Where's the alloys!?

Cupra alloys? I'm still looking for a set. It makes things so awkward when you have to organise getting them shipped across to Ireland. Next good set I see though, I'm nabbing them :D


Moved the aux cable into the compartment under the steering wheel. Have an ipod holder to fit and that will sort the ipod side of things with no wires visible:

H3 xenon style bulbs ordered aswell to finish the headlights but won't be here until the 4th of January :(

H3 bulbs for the main beam. The dipped beam are H7 and thats what the HIDs are for.


Main beams not H3?

Personally I wouldn't bother doing them though.

Yep mains are H3, hope they are anyway. Someone mentioned they were H1 but I thought that was the fogs. We'll see soon enough anyway.

They were only €10 and I'd like to have all the lights matching so just went for it. Will all be fitted as soon as the H3 bulbs are here and we'll see the results :D

H3 bulbs arrived today so swapped my LED side lights and silvatec indicator bulbs over to my twin headlamps. HIDs and H3s fitted aswell.

Will be intrigued to see how your full beam looks next to your HIDs :)
Hope you have more luck at matching than I've had :(

Good man :)

Aye I need to come to realise this too. I only actually swapped one bulb the other day, passenger side I couldn't do without removing batery and casing etc or taking off bumper. So I'll have to do that this weekend (if I remember). But they are practically the same anyway, only a tiny difference :(

Got my twin headlights installed today after an epic battle trying to get my bumper off haha.

Bumper off:

Lights changed over:

And a terrible phone pic of the HIDs:

Very happy with the result. HIDs look glary but are very good in person. Still have to adjust them as didn't get round to that today. Will get better pics tomorrow as it got dark on me today.

Have to get the car off to an autoelectrician as I have the expected problem of the dipped beam turning off when the main beam is turned on.

@wrayvon - I will get a picture for you tomorrow of the main beam but just to let you know they are very yellow :(

Can i ask where you got the cupra spoiler and how much it cost? and whats the difference to the normal one?

Got it on here from SERE and got it for £35 as it was on sale. The difference is that it comes out further then the original if that makes sense and there is a lip at the end of it that points up. Didnt explain it very well so i'll go look for some pics now ;)
