I have thought that tbh. I considered when i sold my mhw's just tinting the indicator/reverse lights. But smoked germans would look better as the red bits crystaly. Dont know where to buy them though. I searched german ebay but cant find them.

Wow looks loads better now!
German rears would work well, you should have bought mine and then laminex'd the clear bit.

Want it, what's with the wonky sticker in the window? Tut

Wonky? Lol its level with the road just not the window rubber. Haha The sticker follows the lines on the back window for the heated element. I have found a place i can get the smoked and normal german lights for a good price. Venom motorsport

And another pic while the door card was off of the Alpine speakers i fitted a while ago but didnt take a pic of.


Loads clearer than the OEM speakers. Could be better, but got them dirt cheap.

Just the one pic after a full days cleaning. Washed,dried then shampoo'd the whole interior with my mums bissell cleaning hoover thing. Lol Then clay bar'd the front of the car and then glazed the whole thing and waxed it all again. Then back to blacked everything. Bloody knackered but it looks good




See you all in the morning nice and early.

A couple of us were talking about your car at PVS and were surprised that the wheels are only 15", they look like 16s.

Actually someone did say it to my my face, think it was Alex.w. Deffo only 15's though, but i would agree they look a bit bigger. Maybe because the spokes go right to the edge of the wheel.

Haha I would have loved some paracetamol last weekend haha! And I agree with what nibnob said above about your wheels being 15's! Defiantly look like 16's from every angle!

Not an exciting update tbh. But it is still work thats been carried out. I left my car at my mates garage, to do my rear brake shoes and stop the front section of exhaust blowing. Turns out one of the rear cylinders was leaking so that had to be replaced.cost me more than expected but explains why the pedal felt abit spongy. All good now but i need to get the rear shoes worn in before i book it in for an mot.
