The GTi lights aren't joeyed yet but they will be. The Hellas I'm getting rid of because of a few reasons.

I want reasons! :D

Lack of monies, the law on HIDs, a different approach to this car instead of following what I did with my old car, oh and to keep DH happy.  :grin:

I'm not sure you can keep DH happy. You can make him less angry, but not happy  :grin:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

De badge the grill asap. Delete the rear badge and wiper. Stick on your home brew smoked head lights and your sorted.
No? :smiley:

I'd say leave the badges on but remove the rear wiper  :wink:

Another option for smoking your headlights would be to get some tint film from LL  :wink:

Yeah I never thought if that Dom. I'll have to have a word with him. As for the rear wiper, I wish to keep it as I like it. :)

Due to extreme (unprepared for) weather conditions, I decided to skid on ice at a downhill junction and hit a fence and mount the curb. The results are below, please bare in mind, my steering wheel was straight at the time of taking these pictures:





Excellent.


Had to wave through the interwebs for breakdown cover, RAC and AA were crap as they were focusing on their members, so new 'potential' members were sh!t out of luck. In the end I got Greenflag to come out, which fair play to them they were there within 20 minutes of me confirming my £95!  :shocked: call out charge. There is an upside though, I am now entitled to a years cover with them. :afro:

After being towed to a garage, the damage isn't as bad as I had assumed, new track rod is needed, and something else (can't remember, it's been a long day) and been told £95 so hopefully that will be that once it's done.

Didn't need this so close to my birthday and Christmas, was also due to drive to Southampton tomorrow but that isn't going to happen. Ah well.
