Hi guys,
I just bought a 63 plate Scirocco 1.4 TSI 160BHP with a few optional extras but I wanted to know where and how I can change the dull yellow headlights and if it is possible to get a carbon fibre or high gloss black 'sticker' to cover up some of the silver interior around the display and the door handles.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome omzy
You sure can get carbon wrap,eBay has loads. As far as the headlights go you can also chanhecthose too, I have but against the sidelights they still look yellow so I might get some more.
A few people are using some sub £10 bulbs that seem to give a much whiter light

Re: Newbie
thanks a lot guys. I got some LED's from Halfords earlier to change the light in my footwell and make it brighter. Net stop are the headlight bulbs.
Lewihoga are the xtec the ones that you have?

Xtec I got mate, they're really good. Can't review durability as only had them a month or so but had no problems. They're great priced too!

Re: Newbie
See this topic on piano black interior mods. here
It's in the mods section and something tells me you can't read it until you have a more substantial post count so if you can't see it now come back to it in a week or so after you have posted some random shit to get your post count above the magic number.

Re: Newbie
Yup 
they have blue coating which counteracts the yellowing creating a nice White light (not blue)

Re: Newbie
Hey Lewi,
I have just checked the ebay link of the bulbs and it says that they won't fit my car?
I have a 63 plate TSI 1.4l 160bhp with DSG.....
