They didn't turn up today hopefully they will all be in tomorrow if they turn up! A total 108 led's in the cabin

108! That's going to be extremely bright!

Yeah mate i know got most of them in just waiting for my spot led's to come then will be the 108, it is awesome

So as promised a few photos of my 108 led interior

2x 36 led banks and the standard spot bulbs.






These are the spot bulbs





The 2x 36 led banks and the 2x 6 led spot bulbs








A few night shots this is through the rear tinted window.


















The bulbs in my visors and rear cabin are 36mm 6 bank festoons. The interior is alot brighter than the I-PAD camera can pick up. If you have any questions just ask.

I may have to hang on to modding for a while as i may need to bank roll myself! when im off work getting treatment. As we don't get sick pay at work

That's not good mate, can't believe you do t get sick pay

Only get SSP! They are tighter than a nuns !?@& i wouldn't mind them not paying if i was off with a cold. But a genuine reason that you need Hospital intervention and they still don't pay it.

Well i gave my car a good going over at weekend and found my 1st stone chip What do you guys do? Full Spray job, Smart repair? or Touchup Paint?

Get the Halfords touch up kits, as their applicators are THE best I have used. Don't use the brush, but instead over a course of a few days touch the chip in with the needle end of the applicator and fill the whole chip with solid colour.

Best way to do it is over-fill the chip with colour then leave it a day or so to fully harden then I sand the chip back flush with a piece of 3000 Grit Meguiars sandpaper double side taped to a small piece of flat wood, this way you finish the repair up perfectly flush.

Then polish / cut back the fine sanding marks with Meguiars Scratch X, done a few on my Candy White 6R and you can hardly see them at all to be honest, about as good as you're going to get on the cheap really. I wouldn't let Chips Away loose on any cars I have had, rather a bodyshop do the whole panel if I am going to go down that road.

Once you have used the colour do you not need to use lacquer to seal the paint as the paint is water based? I have the little bottles that i bought from VW and have colour candy white and lacquer.

I was thinking of getting a Langka Kit

Once i have done it i may Wrap my bonnet with this

Got no chips in the bonnet yet just on the bumper

Yeah forgot to add I put some lacquer on to seal it then polish that back too. Although it isn't necessary on Candy White, as it's technically a solid colour and doesn't have a proper lacquer layer as such as far as I am aware. Not really sure why VW give you a lacquer touch up with Candy White as Halfords don't??

I only say that about lacquer with solid colours, as I had a Tornado Red Golf Mk5 GTi that had a bad problem with bird crap ruining the paint on the roof and bonnet, and as it turned out because it was a solid colour it had no lacquer which meant the paint was very vulnerable compared to say a metallic or pearlescent paint with lacquer on top.
