You should be fine with hids, just make sure if you need to get any warranty work done that requires the dealer to lift the bonnet, that you have taken them out.

Led sidelights and number plate lights tidy up most cars and is a good cheap mod :)

Thought about lowering it? Standard suspension sits way too high, just like the mk4!

Don't buy all LEDs for side lights as they will put the dash warning light on.

Buy 2 packs of ULTRA 501 sidelights bulbs THESE ONES

They should give a nice white lights without the warning light :) and cheap too

I tend to get the piss taken out of me by my neighbour for cleaning my car on usually a weekly basis...I have a nice car, whats wrong with keeping it clean? I don't think I've seen some of my neighbours clean their cars EVER in the 6 years I've lived here!! lol

Car looks nice and clean. I clean my car (mostly) on a weekly basis, and wax every month, the neighbours probably think i'm mad as they never wash their cars, they got an 11 reg at the beginning of march and only washed it for the first time the other day :ban:

Everyone's different but we have 4 cars and a motorbike in our house and they are all kept spotless! In fact I'm sure my dad has washed his bike twice this weekend lol! I think some people see it as a chore but for me its a good chance to get a tan on....yes the sun does sometimes shine in scotland :D

Lol at the tanning, my neck got a bit stingy a few weeks back when we had a spell of decent weather when cleaning my car. Sun is long gone now though :(

I get this everytime i clean my car at my parents house, have the usual ''Oh you can do my car afterwards'' etc etc.

Think its the whole thing of not seeing a female often washing the car and not caring for it as much as other girls.

Gotta treat it like i treat myself, clean and smelling/looking good haha.

I get the cleaning digs too. I even clean the 'rents A6 for them as I can't stand seeing it dirty on the drive next to mine!

Must say though I've never yet got a tan washing the car, it's either sunnier in Scotland than Manchester or I'm not dressed scantily enough :redface:
