Vaders would cost £800 for a non shit pair and are nigh on impossible to find.

Picked my seats up last night from driftworks of all places.

They are in need of a clean urgently but they are mint and i didnt realise they had an ///M logo like my vert did on the headrests which is a nice subtle touch.

Anyway will look to get these fitted asap.






Got the rears too. Not sure what to do with them, may just sell on. Might use the leather to retrim a few other bits to make the match better. Headrests look like they might be able to be swapped too?

First job is cleaning them as they have been sat in a workshop for months. Second is fitting

Jambo, with those chrome handles.....

Run a bit of wet and dry across them in one direction take the shine off them and make it look like brushed alloy.

Will take out any imperfections.

No John not yet, me and the Mad scientist are currently comiling wiring options and trying to find a day to do it.

Too chav? Mine are fubar as they are 14years old and hazy, glass too so not a lot you can do to renovate them...

Want to replace my alarm LED with the factory one, the clifford one is like a fucking disco inside my car when its locked. Probably attracts attention. (Blue led) So want one like in this picture..

Also need Tom to paint my nob as its all worn out, we have discussed a custom finish for it too....

Xenons i can agree with, not Angel eyes though.

You *might* get away with it if they were the factory "yellow" colour, but the above just looks very, very wrong (regardless of the car).

These look chavvy:



But i think the above are just the regular headlights with the eyes put in and with xenons? Just looks more modern IMO!

However, the yellow you talk of is possible too.

Any colour other than Yellow will looks poop.

It doesn't help that the E36 didn't ever come with Angel Eyes, but at least the Yellow tries to help it look just a little bit more OEM...

These were taken from an E39 IIRC...
