Bit Annoyed that the headlights stay ever so slightly on when the sidelights are on though

I then set out to put the other T4W led's in the number plate BUTTTT the autobulbsdirect guide (AutoBulbs Guide) lied to me and i soon found out they where 501's Must've looked like a complete TW@ trying to push and twist 501 bulbs to get them out

Only tiny little things done but as they say the little things all add up

Desperately waiting for the FK springs to arrive now so i can get them done at the weekend so it won't be sitting as high as a kite ;)

was looking at some of those 100w bulbs for my 6n. quaestion i got is wont there be to many amps going down cable to power them. and burn wiring out??

cos normal bulbs are like 50w or summart and these are 100 so drawing more power. dont wanna burn me wiring thats all

Got a little busy this weekend... Well i knew that the arb bushes where knocking when i bought the car so i've decided not to do things by half measures and ordered a full set of Poly bushes off Phil J on here.

I got busy taking all the bushes out saturday with a little patience and some FIREEE 8-) ....

So i squeezed the bushes into place....

With those fitted moved onto the HIDs :D ... Made them nice and tidy under the bonnet hidden under the screenwash bottle and the other side sits tidily where the intake is

With the smoked lenses they're still nice and bright unlike the 100w bulbs which looked good with the stock lenses but once smoked where like a candle in the wind 8-)

Sorry mate, i dont really look on this much.... the tip was 2.5" outwardly rolled. Shame i didnt see this coz i left it on my zorst when i scrapped it. It was loose but i welded it on with a couple of tacks. Since then i've put a Powerflow SS Cat Back on :D

Welll when i bought it the N/S wing had a pretttty bad paintjob on it which didn't really match the rest of the car and looked VERYYYY flat :(

I'm surprised no-one picked up in the pictures actually :) lol Now i've mentioned it you all will :p

Welll i thought i'd make use of trade discount so i got hold of a new wing (pattern i'm afraid) from Hadrians Panels yesterday :)

All painted up in L90E (Alpine White) this morning and stuck in the oven at work to bake :D

The finished article:

(should have took pics of it on the tressel really)
