    Nice little Golf 5 ICE upgrade today...
    She went from 2 ways boring front speakers to 3 ways high quality Gladen ones.
    Upgraded the head unit in the process.
    Nice headunit the owner bought, BT, Handsfree, DVD player, iPhone screen clone on the headunit etc.

    So just off the phone about my A6 there and feeling much better :)

    All the niggly bits have been taken care of and she's been sent to Audi to get the chain rattle sorted with agreement that whatever she needs to fix it properly she gets

    Again fair play to the dealer. While it's nothing I wouldn't expect anyway it's unfortunately not a given these days either. That peace of mine is priceless IMO or certainly worth more than the few hundred (potentially) saved by buying such a car privately with no comeback if anything goes wrong.

    Purchased a few bits off eBay including some 55W 12V 6500K HID H1, H7, H11 bulbs with white 501's as well as a bunch of Canbus LED's for boot, reg plate, interior and whatever else I can find :) Also got some nice thick fitted C5 mats off my usual supplier in the UK to finish things off. As soon as I figure out what bulbs I have in my sun visors and interior, I'll change them too.

    D2s are xenon and should be more than adequate,why you looking to upgrade ?

    Advertsfox,

    Did you get white 501's LED or regular? Looking for a reliable white 501, can't seem to get a white enough regular bulb and the LED ones seem to blow individual LEDs by purely looking at them!

    Cheers,

    Hey I got the blue tint 501s that shine a brilliant white to match the others, search "501 Xenon Blue" on eBay to see a tonne of results. I've used the LED ones before but I find they are not bulb like for me with their glow.

    I enjoy super bright lights, plus the car auto levels so you never blind anyone.

    I thought you glued the radiator!:P

    At least your allowed clean inside.
    I'm lucky enough if they're not giving out for washing a "dirty" car.

    I did with the super epoxy.... It blew it apart! :( Araldite is holding up so I'm smashing a computer and glueing bits of it into where it's broke :)

    Sure were all used to grease and general dirt here :pac:
