£100 delivered. Fair price IMO.
bad devotions:
Managed to sneak out in between meetings and put the lights on. They look so much better than the straight up red ones.
This was during... i had done the right and needed to the left/nearside
And this is after with both sides done :D
Probably also worth mentioning that i picked up some of those A4 exhaust tips. Not totally amazing IMO but they'll do until i get a proper exhaust :D :driver:
Rippers:
I like the lights.
Look out for some H&R springs, they work well with OEM shocks and make the car handle really well. Not crash or harsh on the ride comfort and you'll get ride of that wheel arch gap :happy2:
AJP:
Got to get myself a set of the darker rear lights. They make such a difference to the car. Looks great on black. 100 quid is a good price too!
I can vouch for the H&Rs. Really nice drop, doesn't look too rakey, and like Rippers says, they work well with standard dampers. Although I would consider a set of uprated dampers at the same time for a complete solution.
I've had mine fitted for a year or so, maybe 7000 miles, and they do seem to accelerate wear on the dampers, which stands to reason, although It's still a decent ride. I'd say brand new oem dampers + H&R springs probably ride just as well as brand new uprated dampers + H&R springs, just that the oem dampers are having to work a bit harder, so they won't feel great for as long as the uprated set.
There's a newish set of dampers from VWR that sound excellent, as well as the usual Bilstein B8. The VWR dampers cost less if I remember right.
Anyway, rambling a bit... The lights look spot on mate. Very effective little mod
