It hit me the other day that i probably shouldn't spend a shedload on my car as its done 70k and once i get a (half)decent job ill probably want to buy something faster anyway.

So theres some little things I want to do, to refresh it and make it enjoyable to drive again. Iv got(all but) a steering wheel from Gaz and I want to change the bulbs in my heater knobs becuase all but one of them, have gone. I want to change them to something a bit more "white" rather than the yellow-white that comes with the car. I also wouldnt mind changing my spedo lights to "white" and not yellow-white. Does anyone know of a site I can buy these bulbs from? also... what bulbs do i need? can i buy them as part of a whole package?


Use http://www.ultraleds.co.uk or an ebay site... there are quite a few. Think they are 509T's but I cant remember.

Ebay site : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Vectra-Corsa-Cavalier-White-LED-Dash-Bulbs_W0QQitemZ110134575672QQihZ001QQcategoryZ72237QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

Id also like to remove the black rubber stripes from the side of the car, but im not sure if it'll look better... Im scared the paint on the outside of the stripe will be more faded... same goes with the badgeless grille.. i wouldnt mind one of those becuase iv seen one for like £18 but again- im not sure if it'll look better. Does anyone have any before/after shots of these 2?

Its all down to taste at the end of the day. I prefer leaving the rubstrips there and using a heatgun on them..... As far as fading goes... what colour is your car?

Also Speakers... I made a speaker thread a while ago but i was wondering if anyone had any more reccomendations as far as speakers go... I want to spend like 100 (around) on some new fronts and some new back speakers. But iv had people tell me not to buy 6x9's and get comps other people have been telling me different things and i was wondering if everone could school me on speakers and maybe make some suggestions???

With car speakers..... do not use 6x9's with a sub... thats the only rule. Some people prefer components and a sub... others prefer components and 6x9's ... just dont mix the two!

Have a search on http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk . Personally I like Infinity and Rainbow kit

I also want to spray my dash grey to match the car, but i just wabnt to spray the middle bit (the bit surrounding the heater knobs and stuff..) and nothing else maybe the door handle surrounds. Does anyone have any pics of the centre bit sprayed? so i can see what its like??



Kinda gives you an idea of what you can do.....

Thanks for any help lads(and lasses..?), would really appreciate it!

Surely a heatgun will remove them anyway? Any my car is silver.
