So some bits and pieces came in at the end of last month... and I finally got a chance to install them last week before a hillclimb event at Haunted Hills!


First off, a little something to rep the forums! (Thanks Stu)
Got a bit too bokeh/shallow DOF happy...

By this time I stopped taking photos as I was feeling extremely angry... the reason? Some of you may have seen my thread calling out for help, but just to refresh... After I tested the LEDs, I forgot to turn the lights off and had my iPod playing through the speakers. For some reason the car didn't turn itself off as it usually does and the battery drained itself to the point where I couldn't use the remote to lock/unlock, open the boot, close my sunroof (which was tilted up... and it started to rain), or even get the car to crank. So after missing the VWGolf/1Addicts/EST dinner meet at Garage Cafe, Evans dropped by in the morning and revived my car just in time to get ready for the event.
