I still need to get some LED sidelights but have been put off them recently due to a few members complaining that they don’t last very long. Can anyone recommend some that will last?

I got PIAA ones for mine. They're twin LED's and come in three styles, both white, both blue, or one of each. Cost me £20, but I'd rather pay £20 once than £5 five times lol. No probs at all so far, had them well over a year :D

I got some LED sidelights from halfrauds and they work fine, they are the white ones, they also do "tacky police blue" ;) but the white ones look really good i think.
They were only £5 i think so not too bad and they havnt flickered once in the 4months i must have had them in :D

I've done that but I'm considering changing back to normal bulbs because I haven't got HID's. They look a bit too blue in contrast.

Got them from my local Motaman. They're the H262 ones with one white and one blue LED on each side. They also do both white (H263) or both blue (H261) but I went for the middle as they go better with my xenons imo.

They can all be bought here at a cheaper price than I paid dammit :ban:

Edit: my sig doesn't show them.. all the lighting on it is a photoshop effort as I couldnt be arsed to go take a picture with my lights on lol

Coilovers Fitted

Finally got myself a set of FK Konigsport coilovers. I've been wanting a set of coilovers for a while as I'd got sick n tired of the standard suspension. The constant crashing over bumps and boat like handling nearly made me think about getting rid of the car! The final straw was when my mum was watching a BMW advert for there X3 and thought it was my car! The only similarity was the colour....

Anyway here are a few before and after pics

Here's a pic of one of the front struts

I've Hammerite-d the struts to prevent them corroding and applied plenty of copper grease to the threads.

Fitting the rears actually took longer than the fronts.... One bolt was seized so I had to wait a few hours for a windy gun to blip it off! I actually found the o/s front shock easier to fit than the n/s for some reason. I've also fitted new top mounts and bearings to be on the safe side.

The car now looks and handles sooo much better and the wheels even look bigger, as they're not lost in the arches.

Just a few pics that I took at the weekend after cleaning the car. I’ve also de-badged the rear and it looks much cleaner now. I left the TDI badge on to let people know what’s just flown past!

Cheers mate. I'm much more happy with the car now. Just need to sort out the dampening as the ride is a bit bouncy at the moment
