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?

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.

Cheapest mods are sometimes the most noticable :)

Then get some plain pressed plates and your well away :P

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 :P

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.
