All The Car Parts The Golf Will Receive

This was probably the best christmas gifts I have ever received, and can't wait to put them in my car. I picked them up a bit later than christmas since I ordered them to be delivered in the PO box we have in the US, from where I arrived yesterday. The Cabrio brochure gave me so much nostalgia from my last car, which will always be in my heart.

The most significant part here are the LED headlamps I bought from Winpower. I convinced my father that I would retro-fit them to my car rather than other shop since the MK7 Golf has never been touched by any local mechanic. The forums and videos filled me and my father with enough confidence, and I got a new set of tools as well! Tomorrow is going to be a day I longed for since I received my car in August as I adore LED lighting. I'm open to any advice, wish me luck!

Also, Europlates are awesome :) You had one on Oliver right?

I love when I see people running around in my front-plate mandated state with Euro front plates. I might do it too eventually. Also, did Chris M. ever contact you about writing for Autoking?

I adore them. Even when they might be too over the top. Recommendation for plate: A8V8FR8

Chris M. didn't contact me. I have no idea about me writing for Autoking.

Okay well he might. If not, forget you heard anything.

I just saw the post he made looking for writers.

I applied, and got it, and then it turned out that the entirety of Autoking has a much smaller readership than my personal "blog". Also, it specializes in the new-car-coming-out type stuff, which I know little about. I don't know how much longer I'll be doing it.

Nice. I got a euro plate as well. $7 at the dealer so I couldn't resist.

If you don't mind me asking, what did the headlights cost and where did you buy them? It's an upgrade I may be interested in doing in the future.

I also have to put the 2 badges that you have on the far left, but they are stickers in my case.

They cost $740, which was a bit painful but worth it IMO. I bought them off Ebay from Winpower headlights. They arrived in 6 days from China, and shipping was free. The quality is pretty good, and I have read through several forums about the installation and the results other people have got. I know it's a gamble, but I was willing to take it to get the look.

These are links to where I got the info:

The model of headlights I got was the V2 meaning they are from a "normal" Golf model with LED's.

There are the GTI Replicas and the Golf R replicas, but I wanted to keep the car looking as OEM as I could. Tomorrow I install them and will make a post about it if you are interested.
