What did you and your MK2 do today?

[tonto]

i currently have the extrema 120% philips bulbs, as for bulbs they are great. give good coverage and distance but they have a typical halogen colour to them. this didnt bother me at first, then i fitted my smd led side lights which are white/blue it makes them really stand out.

ive just ordered a set of mtec cosmos blue h7 bulbs. ill post a pic before and after once ive fitted them.

i was told before that cosmos blue has worse coverage than the super white MTECs!

yeah they would be, im aware of this but i dont drive much any more so not too fussed about coverage and want something that will match my sidelights too.

so long as it looks good, im happy. if im doing a long night run ill put the philips extreme back in.

Can't be any worst than the oem bulbs?

 

[sfmk2.]

It's really stressing me out this HID malarkey! Why the doesn't my Leon like them?!
As for MTEC vs. Osram... I can't have lights that Dont light up the road (MTEC), they'd stress me out big style. On the same token,if I buy Osram night breakers they will stand out against my LED side lights .

It's a lose/lose/lose sitch !!

Finally!

Decided I need to sell my carbon scuttle to find the bill from the garage

On the chaps car that tried it on today

 

[Jarre]

That is smart!

Started installing LEDs in my boot, need to find some solder to finish them off though!

 

[tonto]

mike where the hell did you get that? its stunning! should have sold it to me.

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Thanks mate. I haven't sold it yet. It's part of my £1250 carbon bonnet, only 2 were made. don't really want to part with it but needs must I think

 

[GrahamFR]

Looks nice that mike, how much and where you selling it on?

 

[LC_15]

yea price mike, or you could always ask a Carbon fibre part manufacturer if they would like to make a copy so us guys could get some

 

[GrahamFR]

The plastic one always looks faded in my eyes, so this looks great

 

[Fishy]

Had a set of Bilstein B16 PSS10's, Whiteline WALK and AutoTECH rear sway bar installed. Just got to tweak the bump and rebound to suit city driving.

I don't think I've ever seen a car that shiny before.

What spoiler is that you've got?

Greetings folks - well after two weeks with the new car I got a tyre pressure warning light, so went to get it checked out and needed two new tyres after 800 miles. Ouch.

A few mods minor cosmetic mods carried out:

Dealer Badges Removed
Plain Number Plates
Seat Tax Disc Holder
Seat Valve Caps
Aluminium/Red Handbrake Cover (read overpriced piece of plastic...)
Stubby aerial went on but removed after problems with DAB reception.

Hmmm, great - can't post pictures yet. Makes this rather a pointless post.

Oh well - 2012 2.0 TDI 170 in black.
