Well after selling the mini and having no car for a few months, i decided it was time to find a cheap run about. Logged onto auto trader sunday night first few that came up and spotted this one went a viewed and bought it home

Had one before and i regretted selling it, wasn't sure if would be the same but i love it, got a few plans and already have a goodies delivered for it.

Only have the advert pictures but gives you a good idea, shall be getting a good clean tomorrow so will get some better pics then. Quite like the silver hopefully be easier to keep clean then my previous black one

I use SMDs for the number plates, someone on Corsa-C UK is selling sets of 4 for £10 so you can use 2 in the side lights, they also fit in the interior light

They were ones with 5 LEDs on off eBay.

Type 300626490661 in eBay. I'd link it but on iPhone. £1.99 free postage. 4 for £10 fuck that, can have 10 for £10 off eBay.

Got the next 2 days off so decided to give the car a wash and have a proper look around at the car. Body work is in really good condition only a few minor marks, and found a nice surprise in the boot

All new and have never been used, wasn't expecting to find them like that.

Gave the engine bay a good clean to as it was looking a tad shabby, i'll post some before & after pictures didn't go into it to much just used to APC and some good elbow grease

Small mod, but looks a lot better I think, more modern.

Only thing I'd say is there a tad to bright

then again there are 9 LED's my have a plan around with some other's see what i can get them like

Thing about the single ones is the angle the bulb sits in is too much, the 5 ones seem to make it shine out even. Pain in the arse eh!? Haha.

Id love red just cause of how rare they are tbh. Although the blue once polished up looks mint.

A quick pic with the HID's on, they look really blue yet there a lot more white in person, and there projector's not normal as they look on there. Infact this is a Toss photo

Yeah that's the problem, hoping the 5 one's will give an even shine as you say, and yeah a royal pain in the arse

Yeah i have a mega soft spot for the blue one's, don't like the fact the red ones fade so much

I work in a body shop so have access to a buffer and as much polish as i like, it wouldnt fade for me

Also get a mega discount for Vaux parts so i get a mega discount, so would be good for me to get another, just doing insurance quotes now
