Just got my Honeycomb grill and xenon effect headlight and sidelight bulbs.

I think the new grill looks really nice and I can't wait to get the badges changed to black! (Rear badge is waiting to go on) What do you guys think?

Cheers, Dan

The honeycomb grill looks great

What bulbs did you use?

I've got Eurodezigns H7 and LED sidelights, they look really white. Try taking a night shot for the headlights.

I got them from vagparts, they are branded as VW.

Thanks and I will take a night shot of the headlights. They are just a xenon effect bulbs for now as I can't afford xenons lol.

Right, I just went and took a couple of pics now its dark.

Sorry for the poor quality, took them on my phone and its not great in the dark, but I think you can just about tell the new bulbs are more white than the original bulbs which seemed sort of yellow.

Get some chrome indicator bulbs dude, check ur sig out to see the amberness

Invest in some HIDs mate, they r so worth it you have no idea!

DanOliver · Post by **DanOliver** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:15 pm

I will get some HID's when I get some money and I see what you mean about the amberness now

Cheapest mods are sometimes the most noticable

Then get some plain pressed plates and your well away

The GTi grille was the first thing i bought for my car lol

It's not been the first thing I bought, but then you started with a car which I assume had CL already installed

I am gonna get all the minor cosmetic bits out the way before I go lowering the car because of the insurance for now

I don't mind though, can plan it better and have summit to look forward to.
