The "Today I did something to my car" thread

I'm thinking of doing the same. I think it gives the car a newer look about it. Coupled with projectors you can knock about 2 or 3 years off how old the car looks.

The smoked white indicators like fine too though!

Wellllllllllllllllllll i just bought them...now I hope Ulster bank sort their shite out so I get paid in the next while!

I have the clear side lamps and silver bulbs all round. I think it'll look great with the black indicator lamps up front. Can't wait.

This car is coming along nicely:D;)

As said, they'll be a nice touch. Seem very decent value too.

Cheers James, I hope they work out. As I'm sure you all know at this stage, I'll be posting pics when they arrive

Jaysis...and my car is lower than yours

The more I look at this the more I hope it'll be fine... :eek:

Dirt of your car - wait 'til MetzgerMeister sees that! :eek::eek::eek:

Unlike him I actually drive my car

~700 miles this week alone, and it's been about 2 weeks since the car got washed!

I do drive my car you toolbox but I also bother my arse to keep it clean unlike some lazy moate muppets!!

You'd be doing well to find a day to clean it in the last while!

Where there's a will there's a Karcher

Damn it challengemaster, mine will go on this evening...

Finally got around to checking the drivers side sill...as suspected not much there as the foam came out cleat



Treated the small rust spot with Hammerite Kurust



Bilt Hamber Dynax S50 Cavity Wax to the rescue



Only way to see into the cavity is with a digital camera..looks a mess but thats the way it supposed to!



Panels still out till the fumes go...took a day or 2 when the passenger side was done.

Have you a breaker bar?

No I don't...I'll have to go out and get someone to take them off for me, and actually replace them.

Tbh, these spacers wont fit, I just wanted to see what they'd look like:( Car's too low!

If they fit diesel boy's range, they'll fit your car!

Trouble is...that my car is considerably lower than diesel boys!

That would make sense since it's a petrol and real cars usually come from the factory lower don't they?? :pac:
