Hella Dual Rounds - to paint or not to paint....

[sukebe]

Oh Christ, now i'm really tempted!!

Go on!!! You know you want to!! I have another person seriously interested already so you are currently sitting No.2 on the list

[MattyT]

I hope they buy em, else I probably will :X

[DubSteve]

I would have bought them within a heartbeat if I wasn't paying for my coilovers

[Golfer]

Golfer, I had looked at yours and thought of doing just that! On a different note, I notice an air feed pipe next to your indicator. Do you have an engine bay photo to show where is goes exactly? Did you remove the carbon canister and go through there?

Here are the only pics I have of the induction pipe. I didn't end up having to remove the carbon canister, I simply ran the pipe down beside the serpentine belt (needed to cable tie it to keep it away from the belt) and poked it through into fresh, cold air! Alex (KI11Z) has run the same pipe in his VR6, so I know u can do it in the VR as well...

BTW, these headlights are SOOOO much better than the factory ones, and they feel and look to be made very well. I recommend them to anyone!

Yeah, mine had Xenon HID system in them, so they were MILES ahaead of the stock lights!!! The light pattern is fantastic in the Hellas with any type of bulb, and are probably the best upgrade you can make to the Mk3's lighting system IMO...

Cheers!!!

Where do you get that piping from??

[bboyskidz]

bunnings could probably help you out... do you have bunnings over there? lol. jokes mate.

pretty much any kind of hardware store should be able to help, most good ones measure price by length too.

[DubSteve]

Supercheap also have them.

[MattyT]

I have searched both bunnings and supercheap yet I find none

WA stores are the suck.

[rayray086]

Any kind of flexible plastic piping should do!

Should get back on topic though - it's sukebe's Dual Round thread!

[MattyT]

This thread has got me seriously thinking of getting a pair now. Dammit, wasn't planning to do it for AGES!

[bsting]

I voted to paint them, but then you might want to smooth the bumpertops off
and paint them too as well as the arch covers/rub strips etc

I tried the dogbone look once



And ive noticed the oz VR6s do not have fogs, whats up with that?

[sukebe]

Ive decided to leave them black for now but will get some clear protector film for them. May paint them in the future, but there seems to be a majority who thinks they should stay black so I have no reason to feel like it looks silly.

bsting, we probably didnt get fog lights in Oz coz we dont really get fog

[peedman]

I guess my vote of paint doesnt count then!

Yeh we didnt get foglights however u could buy a whole kit from the dealer including switch, foglights and wiring but i think it was priced at $500 maybe higher
