My 2 cents - Not a big fan of the white bonnet/roof. His car looks like it's awaiting prep at a dealer and they're yet to remove the plastic film that's on the cars when they get transported!

They pretty much do every colour possible. And if they do not have it try will try to order it in for you.

Class place I would recomend it to anyone. Mint powder coating work. The guy even rang me up when I got home to make sure I had the right adaptors for my wheels and bolts etc. good place. Best place I heard of round the north east

Hey mate, could you upload a picture of your HID's light spread on the road at night and shining against a wall? Both dipped and full. I wanna put HID bulbs in mine but i wanna make sure its not going to look like an obvious retrofit and has a reasonable cut off line. (Police round here will pull you over if they think you are using Xenons without proper projectors installed. :/

Cheers Bud

I'll get a pic up ASAP mate

But with the polos te headlight units are designed too hold HID bulbs

And can be dimed with the switch on the right of the steering wheel

The beam spread is pretty much the same as standard. But brighter. So tbh a wouldn't worry about bizzys stopping you mate. If they do they just being w.a.n.k.e.r.s tbh

Ok bud that would be handy. When you say they're designed to take HIDs, what do you mean? as in do they have a slot for the ballasts or something unique like that?

cheers
