SPEED WITH DESIGN

For those readers who aren’t content unless a swath of adorning fans are mesmerised by the ultimate in pretty and shiny modifications to their Mk1 Golfs, may we introduce Speed With Design, who stock right-hand drive ‘Angel Eye’ Headlamps.

These lamps are E-marked for UK use and look simply stunning. The angle ring is an integral part of the unit and as such can be wired separately. Crystal clear examples are pictured, but smoked ones are also in stock.

What’s more, although Speed With Design specialise in mods for air-cooled T1, T2 and T25 vans – and as such have a simple modification for fitting these lamps to VW buses – they also reckon that these lamps can be modified to fit a number of other VAG applications too. Call them on 01952 770080 to find out more.

ESSEX RACING

It’s no secret that the lighting on early Golfs isn’t particularly brilliant, however according to Essex Racing, its range of retro-fit High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlight kits will greatly improve your VAG’s lighting.

These ‘second generation’ kits differ from previous versions in that they include both high and low beams (H4 fitting) in each lamp, but cleverly only require one controller per lamp.

Kits contain a pair of 35W HID Xenon bulbs, two electric controllers, plus all the electronic components, wiring and mounting brackets required for installation. All kits are road legal and conform to UK and EU regulations.

Did all that make sense? Call Essex Racing on the number below for further details.
