Xenons in UK: not very popular?

[Garza]

£1800 xenons or two mk2 Golf GTi's... I know which option I'd prefer 

I bet you couldn't buy the mk2 in your sig for £1800!

£900 in fact  so the cost of 1 xenon heh

I would like to see were you would get 2 decent mk2 GTis for that money.

My GTI is pretty reasonable for half the price

So you paid £555 for your 91 mk2 GTI 8V, ie half the current price of xenons, i bet it has been round the world a few times with galactic miles, has some running problems maybe, worn out bushes or interior or makes tettle teabags look solid once you start poking and prodding it for that price.  As something up with it for that price either that or you got a bargin.

sorry, was under the impression xenons were a £1800 option... my mistake. Nope my car cost me £900... and it is getting towards galactic milage... 189,800  aiming to get to 200,000 then decide whether or not to get a newer GTi... depending on how much I save £££££

Had them as std on the R32. were they good? yes.

were they £1000+ good no! i wouldnt even pay £500 for them if it was an option. There honestly isnt that much of a difference in terms of what you can see. They just have a clearer light and look good.

Thats one of the most ridiculous things I've read on this forum to date. Very surprised it came from you.

I suppose your an ugly f**k*r and think beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that your fat but call yourself big boned too ?

Who says xenons are not popular?

Quite a few folks on this forum have xenons and they are all well in favour of them.  Personally I find them quite remarkable, where I live once out of town it is all open countryside with loads of hills and so I find them an absolute godsend.

I specced my xenons over the leather option because I can live without leather but I could'nt bear to be without my xenons.

As I don't do much long distance night time driving, I did not spec them.
I think they are rather nice to have and I would in retrospect spec them. I was being extremely stingy when I specced the car.
Poor Wolfgang has miopic vision because of me!
I'd like my car to wink at Kev's whenever we meet head-on!
..... In the stationary mode obviously!

...... and wth Gizzy in the dynamic mode!

Off topic, but here we go!

Won't touch the sides (!) or the front lips. Just the rear ones which I hope to hand-in (!) on Friday.

You bring out the best in me!

Xenons are a cars necklace, alloys are the designer shoes and rear LEDs are the anklets!
How gloriously camp!
