OMG......this looks horrid (just my opinion !!!!). The fogs are good but need smoked blank and indicator and the headlights look like something Stevie Wonder has done. Should be restricted to the inner chamber only if done properly and I won't even mention those extra spotlights.   Sorry Bud

wow. If your neck of the woods is dark enough to warrant extra lights at least you wont be able to see the front of your own car  :sick:

If you really needed extra lighting you should have picked something like these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/fog-light-lamp-kit-VW-Golf-mk-3-incl-wiring-and-grille-/160604402825?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2564c4b489

Doesn't matter , I just looking opinions. This lights, I think it's better in an older car...
The fog light are a gift...
The smoked lights when I have more money. I prefer engine performance.

No offence but they are nasty and the semi tinted headlights don't help.

Much better, i'd like to yellow tint my headlights but i don't think its legal in the uk.
p.s why have you moved the registration plate?
Title: Re: Looks good?
Post by: lars2.0 on 15 July 2012, 17:47
Because I have some  holes at the bumper, for a better air inlet to radiator and get a better refrigeration. Here we are at 40º and the car gets very hot.
I'm considering to install a engine timer or turbo timer....for  to lower the oil temperature gradually and I  can leave the car.,closed and lowering the temperature

Post by: Gavv8 on 15 July 2012, 17:51
Ok that makes sense, you could fit a small oil cooler instead though.
Title: Re: Looks good?
Post by: lars2.0 on 15 July 2012, 18:02

Me too .... Tempted to lose the vento front in favour of this. Not sure though!!

I'm currently experimenting with a spare lense i have with some yellow glass paint on the inner chamber, just waiting for it to cure and will report back with some results. Alternatively you can get pure yellow H1 bulbs off the lamin-x website but they are like £25 but they will more or less turn the inner chamber yellow.

Well like I said was experimenting and this is the result....

(http://i1034.photobucket.com/albums/a430/CupraTurbo81/P7170099.jpg)

Just some yellow glass paint off ebay (a few quid) and dapped on using a wee bit of sponge and left to cure over night. I was dubious as it just looked like yellow paint when applying it but turned out this lovely transparent golden yellow which should lool awesome. Going to do my headlights like this along with the joey mod later in the week.

That car is a guys of svag, met him when I got a radiator of him when I first got my Mk3. really nice car that, kind of inspired mine a wee bit. I definately know those light centres are done using glass paint. Also when painting the black on its best to use a cotton bud and dab it on as trying to brush it on doesn't work too well. I'd be tempted to use the sponge method with the black too.
