Got glare much? Those HIDs are bad. Lose them or get proper projector lenses. Otherwise nice looking motor.

The photos make it look a lot worse than it is, unfortunately it's over £1,500 to get real OEM Xenon's. I will probably go back to bulbs soon to be honest.

Like it. I agree about the HIDs though. Have you tried H7r bulbs?

nice car, i see you used chappell coachworks aswell, i had them repair the front end of my astra after somebody decided to reverse into it. The quality of the paintwork is impressive, the only slight bugbear is the bumper not quite sitting as flush as it should do, but as its the commuter, now nearing 90k on the clock i don't mind as much

Where did you get the strut brace from? Can you get them from Seat?

Well I picked the wheels up last night, it was a lot further than I thought and I didn't get back until 2am. It was over a 300 mile round trip in the end and I woke up to see the car looking like this:
Why? Are they really special or something? confused

Not exactly really special, they're off an Octavia vRS but there's a high demand for them. As soon as they're posted up on Briskoda they're snapped up instantly and it's very rare to find a good set that aren't curbed to buggery for a decent price. smile Put it like this, they're rare enough for me to do a 300 mile round-trip to collect them. smile

Looks fantastic. You must have deep pockets.

FYI those (excellent) clamps you're using for your boost piping are used on motorcycle exhausts sometimes so if you're in a pinch and need an extra, head to your local greasy bike shop smile
