Oh yes! Did you also see the mrc video? You are in that a couple of times. Camera likes you! Haha

By the way, looks like about 30% of meth will make the mixture slightly more rich, so either use less or make a dual map.

That is some difference in shine. That Christmas sorted then?

Yes, just need an ABY cam pulley and hall sensor then I can start fitting the new ignition system.

Got the headlights back from re-chroming and there is good news and bad news! Good news is that they've done a brilliant job on the chroming, bad news is that they broke one of the mounting lugs. It's been glued back on and as it's not load bearing, should be OK.
Here's the before shots




And the after




You can see the broken lug in the top left of the second after picture

Cost was £160 Not cheap I know, but as you can't buy the reflectors from Audi I didn't have a lot of choice. I'm hoping the extra light output will make it worth while. I'm even thinking of buying some 75w HID's to compliment them:mischeif:

I've also sent off my spare set of ellipsoids to this place for re-chroming:-

In both sets I have, one reflector is better than the other giving a noticable better and brighter light, so I've decided to bite the ( expensive! ) bullit and get them re-chromed. Should be back next week, I'll post up some pics of the results.

Great find, how much was this? it's was done by a member a long time ago as an alternative to me buying a new set of lights

Poor boy just had his type 85 lights re-chromed, brilliant results and not bad price but not sure where he had them done.
