After driving the car a little more you really do notice the parts that have been installed up to now.. Engine mounts fantastic as usual but a big improvement in the steering feel from the anti-lift kit..

Hmm yeah so many people rave about it! I think I need to get me one of those!!!!  :driver:

Ah, I didnt realise you had OEM Xenon units and were swapping the bulbs - I thought you were talking about a HID upgrade kit before.  I looked into this a while ago actually.  Be intersted to know where you got them and how much...  :happy2:

sweet mods  :happy2:

How do you find the VF mounts?,
 Im very tempted but always put off because I think the car is harsh enough as it is, let alone with new mounts.
Does it stop engine movement completely?

jonnyc:
Yeah it was just the bulbs that I up rated.. Wouldn't buy a car without OEM xenons..

Got the bulbs off a guy from Edition38 forums, they were brand new 8000k D2 bulbs from HIDS4U.CO.UK.. They are a load cheaper than the PIAA D2S bulbs that I was going to order, but I thought I would give these a go, only loosing a few quid if there sh*t, plus I would know how to change them once I get the PIAA bulbs..

I have been very impressed with them up to now and Ill be keeping them unless they decide to stop working  :happy2:

Heres the link..

VF mounts are fantastic IMO, not for everyone for sure because of the increased vibrations and noise..

There is still engine movement, its a poly bush rather than the OEM mounts which use soft rubber..

So then then next question... are they as hard as I've heard to fit them?

Wondering if 6000k would be enough, I heard ther higher the k the worse they can be in rain/fog
