Steve,

I'll post some pics of mine soon - not much done to it as yet, though. Halfway through changing all the lights to LED - does look good BUT they're nowhere near as bright as the original bulbs (I didn't get the omni-directional ones). When I've finished installing them, I'll get a pic up on here.

For the future, I'm looking at Xenon headlights and chrome trims for the interior. I thought about blacking out the rear window but decided against it when someone pointed out that is was a bit "chavvy" I also like the sound of changing the brake calipers to BIG 'KOFF RED ONES! Someone else on here (name escapes me right now) mentioned that they've done something similar and that appeals to me.

With regards to the chrome side fins . . . I'd like to see a pic if you're able? I did have a wonder about them but, as they're grey already, I wondered just how much of a difference they would make?

Regards,

Clive

I really like the thought of blacking out my rear and side windows on a black car, I think it will look good, but again unsure about the chav-o-meter.

Here's mine.




This was two years ago on the way home from picking it up at the dealers.
For some reason I haven't taking any other pics yet.
It's still totally standard apart from fitting Rotex gold pads.
If you haven't fitted Rotex pads yet get it done it makes a huge difference.
You get next to no dust from them.
I've toyed with the idea of getting wheels for a while but I really like the standard wheels.
Again I've toyed with the idea of getting the chrome grill, side vents etc but I'm not sure as they match the wheels.
I would like to get an aluminum centre for the dash but I don't fancy stick on ones.
I wish someone would make a proper one that you could swap with the original one.
I've just bought a standard sat nav system and a six disc changer.

I ordered the pads from the States.
Brakeworld I think.
Very easy to fit.
Still haven't got round to fitting the rear pads although you don't really need the rears.
Just thought as I was ordering the fronts may as well get the rears.
Fitted my new head unit and cd changer today.
Still waiting for my sat nav antenna.

Norrie.

Steve,

I presume the illuminated wind blocker was shipped over from the states?
I'd be interested in details as it looks like a good addition...
