Collected my Front splitter, GTI Grills and Spotlights yesterday. Unfortunatly the right spotlight grill is on backorder apparently so i got to wait til wednesday to fit the spots, but here is a quick preview so far!
Thanks

Looking sweet there mate, are the RS4 wheels 4 stud ? will look better when the fogs are fitted
Just needs a GTi Boot Spoiler or an aftermarket one now mate
I got one off ebay for £50 incl delivery and it was a genuine VW one that just needed painting and sticking on !

Already got a spoiler but its only primered, going on holiday in 2 months so i cant really afford much more this month. Yeah they are RS4 Wheels, 4stud! Im working quite a bit soon when im off college so it will be getting treated to another few goodies, but not overkill because im getting a GTi in september after my birthday (insurance).

Looking very nice mate. When you get the spoiler painted, get the splitter colour-coded at the same time.

Im after some centre caps for my AUDI RS4 wheels now, dont like these VW ones that much. My dad has them on his AUDI so i tryed them and it looks so nice. Wonder if VAGPARTS would be able to get me some...
Anyone got any ideas how much they would be?

Just need a 1.8T engine to match the wheels

The skirts are the same as far as im aware. They are not added side skirts they are actually part of the car, like metal if you get what i mean. You cannot buy GTi side skirts from VW they only come with the cars.
As for the lights, i heard that you need a few other parts for the conversion other then just the light units themselfs, could be very expensive. £140 for each light then other parts, from VW. Not worth the money in my opinion.
If had was going to spend £400 on my car, id choose collies over lights anyday. I got full new "xenon bulbs" and replaced all my orange bulbs with clear ones. It looks really clean now.
Thats my opinion only though,
Phill.

It is very expensive to retro-fit the HID lighting from the GTi, and I too would choose coilies over xenons if I had to make that choice! Luckily I've got the xenons on my GTi, and I have to say that they're simply awesome
The only (very minor) issue I have is that the high-beam and sidelight bulbs are very yellow by comparison and let the whole effect down just a little, but I haven't yet gotten round to fitting "xenon-effect" bulbs like Phill!
