Was going to change headlight and sidelight bulbs but iv noticed recently once warmed up my headlights are alot whiter than my sidelights which are yellowy so i think they may have already been upgraded
Anybody recommend any good sidelights, error free ones! There was a topic on here about it. But after a few searches i cant find it anywhere

 

[Roganjosh]

And to keep woth the topic today i, went a shade darker on the tints, carbon wrapped rear quarter and ordering spacers coilover update hopefully this weekend

I need some inspiration about rim colours that look good on a yellow Cupra. Any tips?
As you can see in the background my current Orions are glossblack, I wont do the same colour twice so black is not in the picture.

Looking good man! Mind me asking what percentage the tints are?

Did you take the lights off or just leave them on the car?

Left the lights on as suggested in the kit instructions.. Although my RH side outer cluster was quite tight to the body on the lower edge which did make getting the plastic applicator card in to tuck the film around the edge of the light a little tricky..

There's this dip they do where custom paints and graphics can be done. I think its called hydro dip. You can get a custom gloss black,carbon etc with subtle little ghosted seat emblems over the wheel.

i decided last night i would try to separate my spare boot handle so i can spray the S Badge. got the pin out and set to about the separation but gave up after an hour. need help here :S

decided i had some hard board laying about and those dimension for making an Airbox so set about cut that out so i cna make a template for fibreglass. trial fit was erm... an eye opener. not sure who made these dimension but it will not do. a few tweaks later i now have a full template for an airbox to fibreglass from.

one thing what size screw goes in the little gold hole next to teh battery i have utilised that as a securing point

Did you order projectors from retrofit source? Which ballasts and bulbs did you go for?
I've ordered mine almost a month ago and still not arrived. Been held at customs for over a week and then another week at parcelforce because they couldn't find my payment.

Good luck splitting your headlights!

Fleabay... Especially on German eBay there are 1-2 sets available.
Just 2 days after they my set was shipped to me a brand new set with new tyres showed up on a Dutch site. It's 1385 pounds (1600 euro) + shipping though.

Never seen this, looks good though! I dont think there is anyone doing this in the Netherlands unfortenately...

 

[Roganjosh]

Thats only 35% over factory tint! Turned out great 2bh, much better than the factory dip but still light enough to see the headrests from outside and inside still has good visibility

Well gents, car was picked up Monday 18th and took some quick snaps before it got mucky... what do you think?

Hi Gents,

After a bit of advice, I'm going to Fly eye the rear light clusters (red looks too much) but after some advice... on the website it says there is either Black or Grey, which would blend in better with the colour of the car?

 

[Smee]

make sure you get enough to do all light and reflectors and my STRONG advise is get a spare 3rd brake light as the clips brake when it comes out and will not go back properly

not sure what the difference is as i got mine from ebay for colour mine was a light Black

I was just going to order LOADS of the stuff, rather have excess than not enough. Where is the cheapest to get the 3rd brake light or should I just go Seat?

 

[Smee]

id go seat personally that way its new fresh and will know it will fit. they are a BITCH to get out so might be able to get them to pop your old one out for you. i spent about an hour getting mine out. if your careful im sure you could apply it whilst still on teh car. i did the rest of mine that way that was the only light i took out
