Hi Guys

2 weeks ago, I bought a A3
I'm only 18 and my previous car was a Seat Ibiza
Anyway I thought I would say hi and here is a picture

 

[I oOEddOo I]

Welcome buddy
Car looks good
What mod are you thinking ??

 

[RossKincaid]

Not many,
1, I can't afford them
and 2, insurance would go through the roof

However I'm starting with xenon bulbs, leds interior and debadging it

Do you mean proper xenons or replacement Halogens ?

If proper xenons you will need the auto-levelling system and headlamp washers as well to pass the MOT next year

Looking good mate. Did you ever get round to replacing the headlight bulbs?

 

[RossKincaid]

I only put in Led sidelights and whiter front headlights
with 100W rally bulbs as full beams

Which headlight bulbs did you go for? Link for sidelights also?

Whatever you do,tell the insurance company first.

There are so many people around to tell you what happens if you don't.
Any mods are worth running by them first.

And DON'T mention the 100watt main beams !!!!!!!

 

[S3Alex]

If you don't mention it,and they find out then watch the problems begin.

My own experience has been to be totally honest with whoever is insuring you and put it all in writing so that there is no room for weasling in the case of an accident.

The point I was trying to make Alex is that 100 watt bulbs are not legal for road use in the UK !!

 

[S3Alex]

I thought it might be but I know nothing about that side of things !

I was trying to make sure he tells the insurance people everything or he may end up being uninsured.

I think there are a lot of illegal lights being used and one person near us must have a set of those in his van as everything for miles around gets a dose of it.
