Small update

Got myself some new bulbs for the front end, really didnt like the orange of the indicators sticking out as much as it did so got some "chrome" type ones along with some new 6k sidelights and full beams to remove the yellow tinge from the lights and to match the xenons

My new bulbs (not cheap ebay ones )


New Vs old Indicators


And fitted ( you can see the sidelight Reflection there so you can see the colour of them)

Before

After


Going to get some new plates for it this week sometime as these ones are old a horrible and have some horrible surrounds on them

My headlight bulbs are xenon buddy. They are main beam bulbs. I got them from my friend mikey that owns http://www.newministuff.com/new/index.php

Can't remember how much the bulbs are to be honest they weren't much I think

But they do make a hell of a difference. They all do make aload of difference.

Another little update

just something that's annoyed me from day one are the plates that were on it, they were old and bubbly and had the gash GB thing on the side... also had some cheap looking plate holders
so out with the old




In with the new




Also replaced the old wipers with some nice new aero style wipers







and replaced the numberplate lights with some nice clean LED ones (again not cheap ebay jobbies, these ones had cooling fins... not sure if the ebay ones do?)

It does doesn't it. Especially with my back one having all that BMW shite around the outside of it. Just annoying that they screwed the front holder into the bumper. Got screw marks in there now. Would of ran it plate less otherwise

Think it would look odd with a thin one upfront and a normal sized one on the rear??
