hello from Wolverhampton - Rughead - 2:nd-Feb-2015

Hi, my first post. As an owner of a "regular red" GTC cdti 2.0 with 19" upgrade alloys and standard everything else I wondered what could be done to improve/ look after my new metal baby.

welcome lots of ideas on here for you

Welcome. There's alot you could do depends what it is you want to do.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'd love to do a HID conversation, but I'm worried about wearing the bulbs out when flashing when headlights off as the bulbs need a warm up. Of course I should retro fit the AFL's to be legal.

There are hid kids out there for this that do also do high beam.

Would they have to have quick ballasts so when no lights on and I flash to let somebody past it fires up in time and does not burn out the bulbs?

I'm not too sure mate I will find a set tomorrow and post a link I've never used HID kits myself.
