What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

Replaced the stock candles with Philips Blue Vision bulbs, hopefully I will actually see the road now, although first impression in the garage they don't seem a lot different.

Yeah my grey bumpers have been colour coded, the only way to have them on a GTI!

Headlights look good! Halos normally look heap but those dont. Nice work!

How do you find the light output on the new lights compared to the old?

Actually, I put the Philips 80% globes from my old headlights in low beam, very defined cut off, looks very good, could be a bit higher cutoff but from memory they aren't any worse than stock. The highbeams probly aren't as good as stock, though the light is in a better area it is not as strong as I couldn't use the Philips 80% globes from my old lights as they are H4 and these use H7 all around. So once I get some 80% for high beam they should be good, the lights came preinstalled with osram globes

Oh and yeah going to order the black plastic bit from ECS in my next order of gear:D

Just take your car to a spray painter, they'll match the colour of your car, paint the bumpers, put them back on. Job done! :)

Can paint them, Tony with the super charged 4mo has his painted from memory. if you just paint them they look different to the body, but i think if you get them 'filled and smoothed' they can be brought up to the same as the rest of the paint

Just had a new set of Pirelli P-Zero Corsas fitted to the R, and what a difference a good set of tyres make. Can't believe the traction available now.

yeah that's what i was thinking, the grey bumpers are textured so you would think it would look odd.
tazzy, how much it cost you? and you get it smoothed or just painted straight on?

meanwhile my car is in for some diagnostics, so i've been driving a little golf6 the base model basically as its a shared car in the family.
interesting to drive it, completely different to the mkiv. feels tiny or something. chasis and interior feels nice and firm, though obviously being a base model doesn't corner great

Mine were already painted when I bought the car and they are still textured, I wouldn't say it looks wierd, they are matched really well IMO. Here's a pic :) Ignore the arrow!

ah ok, but you've got an exhuast cut out on the back, don't think that's a standard valance for a local gti?
Maybe from a bora?
