Much delayed - photos of lights upgrade:
The interior lights don't photograph very well, but they look the business in the flesh. The boot lights in particular are ten times better than OEM. So straight on to headlights:
Here's how they were before:

and then with the DRL and fog lights upgraded to LED:

THEY of course in turn made the headlights look yellow, and tbh rubbish. They were never very powerful and a bit underwhelming having driven cars with xenons. So - back to Trups again...
Before:

and after:

Already look cooler to my mind. They made a HUGE difference to the amount of light output too. I know these pictures aren't quite like for like, but hopefully you'll get the idea:
halogen:

new xenons:

and finally, here's with the fogs on too. Not that you can actually see much of the bit of road that they light up from the drivers seat, but they look great!

... when Trups had the headlights out, I snapped this one. Think it looks brutal with black headlights. If only they were a thing.

You’re a man of excellent taste clearly! I don’t think I’ll tint them. If they could go actually black, I might be tempted to de-chrome but otherwise I think the blue & chrome compliment each other really well, so light tinting not really gonna match I reckon.I think you would get away with a light tint, My dads TT has had black tinted headlights from the previous owner and hes been driving the thing for 5 years now, never got any aggro.
Anyway i have the same headlights and colour car as you <a href="http://www.a5oc.com/forums/images/A5OC_2015/smilies/tango_face_wink.png" border="0" alt="" title="Wink" ></a>
But I'm trying to justify paying 2k for some S-line headlights.....
whats your thoughts on them?
I reckon 2 grands a bit steep. I’m DEAD pleased with the xenon upgrade, I reckon they’re brighter than my neighbour’s brand new 2018 model. I’d quite like the halo led ring thing, but tbh I’d MUCH rather have a remap and a few other upgrades for the price.
So I’ve had a Bobby Singh remap for a little while and have finally got it on a dyno, out of curiosity.
I've drove down to Surrey Rolling Road, as from the research I've done they seem to be the top choice pretty much anywhere for being both accurate and impartial.
And here's the graph:

This was the first run, the car got too hot on the second one to produce high numbers, so we didn't bother trying for a third go.
As you can see, there's a bit of a lump about 3500rpm, which Bobby reckons might be an EGT correction, so perhaps it actually does a bit more without that... I don't know.
To be honest, I don't hugely care if it does, the drive is incredible and the torque (bang on 750Nm) is plenty good enough for a daily.
Very pleased.

HI folks, it's been a while, but time for another round of mods.
Starting with an upgrade to the s-line headlights, and a cheeky little DRL modification from EM Tuning.
Here's how the new front end looks

Next on the list is some 19" rotors going on next week, then heading back down to Bobby... for a hybrid
