And the Big Man said "let there be LED light" and behold...

...there was light...

...and he was well pleased.

Wheels look really nice. Throw up a pic once you have fitted them. Do you have some low dust pads to go with them.....those spokes will be fun to clean otherwise.

Having now gone for a weekend cruise I can vouch for the 42DD sound - there's a touch more rumble on start and a little more once the foot goes down, but otherwise does not sound much different from stock (which is what I wanted.. otherwise a catback would have been in order).

Haha, no low dust pads for now.. would like to do something with these at some point to improve braking a little. Gave the wheels a clean up after the cruise and yes definitely fiddly, but I guess if I wash regularly it won't be too bad. The benefit of the graphite finish is it hides some of the dust too.

I will say that I have some front rub though - will need to try the fender screw mod to start with and go from there. The rub was only on very hard left cornering where the road dipped/cambered to the inside of the corner.

A very bad picture attached, mainly taken for Greg Roles' benefit so I could show the 42DD tips going on the back.. I will have some better pictures done shortly for the pic thread to show off the 'finished' product a bit better. Although once you start modding I'm not sure there is a finish..

After much umm'ing and ahhh'ing I picked up these tail pipes off eBay. I'm still a bit undecided on if they are nice or rice

The stock ones are just boring/dirty, nothing like the GTI or R ones. I've got GTI pedals, GTI-esque steering wheel and GTI power (APR) so I figured they were worth a shot.

Why not, everyone needs a little rice

I think they do look nice. I'm still waiting for my own exhaust tips from an eBay seller in China, it's been two weeks already.

Talking of tips. I hate my chrome ones. Already stained and hard to clean. Thinking of stainless steel and keen to hear where to get a good quality set....

My chrome tips are hard to get completely clean too. I think the two years of neglect before I got it had a part now no matter how hard I rub there's still 20% or so that won't return to a chrome finish.
Will stainless steel look as bright?

Not as shiny bling. But not layered by chrome that tarnishes, so think it will stand the test of time better.
