yeah tried that on my trunk brake light and it turned out terrible, really matt, streaky, etc and sat in all the edges. looked pants hence going for the proper ones.. yours look pretty good though!

my brake light was LaminX film - simple and nice finish. can take it off if you want to go back to stock. might be an option.

The red tint for the rear light apired realy nicely and the results were nere perfect. i have done a quik fix for now on the front tango head light and used the same brand of tint but smoked and that was a lot more trickey not such a good finnes but after 3 adtemps i settle for what was the best i could do which imo still looks better than orange.

hi Maxum, yeah she's a 2.2 - after the remap its fast enough around time to cause a nuisance. Nah sorry won't be at the run - think I'm going to End Of The Road Festival... :D
 
who did your remap, i used Jason from B M Chip Tune, car is more responsive in the lower rev band now, i need to get it back on the rollers to see if there is any power increase, i'm not expecting a great improvement in BHP although the car seems to have more power i think with the remap the adjustments just tells the ecu when to deliver the power i'm fare from being a expert on remaps. anyway my last rolling road results from AMD were 180 bhp that was last year before the remap, i need to go back to AMD just to see what the remap has done. any chance you could give me the details of were you got your CF done :thumbsup:

I wonder why they fill the arches so much btter than my csl reps then, is your car lowered, or is it lower as standard than my 2.2 ?
Click to expand...
His offset looks to be different from standard. They stick out more than normal like mine, so they fill the arches much better. :thumbsup:

Looks gorgeous.. Where are those pedals from.. Me likey :D
Click to expand...
mate they are from 'ultimate pedals' in the states. cost a ton but really good. oh and add another 50 on top of that for damn tax imports. on the plus side they are extremely light and super clean where they have been drilled etc. Almost seemed a shame to put your feet on them.. almost. They do a frosted version which looked cool as well, but i went for the plain version.. no studs, etc.
they can also do a heel toe extension. damn good.
 
Loving your work man she looks great, :thumbsup:

Can I ask you what you think to the quality of the front lights? as I have seen them on ebay and they look really good just was not sure if they good or not?

Do not suppose you have any extra pics of the front? :P

hi Paza
yeah the lights were a gamble but I'm well pleased with them. they are really good quality, look great and not too aftermarket looking.. obviously to the purists its crazy when you can get some OEM ones for 600quid. think i paid 300 quid or so for mine and got the black tint ones. they have angel eyes as sidelights, not Xenon but who cares about Xenon? not me. stick some of the Philips brighter bulbs in - they are fine.
only job is the fitting, you will need the motors out of your old lights and swap them over to the new ones (they don't come with) and then take off front bumper etc etc.
heres some more pics.

Thanks for going to the effort of doing that, you have sold me !!! :D ,
They look really good will have to save up some pocket money to get them, which ebay seller did you use. As I would like to go with the same seller.

oh flipping heck, i deleted the chap, but i think its a company in birmingham that ships them in from the states or summing. will have a look tonight and see if i can find him. :thumbsup:
 
O thats cool thanks for looking :thumbsup: , I have seen a couple on fleebay so I guess they all come from the same company. No Rush as managment at home has a car spending frezze on, after the rampage over the last few weeks :D
