good thread andy car always looking clean. any new back from diane shop?

how are the new brakes holding out?

any news on the exhaust ?

 

[AndrewJB]

Not heard from diane shop carnt stand these yellow bulbs

Brakes are great feel really good even at high speeds,bit squeaky now the weathers warmer tho apparently grooved discs do get squeaky tho.

MIltek got back to me ,They said the exhaust system for FR (ASZ) wont fit mine (AMF) so looks like im gonna have to go the custom route, im just holding out incase i get made redundant ,If i get a new job then its time for more MOD's lol unless i get a MK1 GTI then the money will be spent on that.

[AndrewJB]

[Rocky Rocastle]

looking good Andy,

any news about the lights mate, hope they aint stitched you up with them

 

[AndrewJB]

Right people some pics of previous updates and also MY HIDS ARE BACK (to answer rocky's question)

Cupra Air vent handles (and yes i have got chrome air vent surrounds)

Cupra Handbrake Cover

Cupra Handbrake cover + Seat Sport 5 speed ALU Gearknob

Audi TT Pedals

Hid's

Im a little unsure bout the hids the drivers side one looks brighter than the other,dont want them to blow like the last ones

 

[kenny_fr]

They look really blueish, what rating are they?

 

[knight85]

where they hard to fit? i have just ordered the same ones from dianes shop...im bit worried about fitting them...

 

[AndrewJB]

They look really blueish, what rating are they?

There 6000k ,there not blue there white its just the camera made them blue




There the Diane shop 6000k H7'S

There not hard to fit at all just fidly! the first set i didnt fit ,CupraMVR fitted them for me as im scared of anything to do with wires lol but i fitted these myself this time.

Basically you drill a hole in the back cover of hedlamps to fit wires through, mount the ballasts in arches then the fidly part ,is getting the bulb into the holder and clipping it in while trying to hold the rest of the wires and back cover.one bulb is in connect all wires and fit cover , The stand back and admire -Dont have ur eyes hear headlights when somebody turns them on lol it hurts

 

[knight85]

cheers andy.......i will give it a go myself first, if i fail i will have to ask a garage to do...like you wires etc..scare me

 

[AndrewJB]

or find a local member whos done it before?

its one of them things that is hard until you watch sumone else

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

yeah second that, whoever says this is a two min job again ..........TOSH! and they aint as easy as some people say either. i tried and failed miserably

looking good though Andy, glad they came back in the end

 

[AndrewJB]

Yeh me 2 ,Just hope they dont fck up again

if they do ill send back for refund and prob get a kit from awesome atleast then i can take it back in an hour,

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Maybe the drivers side looks brighter because the beam pattern needs adjusting

And you really need to clean your camera lens! Nice few mods though! I've been meaning to get a Cupra handbrake cover for a while - surprising how big a difference it makes! Good job!
