Yea mate.. simple slide on job.. once you get them u'll see. all u gotta do is take the headrest out and slide them onto the bars. something like £5 too.. so cheap mod.. Makes the interior look a little more sporty too! :D

Got the rear light cluster fitted yesterday.. Makes the rear look far better IMO.

Before:

After:

Also got chrome exhaust trims:

I want these to be a temporary fix until I can save up for a proper exhaust! :p

Looking very good to me mate!

I like the rear light mod... would do it myself but I don't know whether to go all red or have 2 matching ones with the clear reverse bit. My car is light blue not red which makes the decision harder I think...

Your HIDs look nice and white too, nothing worse than ending up facing some muppet with really blue HIDs, just looks cheap.

I think some nice H&R lowering springs would set yours off beautifully.

Cheers mate. Dunno if you'd be leagally allowed to do it that way though.. unless u cud get a red bulb as its illegal to not have a red fog light on the drivers side in the uk - it isn't a legal requirement to have a reversing light, as far as I know of anyway. (this makes mine red! lol)

Yea, they are exactly how I wanted them to be, really hate the very blue chavvy HIDs about.. seem to be more every week around here. These have a very OEM look about them, and that will prob help not being pulled by the rozzers! lol

That looks unreal Maverick! Those Cupra alloys really make a difference, and I love the HID's, makes it look real classy.
The matching rear light is a nice wee mod too, makes the rear look more symmetrical.
A bit of a drop and it would be complete :D

I think legally you can get away with just shoving a red bulb in, MOT testers only check the function of the rear fog, not it's brightness :p So here's my problem! I still have a choice :lol:

*touch wood* I'm trying to get over the fact I've never been pulled by the plod, not even for a general check or anything. I thought 18 year old driver (now 19), fresh license, in a supermini... that's me pulled, but no, nothing yet!

Also been meaning to look into an exhaust tip for mine for a while, yours looks very well tbh. I'd be happy with that!

I'd say a red bulb would be grand.. if it shows up red then ur sorted.. the two clear lights would look good too, I just rathered all of them red. at least you can compare mine to what it could be..

I've never been stopped either, only when there's been a checkpoint, and it was a simple "show me ur license" job.. lol I suppose over here, the cops have more to be worried about!

I'm happy with the exhaust tip, but ther is one thing that annoys me about it.. u can see the fixings that hold it in from directly behind.. I'll throw a pic up of it now in 2 secs.

I was thinking about spraying these black to try to blend them in maybe..?
