Its not new but its only 10 months old with just 3k on the clock. 1.4 SRI. Had a look at it in the showroom and it all looks good, but I'll see how it is on the road, plus I can get a better look at it outside.

Those indicator stalks look very much like those on the B, are they? I still have the alloy stalks here;)

Going for a test drive tomorrow, anything to look out for other than the rack?


Grrr, I'm easily bribed :lol:. Yes i think the stalks could fit on, wanna send me a price :D.

Nothing really that i can think of. Listen to knocking coming from the rear wheel arch area from inside the cabin. Noticed this on a coupl eof my mates cars when going over bumps, but neith of them have been arsed to get it sorted so dont know what it is :lol:. At the end of the day aslong as the car isnt shagged/bent, then you've got no worries as it'll all be covered under warranty :).

Quick question, in the mfd, is there a white plastic light diffuser same as in the B? Got a few ideas in the pipeline for when I get mine;)

where did you get the LED's and was it easy to do??

OH and why did you put a white one in the middle and not all blue :D



LED's are available off Cobra148. You need 2 for the MFD, and 3 or 4 for the Dials, depending if you want to do the odometer bit too.

Decided to have blue and white, as i wanted two colours. Had blue and green in my last car and liked the way the colour faded from one to the other :). Also i already know of 3 C's with all blue illumination [Cause i had to do the fuckers, :lol:], and as good as it looks, i wanted something a little different.

There also as bright as the standard illumination, but they look much better :D.

As for easy to do, it was for me :D, My car's the 5th C i've done :lol:. My tutorial should be done by the end of tonight, so will be online in a couple of days :).

I did mine a while back. Got the LED's from cobra. Think it cost me about 9 quid for MFD and dash bulbs :thumbs:
