That's your first real mod if I'm not mistaken.

Still would have been easier to buy and ///M though :poke:
Thanks Steve :D

Had to think about this... I guess you are right though. Springs were done by a garage, badges / stubby don't count. I did fit cup holders and spacers, but this is the first time I have properly taken something apart and changed it. Quite chuffed :oops:

...and it will take me longer than 90mins as well as a good deal more sweating to buy an ///M...

Bing, are the needles dual coloured, or all red?

Just a red strip down the flat bit on the top of each needle - all red would look a bit Civic I think :D

You know I was just joking Stuart :friends:

I am sure with the blue lit dials the red looks very classy indeed :wink: Would only look Civic on a non-Alpina like mine :D

I was thinking more bodywork, Titan Silver sides, Imola Red on the top. Should match those needles a treat :)
