Thank you!

Superb buddy. Really like the ingenuity. Will have been way cheaper than the ones I've been looking at.

I was amazed at how bright the plate bulbs were when I put mine in. If I pass a shop window/bus stop at night and catch a glance, it's lighting up the road behind me ha ha

Thanks! Yeah priced a set in the US and after I'd recovered from a stroke after seeing the final price for something so simple, I said I'd give it a bash

Same! Theyre twice as bright as my previous bulbs. Love how they light up the road, gives a cool effect.

Your car looks great with all your mods, did you get your number plate lights from the same seller as your interior lights?

No, different sellers

Small update today

Had grown tired of my shoddily painted yellow calipers, felt they didnt suit the new look. That rust was also annoying me

So I cleaned and sprayed the hubs...

...And changed the colour of my calipers to a dark metallic anthracite grey, similar colour to my wheels.

The plan is to change the front discs for slotted and dimpled items in the near future.

Decided I'd tidy up the bay a bit too so following some inspiration from a few cars on this forum...

I sprayed the plastics the same colour as the calipers. The colour comes across as being very silvery in photo's, however it is much darker in reality

Going to try tidy the bay up even more over the coming while and possibly some engine modifications too.

Finally treated her to her weekly bath. Thanks again for looking!

Nicely done on the brakes. Tie in nicely with the rims.

Nel2014 · 01-11-2017, 07:49 AM

Hi excellent work on the rear disks and calipers . Did you take the calipers and disks off to paint or did you do it all whilst bolted on?

No I just masked everything up well and did it in situ. Thanks!

About an hour and a half total, I gave them a good few coats.

Just placed an order for this: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/381570213310?...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The current radio in my car is suffering from the well known E9X syndrome of having a fading LCD display.

Working in Halfords parttime while i'm in college, I benefited from a good colleague deal on a Pioneer SPH-DA120 Apple CarPlay Double Din.

Should have it all fitted this time next week!

RajB · 01-13-2017, 04:30 PM

Nice one. Should be good once fitted.

DelaneyE90 · 01-14-2017, 12:32 PM

So picked up the radio today in work

The Connects2 fitting kit should arrive next week some stage, will throw up photo's of the fitting process and the final product once it arrives.

DelaneyE90 · 01-17-2017, 10:14 AM

Did a little photoshoot yesterday, here's the results

McPikie · 01-18-2017, 02:47 AM

Looking smart as ever

RajB · 01-18-2017, 10:00 AM
