I bet as soon as you got your rims blacked, you noticed your brake discs looking corroded! Thats exactly where mine are at!

Did you also get new coils?

What you putting on next? I'd recommend a sick exhaust!

No standard suspension, seems to sit pretty well imo.

Would like to get a set of Blacklines for it and a twin exhaust or maybe the black exhaust trim of the M-Sport Plus.

- i think theyve increased the price because I paid £35

They're awesome at Night, however in daytime they're pretty weak. However it's a similar story for most LED kits out there. I know some users have LUX LED bulbs but they're pretty expensive at approx £180! I havent really seen the results in person, but I only hear positive things about them!

If you have any questions regarding the LUX H8 V3 angel eyes send me a e-mail or PM. They will be dimmer then the HID angel eyes, however the 2 rings will be almost exactly equal brightness.

Ill be on the lookout for LCI rears and I keep having bad thoughts about lowering it a tiny bit. Probably go springs and camber plates. Then upgrade the ThunderGP's to a much better (and whiter) led replacement.

And then the big decision - gloss black CSL's or stay silver

A good de-greaser should help you along with a bit of elbow grease. A nice cheap one you can buy from Asda etc is Stardrops.
