You could put some clear coat over the tail lights. I'll be doing it to mine this w/e.

[benough]

Hey Mischa.

Just quietly, and I can't be sure, I think there is a vibe going on here that the forum members may think your tailights don't look right.

Now don't quote me on that but I thought you would wanna know

Haha! Jurgen was packing it last night, he thinks we can drive at "the next level" Still I am jealous of his 4MOTION

[Jarred]

I reckon the taillights look wikid.

[Mischa]

thanks for the opinions guys

i've secured some front and rear swaybars for it so that'll be fun installing them myself sometime in the next few weeks.

then its onto the headlining... i might hand that one over to the gf... we'll see...

10/4 on the smoked mirror indicators Mischa... they look awesome on reflex silver

thinking of going the GTI rear as well but i dont want my car to look exactly like yours LOL...

[Mischa]

done a few more little things you guys might like to consider.

Red ambient footwell lighting configured to come on when the dash lights come on (with the headlights or parkers):


SMD parking lights (similar to LED). they're supposed to be white but they look slightly blue... but they're bloody bright for parkers!




LED number plate lights:


LED interior lights, they're not quite as bright as they appear in this picture but it gives a good idea of their white light instead of the yucky yellow:


I got all these lights from ebay. much cheaper than buying them locally unfortunately. for the interior dome lights you need 5x t10, parkers 2x t10, number plate 2x 39mm festoon, vanity lights 2x 39mm festoon, boot light 1x 43mm festoon. for the t10 sized ones i used smd's with 5 chips each.

heres the led light strips i used for the footwells:

oh and for the parkers and number plate lights you need to use a load equalizing resistor put in parallel, otherwise the car will think there globe is blown and cut the power to that circuit (since LED's dont create heat and therefore have no resistance). or you can be super lazy like me and just use the regular globes as the resistors and splice them into the wires

sorry for such a lazy write up but all the notable info is here

Nice.. When are you fitting the disco ball?

[Yevvy]

NOICE! you've sorted those parkers

[Cam]

The interior light and parkers look great

[Mischa]

sooo i may have done something silly and sold my H&R street coilovers and bought ultralows... getting a bit sick of changing suspension in my driveway...

[jayjay]

[GoLfMan]

[Mischa]

[benough]
