Hey there, loving the pics.
Like the gear knob, where did you find the vw sunglasses holder?
How are you finding the osram nightbreakers, fitted them on mine a while ago. Fairly pleased with them but could be better!

The sunglasses holder I got from one of those cheap Hong Kong ebay sites for about £2.50, the "genuine" ones on ebay where about £17... couldn't justify the extra cost....
More info here:- http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=162846&highlight=sunglasses
The hightbreakers I find are excellent at full beam and are certainly better than the Bosch bulbs that came standard in the car.
The gear knob...that used to be someones on here....:whistle: they found it to be too big...

New addition.... Key (eBay) and blade cut (Timpsons) - total cost £30, quite chuffed! :)
Moved the glass chip / transponder from the old non-remote key... still needs a little filing round the edges to get rid of the screwdriver marks and to make it fit back together absolutely perfectly... but to the un-trained eye it looks fine!

HID's Part 1

Right. After much reading and thinking I decided to install the HID's again.
H4 Bi-Xenon's - full beam versions.

Halogens - Halfords Super Brilliance Blue.
Dipped Beam.

To make sure it was all aligned properly I parked facing a wall, didn't move the car, installed the bulbs and checked the new bulbs where aligned ok.

HID's Part 2

HID's 6000k, it's super super difficult to take a photo of HID's and get the effect of them.
Happy now as at least my headlights match the LED sidelights.

Ask anyone on here and they will all agree it is the best value for money mod you can do to your car.
Technically there aren't legal but no-one on here has ever been pulled for it.
If you have the twin headlights it's the H7R type bulbs to get I believe.
