I've done 2 neat little mods to the car over the last few weeks. First one was to mount the usb cable out of sight. Cost £0
As you can see below, cable hidden and easly plug my ipod in.
Next solution was more light in the boot, seeing as the nights are drawing in and i find myself using...
you need to lever the mirror off, use something flat. Lever near the car first and it should come off. You'll then see the clips inside to remove mirror.
Same engine as mine, just mines cleaner :P
I really wouldn't bother fitting a k&n. Reasons for this is:
1, you have to buy the kit from k&n as it requires a plate to hold the throttle body down, because with out the air box on top it moves about.
2, Tried a cone filter on the end of the box...
The kit i have is:
Thule foot pack 750
Thule fitting kit 1119
Thule bars 761
Thule one key system
Thule proride 591 x2
I got mine all through work at a discounted price, plenty of deals on the net.
I would really recomment any of the thule range. Think about it, if thats your pride and joy...
Its not to bad for a nearly 10 year old car but im working on getting it better. I've prob spent near another £500 on it fixing bits and bobs.
Did a full service yesterday so thats done, only thing to fix is the rear boot light that stays on and won't go out hmmm.
Hi, thanks. I wasn't after lowering it by much just enough to notice and still be able to drive places. I drive down some rough lanes on ocassions so being lower would prove a prob.
Car has now been lowered on Eibach Prolines -30mm £40 bargain :)
Before:
So i gave the car a good clean including the wheels and took some pics.
Thanks for looking.
When i changed the springs on mine, both top mounts were rusted solid on. Swan neck spanner and a allen key is what you need and lots of wd40 soaking. They didn't bugde so we chiselled off the nylock on both. One freed the other didn't, went to a mates garage and loosened this up with a air gun...
