Hello.. Here is mine.. Finally i managed to get my head around it ..


Today i swapped the halogen ones for LED`s

managed to get them in even with fan..

Inside one side footwell is blue, other side red

havent got a pic of blue one, middle light is blue as well and rear light and reading lights in front are bright white..

Tomorrow finally after few weeks of waiting, car is gonna get wrapped in satin black, all chrome in gloss black, brake calipers gloss black, rear windows darker tint, front one tinted to legal limit and nice ceramic coating to finish it off. Its gonna be bloody long week

Once car is back, side indicators will be swapped for black one`s, new alloys on, probably black of some sort (not sure if i should go with chrome bits in or not), wind deflectors, tint rear lights, try to make eyebrows on front headlights from black vinyl from ebay and remap later in august. Bought the vauxhall moving LED door sills and after reading the reviews, i`m a bit scared i will not see them, neither my money. But lets hope..
Most likely spray paint front and back badges, found some griffin black one`s on ebay, i`ve got to measure it up, it could save me some time.. And i`m thinking about those rear lights that are not wired up to wire them up.. Maybe get rid of back wiper.. But thats last on list..

Plenty to do, now just try to fit it all around work...

I will upload more pics once i have car back and start doing things on it..

Wow what a list....Gonna be interesting seeing all the changes!

You'll need new boot lights.its not just a case of wiring up

[Buyak]

Yeah, I'm looking around to see how much they cost.. Not many on ebay.. Unless I'm not looking properly..

[Buyak]

Car is back... And its bang on with colour...
Brake calipers in gloss black

Satin black wrap and wind deflectors

Side indicators

LED headlights are very nice, little bit disappointed how far they go.. Definitely shorter visibility than halogen..


Next is decision about either new alloys or powder coat original one`s in gloss black.. Suggestions? Powder coating is about half price of new alloys and no storage problem..

Noticed today that car is leaking, prob diesel, car`s gotta go to doctors tomorrow .. Another bill.. Hopefully nothing serious

Looking good!

Have you considered sweeping side indicators? They do them in black.

This is one working on the gas man's (Ignore the vxr surround).

Buyak, I'd be getting rid of the metal dust caps............they have a habit of binding to the stems

[Buyak]

really? so better stick to plastic one`s?

I've seen them after I spent £15 on the one's I have.. Didn't want to spent another £20... Maybe later on.. Its on wishlist though..

I agree,had this problem myself and was lucky to remove them without damaging the threads,deffo changed to plastic ones with TPMS.
