Foodie's 2nd 9n Project **NEW PICS ADDED**

[foodie9n]

Got a bit bored during revision so decided to mod the car a little bit :p



Please excuse the dirt - too much motorway/laziness :/

Is this a new game? took me ages to spot the badges off the back

[foodie9n]

Can you tell what it is yet! :p

[foodie9n]

Had a little pressie turn up Friday morning for the Polo






so went out almost immediately to get them fitted as one of my bulbs had died

So this is what she looked like after about 3 hours because it was p***ing down and I forgot to buy a 25mm spade bit






Then finally all put back together - excuse the marks, just shows I haven't the poor bugger as well as all the hand prints :


Cheers, Mike

What's the beam pattern like? Does it spread everywhere? And are those the 6000ks?
Not sure whether to get the H7's or H7R's for mine

[foodie9n]

The beam on them is fantastic and will never need full beam again

I think the drivers side bulb is sitting up a bit as the beam is too high so need to sort that asap.
They are 6000k and I love them - not sure on the difference of H7 and H7R but these are perfect and cost less than £50

I'm also on the look out for the bush tool too as I am preparing a list for summer jobs such as coilies, colour coding etc etc

Mines in for MOT tuesday so if it gets brought up I think I'll get a garage to do it this time, too cold to be doing stuff like that.

h7R's are supposed to glare less, although Im not sure how well they work.

Would you be able to get a photo of the lights shining against a wall or something flat if its not too much hassle?
They definatly look better

Went to Sainsbury's to wash the car but jet wash was out of order so turned around and came back

Coming up main and hear and *dink* on rear window followed by glass shattering




And as we've been forecast rain had to cover her up



Luckily I've got windscreen cover on my insurance so getting a new one fitted tomorrow with a £70 excess

Was planning on de-wipering but a stone did it for me

they loose the beam pattern with reflector headlights mate, if you get a strict mot man they will fail it for them,

foodie... how did a stone flick up at the back window thats really unlucky man

[foodie9n]

@88rsr - think it was a car going past me kicked one up - sods law ey!

Also, with HID's, I think my drivers side one is too high, any idea how to fix this?

MIke

[CharlesK]

Not sure you can sort the beam with HIDs really

And sorry to hear about the window, should keep the tarp though, rat look ftw

[foodie9n]

When I get the glass fitted tomorrow, may ask them to put the grommet in for me

[chirag1988]

got the exact same HID kit as you mate, did you buy them from ebay? i bought the 8000K for my dipped beam and for my fogs as well. changed the sidelight to LEDs and it all matches up nicely! unlucky about the smashed rear window...at first i thought you were gonna say someone smashed it during the time you went up to the washer pump!

looking forward to seein the new mods, what you got planned next?

[foodie9n]

I think next will be:

- Coilies
- Colour Code
- iPod integration
- Full HID's
- May re-do wheels as they are a bit kerbed - colour suggestions??

Prob start all this in May/June once uni finished for summer

Any ideas welcome
Mike

[CharlesK]

Coilies and colour coding should definatly be next!
