Holy crap, those are amazing! They're even better than my headlights! That reminds me I still need to recalibrate my leveling sensor... My headlights keep pointing themselves downwards haha

Re: New GLI

The point of this spring will be to clean up the engine bay, so i'm gathering parts and getting them ready for April-ish for a good, well needed engine bay clean.

Nice ride! I went through the exact same grits when I polished my Monicas! You need to polish the headlights!

Thanks, your wheels came out really nice.

Don't think that my glass lenses should be polished TBH...probably just the angle of the photo that you saw as this is what they look like (and still look this crystal clear to this day)

Re: New GLI

Yeah I think they look much more clear when the angle's right, angle of refraction lol.

Re: New GLI

So April arrived, got around to installing my engine bay components, took friday, saturday, half of sunday; partially because i lost motivation on saturday at suppertime and my back ached.

A week ago i installed a new DVD/Navi system, a JVC KW-NT500HDT. Installed easily, nice compact unit with satellite maps (no SD cards, no having to update maps), full boot up in 7-8 seconds for full functionality which is almost unheard of for a Navi system of this quality. Great screen resolution, excellent sound quality with the rest of the stock monsoon system, hooks up to my porsche cayenne rear view camera which i have had for a year now but haven't installed. All in all, extremely impressed with this unit for under $800.

Parts to install (numbered if anybody has specific questions as to what it is):
Missing parts are the velocity stack/air filter


Before (yes very dirty, bay has NEVER been cleaned since i owned it, yet have had zero problems with it):


After:

Re: New GLI

Sean, I'm sure I've asked you this before but can't remember. Where did you get your retrofit? retrofitsource.com or something like that? And what projectors did you use?

Those Porsche and Audi caps are so baller. Don't you just love metal polish
