Lovely car. Any plans or just keeping as is?

You know me Staffs! Got a few parts to fit that arrived today, nothing big though!

X-pipe?

Lovely car. I was perving on one of these in the car park at work yesterday.

That exhaust with the mod sounds all kinds of naughty.

X-pipe?

Lol no mate, black kidney grills, white led halo bulbs, new wheel center caps as they where corroded.

 

[Danger200]

Shame, as that's perfect for farking off the neighbours :lol: by all accounts, unless you spend a fair wedge on the halo bulbs the rings don't have an even light pattern and/or look shet. I think E90post has had a few people buy some decent jobbies off eBay.

 

[b16a2vtiguy]

These seem pretty decent, I'll have to try them later.
This is what I got http://m.ebay.com/itm/331142871531

 

[Danger200]

They look alright, although in the picture the halo isn't a complete ring. I think it's a company called SSDD that some people have used, obviously should the ones you bought not be very good.

Tried the halo's at night and they are super bright and light up fully

Loving the car with the new black grills, more parts needed ;-)

I think you meant 'more pics needed'.

I know but the weather has been so bad I haven't had a chance :-(

 

[jimbothemagnificent]

I can forgive you that. I was going to get some video today, then it rained, so I watched all three Mad Maxs and drunk wine.

The met office are forecasting sun in Ormskirk between 0800 and 0900 tomorrow....

 

[Danger200]

Glad to hear it about the Halos.

 

[b16a2vtiguy]

Well as said I've done a few things,
-new oem center caps (old ones where corroded)
-Black kidney grills (oem are chrome)
-White halo LED's (oem are halogen)


Small things but make a difference!
Quick pic of the car with the black grills...

 

[Loxy]

Much cleaner look. They match the bonnet vents. :smt023

 

[Shifty]

Didn't know they did these with sunroofs.

I do rather like these though. How's the driving experience so far?

edit: Just re-read your post, I'm guessing you're outside the UK.. I'll be quiet now, sorry.

 

[b16a2vtiguy]

Yeh you can get a low spec, high mileage, older car for £20k now. A lot of car for the money!
