Haha, VW removed my collection of air fresheners when I took it for its MOT. Bast*rds! Haha, Tints it is!! I've decided if they are slightly darker they will look much better, its only £60 for them painting aswell so I can't moan!

Jeez, how bad did your car smell?  :evil:

It smelt bloody excellent 50 Air Fresheners later! haha! :evil:

Does anyone know how to fit HID's to a MK6 Golf!? It's a bloody nightmare. If you are the police ... I will only use my HID's off road and not on the public highway .... I promise.  :whistle: :wink:

Oh god, don't start the HID debate off again.   They are not popular on here, to say the least, mainly because they are illegal in reflector headlamps and dangerous to other drivers.  Here's a taster for you http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=261860.msg2406465#msg2406465

That said, If you look in the mk6 maintenance + info child board, there is a thread about fitting in there.

Hmmm, well what do you recommend? I hate the standard bulb's I've got, and Ice white or Ice blue bulbs just f*ck my bulb holders up!

Also, I can not add a picture to my signature and its annoying me! How do I do it!

Good ;) So HID's are frowned upon here ... I always thought they looked pretty good, I never really get blinded by them ........

I'm no expert on bulbs as I've got oem Xenons  :tongue:  but the consensus seems to be fitting updated bulbs is the way to go, i.e. Osram Nightbreakers.  Have a look in the thread I linked, as a couple of options are mentioned in there.

Re adding a pic to your sig, if you're using Flickr:
In Flickr, go to your chosen photo, click on the icon that's a rectangle/box with a sweeping arrow (along bottom right of the page)
Click on the 'grab the HTML/BBC code link.  Select and copy the link text.
Go to signature box in your forum profile and paste in the link.

Choose medium size 500, otherwise it may be too big.

You should be good to go  :cool:

Nice one! Got it sorted now! Hmmm Jealous of the OEM Xenon's, I'm jealous of anything compared to the candles in my golf!  :cry: Need to paint the back brakes this weekend! :laugh:
