^^^^^^ I love this car!!!!!!

No, the yellow/amber side lights that all cars have (exc new audi's) in conjunction with the main beam. Im not sure, I think I want to keep the standard look so nobody can tell whats under the bonnet!! ;)

Fair enough!!! Would be handy as they are a right pain to put in and out!!!

Thats surely illegal and begging for a tug!!!! :)

Really? I just wondered whether it may be worth trying to match the xenon look but from past experience none of them seem to be bright enough!!!

Has anybody got any pics of RS with led sidelights to replace the standard amber bulbs???

Yeah I had to change the standard bulbs over a little while back when one blew and I swear it must have taken 1hr to do. Im going to hire a midget next time with small hands to help!! lol

Just been thinking about maybe upgrading my standard amber sidelights to LED white ones to match the xenon headlights?? Just wondering what do people think about LED's over the standard bulbs before I go through the ballache of changing them??? :approve:

I used a plasti-kote clear primer once it was sanded down and then I used 4 coats of plasti-kote metalic paint in blue but you can get loads of different colours!!

Yeh was thinking of either black or silver but wanted them to be a bit different without being as in your face as red!!!

Re: Washed, Waxed and painted calipers Here a pic of the red caliper before painting.

Here's one before the calipers were painted mate!

Heres a few more!! Have a new number plate to fit properly in the recess at the front to go on tommorow night!!

I thought id take advantage of the good weather over the weekend and do something iv been putting off for ages.........painting my calipers and giving the wheels a good clean!! I decided to go from red to a much more subtle gold colour. So here they are with a few random pics after a 4hr...

There is a guy on here who lives just round the corner who has a BG 182, not sure if its caged though??? WILLIE is his forum name i think.

To be honest iv always been a fan of Meguires stuff, you can buy more expensive bits but I really like the meg stuff as general all round cleaning materials!!!

Check out www.xenonshop.co.uk, I got some bulbs for my old 1.2 clio and they were brilliant, closest thing I found to the "xenon" look, only £11 too.

Actually saying that I think I still have mine in the shed, might see if I can flog it on here!!! lol

Haha they are very loud!!!

How are you finding the Simota, I had one previously to my Powertec kit but didnt really like it. Great noise but felt like it made the car more sluggish. Such a tight fit too!!! :)

The pipercross one on the ebay page will fit yours and make a good sound but wont be as loud as others out there if thats what your looking for.

When I used to have a 1.2 I got the Ktec induction kit with relocation pipe to put it right behind the front grill that was quite a good roar. I have a Powertec kit on my 172 now and that is really loud, not sure if they do a kit for 1.2 though???

Have you checked the engine mount bolt under the battery because I had the same but lifted the battery out and tightened the bolt and it was sorted????

Mine have never worked, I can hear the motor turning over when you hold the stalk in for a few seconds though. Any ideas on whats wrong or how i get them off to have a look at any blockages etc????

Yeah thats it just make sure everything is nice and tight and you should be fine. Happened to me a few times driving along and then the temp gauge goes through the roof!!! lol

I had one, didnt really like it but you have to push the top lip down so it sits under the ridge on the front grill but be careful as the the outer ring that goes around the outside is sharp and if you push it too far down rubs on the coolant hose and splits it!!!

Yeah I was a bit sceptical after seeing the american promotional video on you tube (very cheesy) but glad I did cos it really bought the paint work up well and the polish and wax just made it even better!!!!

That is amazing!!! Im really impressed with that!! Was it hard to do??

Il put some pics up tomorow as I only have pics of my re-painting the calipers job at the moment. Went from boy-racer red to a nice subtle gold colour, looks really good with the silver. Il take some pics when I get back from work!!

I used the meguires smooth surface clay kit today for the first time!!! I have never clay'd a car before and wow what a difference it made, I always clean my car every weekend but this has really brought the paintwork back up to scratch!! I followed this up with a good polish and wax to seal...
