HID and the law.. (they are illegal)

[kells]

i think your right

lol @ the poxy VW reference  

Jap will always be the way forward

get one then

i already have one, its what i grew up on

they are fantastic, dont underrstand why your here if you think this, and dont give me the insurance crap, i had my swift gti before i passed my test when i was 17 and even did my test in it!! haha. cost me £2300 to insure it, the car was 5 years old at the time and its the best car i ever had (still got it)

i paid my insurance monthy, and just had a regular job, but the money spent was worth it


but io do love my golfs too (for other reasons, and i think you will/do too but wont admit it)

For your information dude it is the insurance side of things stopping me. I pay £545 with all mods declared at the moment. I'm unemployed and soon to be homeless so I can't be forking out over £2k for just my car insurance lol.

And you're right I do love my Golf, it feels a lot more luxurious compared to a Corsa/Clio/Saxo/106 .. I've been in those and if I'm honest they feel as though they're going to fall apart! Cheap nasty plastic crap haha

well, that took some reading, lol!

entertaining to say the least,
well on reading it all, i dont really want the hassle of hids, i just want to be able to see where im going at night legally!
i just got a good insurance quote with adrian flux with everything properly dedclared, so will be happy driving it now!
so.... should i start a thread on decent halogen bulbs, or does anyone have suggestions here...?
actually.... i think we shouldnt spam this thread... as it will be handy for people with the same quiery as me and put them off
will have a search and see if i can start any more 14 page rants, lol
*cheeers for the thoughts and suggestions though!

I have a pair of World War 2 search lights off of an actual boat/ship?

They're so heavy if I stuck them on the roof of my car, my car would probably collapse lol

They're massive aswell.. easily 3ft in diameter?
