the LED's are just tacky yuck. Let the corsa boys do that chavvy stuff, unless its incorporated into the headlights by a aftermarket maker or its a oem option its rubbish.

Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
No, no, no, no, no. An abomination. Why do this to such a beautiful piece of machinery. Like the side lights tho. A 'must do' for mine
OMG - Lets just keep that lighting to the Audi's.
It's just awfull - I expect to see them on Corsa's and Clio's in weeks from now (as soon as Halfrauds get some stock!).

Ford introduced bonnet vents on the Escort RS Turbo... Barry fitted them to his Scrote
MG introduced the machined hex bolted fuel cap... Barry fitted them to his MG Shitestro
Lexus introduced the chromed rear lights... Barry fitted them to Citroen Paxo
Audi introduced the LED Daytime Running Lights... What do you think Barry will do next?!
When you take an element (the LEDs) from the holistic design (the R8) and then use that element on an alternative application (any other car) the result will look like a cheap copy. It will NOT look as good as the original implementation.
Take a look at the new A4 - the OEM Daytime Running Lights are integrated in to the design of the headlamp unit and look really good. But step back from the headlamp unit and take a look at the car overall and the headlamps look pants. In my opinion.
Innovate, don't imitate....
Think of the Apple iMac... everything became see-through plastic... And because the design ethos Apple developed wasn't applied to these cheap copies then when compared to genuine Apple products they just looked pants...

well.... Ive got the lexus lights, eye brows, aerokit, debadged basically everything to make it what you lot call a "Chav car" an I couldn't care less to be honest atleast i know there isnt another leon like mine around! So I think those led's in the aerokit are the next step for me!
Are they just individual leds? they don't look like strips

You go for it Gaz, the opinions of people on here are not representative of the majority by any stretch of the imagination.
horrray i will second that and totally agree with you ![ & unclefester]
some people talk complete
cr*p ie post 24 be individual good on you imao
www.barryboys.co.uk
The owners of every one of those sheds think their cars are 'individual'...
Don't get me wrong, I like custom cars, just not badly done ones... And I think the Leon is pretty as is, perhaps enhanced with the skirts and the spoilers and even the Aero kit has grown on me.... But brows to make the car look 'angry' are a bit naff...
I was just doing what the OP asked for - peoples opinions - so I gave mine!
It would be a boring place if we were all the same.

Which is why you sold the Leon and bought the Audi
Afterall nothing shouts individuality more than buying what every other sales rep is buying No doubt when you ticked the options on the S line list you thought you were being individual. Even the BOSE audio kit ( as good as i'm sure it is) is just the same as the one every other Audi driver can order.I also think suggesting someone belongs on barryboys just because they fitted some led lights is a tad OTT. Personally, having tried ( in vain) to read barryboys it's my opinion that a good portion of the posters on that site lack basic english skills (something that annoys me far more than a badly placed spoiler) never mind their taste in cars although I accept that's not the point of the site.
I just wonder how much of it is down to real need to express an opinion and how much of it is down to keyboard thumping - you didn't choose that nickname for no reason
Yada yada yada....
Hey, I'm indervidjewal wi mi S-Line... I thort Sales Reps drove Vectra's or Mondeo's...
Yep, BOSE does sound good. Its even better 'cos I can hear the radio over the road noise...
As I said the OP asked for opinions. I gave mine. If you post asking for opinions, don't start whining when you get some you don't like!
You lot go stick tat on your cars. See if I care!
Edit: I am of course joking... All I was trying to say was that it's a fine line between customising your car to be individual (I did it with my Leon, so I am not slating any one for it!) and being Barry, which was the point of post #24. If you aren't mindful of what you are doing you will end up something that looks awful.
ATEOTD it is down to what makes you happy. What does it matter what I think?!
Just don't do this: http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=28224
Are we all friends now?!

FWIW I think the FR looks better than the Aero.

muffin!
Hehe now that's truly awful, you'd need a LOT of R8 fake lights on your car to get into that territory
I never stopped loving you, just don't use your tongue next time you kiss me
I still prefer the Mk1 to the Mk2
Its all just ait of banter seen as they were getting such a slating from everyone I thought I would mix it up abit. And stick up for the lights! Im still thinking of doing it though, the ones on the aero kit look klass! still don't like the strips!
@Leoncp11 - I used to dislike it until I had a good look at Blade's Candy K1 in the flesh and I changed my mind...
The only thing I still have a slight issue about is the 'vents of fakery' but thats just because I used to work in new product development (product design) and I'm a bit anal about 'surface decoration'; things should have a purpose...
But other than that I likey!
PS @Fester - its only sales execs that have an A4... The reps have Vectra's...

just thought i would show you lot this i found... (not that i actually want to do it !)
What would I need to do to wire these into the side lights or how much would it cost to be done at a garage (estimated) any ideas?
I love the aero kit LEDs, talked about doin' mine - looks mint - red ones ont tharse end also would look good!
