Operation: BlackSmoke

Most people will know me as caddyLuke with my old grey ratty style caddy:

Because my cars are always used as my dailys the caddy had to be sold for something a bit more comfortable and semi practical.....
... so here's my new project.

A vw bora tdi pd150.
Plans are to slam it on some nice wheels, smaller and wider the better, and a good re map to get it chuckin out some black smoke.
Got a couple of bits for it at the weekend

HDI kit from tdi tunning which was fairly simple to install and well worth it.

I couldnt believe how much brighter they are compared to normal bulbs.
After seeing matty's A3 i picked up a leon front splitter which looks like its going to sit on the bora a treat.

Next step will be the suspension.

bora looks good luke, can i ask, why did you go for the HID kit over some bright intensity bulbs e.g. osram nightbreakers?

are they really that much better?sorry n00b question mate!

cheers^.
Main reason was because the lights last for years compared to normal bulbs which blow. And considering the price of high performance bulbs I thought i'l give HID's ago.
But it has to be said now ive got them i wouldnt go back to normal bulbs, they really are that much brighter.
Well worth the upgrade.
