Haha, Right...

It is a pain if you gotta "hide" all the mods, but hey.. Your relationship is important too

My wife couldnt care less. She buys make-up shit each month which is sometimes more of what I spend on the 5....

yeah, I know what you're talkin' about..
It seems life-essentially to buy make-up,shoes,cloths and so on for women

in the other hand, it's also important for us to buy mods..this is essentially!!
Let's see what Santa will bring this year Maybe I convince her to buy me the exhaust..


I will let you know anyway

Did you retrofit the Xenon's? Was it much work to do it? (not meaning the changing of the units.. as an ex-mechanic I can do that easy, but in coding/extra stuff).
And did you strike a deal again or paid the full price?
I was quoted 2300 recently without labour (Not that I care for the "labour".. I have 2 right hands myself)

Yeah, I had them retrofited at the stealer. They gave me a quote of 1100 eur incl part and labour. This seemed so cheap to me that I had it put in writing and gave them the go to install it.

The coding took a whole day. They installed everything to OEM spec...so the changed wiring and so on.

After a couple of days they called me and told me they made a mistake and the price was going to be around 3K.

So i showed them the original qoute and got them for the cheap price
