Views taken on board, thanks guys. Still going to change them though, but as I said earlier I'm keeping hold of the old ones.

It's no secret that I think the styling of the first D3 was the best. If I could have a D3 with the D4 engine, suspension and 8sp box (but with a stick) along with some of the other updates and reversing camera I'd be happy.
What's important is that you are happy with any modifications that you do and how your vehicle looks 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE

Russell thats pretty much the same treatment I give mine when I can get away with it. We should start a new OCD club. My next question is how did you train your son to be so helpful.(top job Russell s son )
Its the bulbs that give the blue effect but not when they light up, meant to give off light equal to daylight. They were from hids4u I will check to see if I still have receipt
