Nice Car mate :)

Thats what the MOT man said when he gave me the keys back with my 13 month MOT

Boy was I smiling on the way home, now shall I buy those OEM mk1 xenons I've been offered ? (£220)

I am led to believe from a very reliable source that if you have projectors with good bulbs there is not much difference between those and xenons.
But I have the standard 1999 lenses with HID conversion units. lighting is good but they do not look the part so much.

What do others think?

Glad to see it passed O.K. Dave, go on treat yourself to the Xenons you know you want to

Good price, have they got two sets?

I think I could find something more worthwhile to spend £220 on . . .
