DaveEscCos for the one mota, n can have a new username, RaghavE36Bimmer

I say go for it if it dont cost a lot, looks decent

But then do you wanna drive round with your fogs on all the time? As surely thats the only time itl be noticed.

Fixed penalty of Ł30 for driving round with your fogs on if there isn't poor visibility.

Wouldn't waste my cash

Worst possible idea in the world, having HIDs in your fogs - they cause a shedload of glare for the driver (like trying to use full beams in the fog).

Not a TechOne kit by any chance, is it...?
