Had another play with some headlights, just need to polish up the lens and then they will be on eBay unless I get an offer here!

Today I sat down with my Cupra and decided I probably need to sell some of its mods for the benefit of my new house (and help low cashflow).

I'm not going to make this a selling thread but stage 2 parts incl R diff & exhaust aswell as satnav might be going and hope to keep the Cupra when I go to my new house.

How much would you want for the diffuser im intersted??? ;)

Are the light standard ones for pre or xenon ones??

Is that a question to me? If so they are pre FL, they are bi-xenon which is connected to the existing full beam headlight giving you dual beam. However, this is only if you are going down the HID route....if you were to stay with standard halogen bulbs its a case of changing the wiring so that they act as both dipped and full beam. The existing side lights would still be used too.

Basically, unless the ballasts are fully charged the bi-xenons won't flash hence having the original full beam lights, however when your dipped beam is on the bi-xenon works (as the ballasts are already charged).

I just looked at the pics and alarm bells rang when it said 16v (is this impressive?) and Cupra...and noticed the DSG. Hmmmm

Hehe

FAIL!!

EDIT: All said and done (if HPI and car checks out) its not a terrible car for the money. Maybe a bit overpriced but it does have 300 worth exhaust, nice radio and armrest :)

You think all of the FR logos on the inside would have given it away

Spoilt it to some Shell Nitro+ Unleaded, wah! Curious to see if it makes any difference to the TSI performance/ refinement. Seemed maybe a little smoother on the drive home.
