up on my dash that front left light is out but it does work same as the other side.
Indicators work
LED DRL's work fine on Auto Mode and stay on... no coding required?

Other than that its all good!??!

Also threw in the GTI seat inserts for good measure.... next.... Yellow Fogs.

Nice one, they really transform the front    Do you think you'll be able to sort out the gap?  Hopefully they won't throw any other errors.  Got vcds?

Seat inserts look nice too, not seen those colour ones in situ before, good match with the tartan.

I wait with bated breath for the yellow fogs

Hopefully, because when i use the headlight washers i think the water gets on the inside of the headlight hence why it's got condensation in it atm, but where the bumper clips on at the very end slightly bent when we took it off, if i can't fix it myself i'll have to take it to a vag specialist to have a look at, will be going anyway due it showing 'bulb out' on both front left and right, even though they work just fine.

Whats vcds....   

Seat inserts aren't as orange as they look, probably just the flash, but a nice red.

What if i told you... they are coming from China... shipping time..... 18-24 days.... 

[Booth11]

Yeah best get it looked at.  Is the condensation in both lights or just the one with the gap?  If it's in both it'll most likely dry out over next few days, and if not, you can always pop a couple of those silica gel sachets in to absorb the moisture.

VCDS (formerly known as VAG-COM) is an on board (OBD) diagnostic tool that can read some modules of you car's ECU.  It's a Windows-based software that allows a PC to act as a diagnostic tool for VW/Audi/SEAT/Skoda vehicles.  Not cheap for the genuine cable but you can pick up cheaper ones on eBay, but they can be hit and miss.  Useful to have if you do a lot of modding.

Are you not just ordering the yellow film to go over your fogs?

Just the one side, (left), im hoping it does but if not by the time i take it to vagtech i'll get them to have a look at it.

Ah no i dont, i would have no idea how to use it even if i did, and besides i was expecting the DRL's not too work on the auto function and they do, (my main justification for xenons ), so was predicting i'd have to take it along somewhere to get that done. I also use a Mac and i putting windows on it again is tiresome 

Yeah i am, i was going to order the lamin-x ones, but found some cheapos on ebay first to see if i actually like the look.

[Snooze]

Yeah i think i might keep the black exhaust... and maybe the layer of grim (student budget  ).

Yabot, I polished my tailpipes today, so just to remind you what clean ones look like I took a photo for you...





...Sorry, couldn't resist   

Your tailpipes look stunning booth! Can u tell me how to get mine to look that good?

Hi Snooze

Well it took about 2 mins to get them like that, but that's because I'm and OCD car freak and never let them get too dirty

Achieving it depends on how bad they are to start, but as I think I said to Yabot, if they've got a lot of carbon deposit, start with a bit of fine grade 000 steel wool and some metal polish.  If they're not that bad then just polish on a microfibre.

One thing I often do, pre wash, is give them a squirt of Bilberry Wheel cleaner at same time I do my wheels and let that dwell, then normal wash followed by the polish stage and final buff with a fresh mf.

I've tried both Autosol and Auto Finesse metal polish but neither come close to Mothers Mag & Aluminium Polish.  You will need to really work the polish in with the cloth or wool to remove the soot.   If using steel wool be careful as it can cause unsightly scratches (mine have a few). 

Once you've got them up to a decent state, a regular wash and polish with Mothers (buffed off with a very soft microfibre) should keep them looking tip top
