IIRC isnt there a white plastic insert behing the lamp that adjusts the bulb holder up and down, therefore lowering or raising the beam?
there are on my xenons, granted they are not standard, but are off a 182 originally. i can adjust them by putting the right sized allen key in and twisting...
terrorist, unfortunately is my dads insurance and tehy wont speak to me, in a nice way they basically said that they can only discuss things with my dad as it is his car, insurance etc (due to where i live, and my age at the time insurance was a joke for me on my own), but he managed to amke...
right, as some of you will know i had a knock a couple of weeks back and needed stuff replacing (all done under insurance) and the body shop (macclesfield motorbodies) said that they would make the car as it was before. . . . .
this means replacing the mods i have added as follows; xenon...
looking good, god i love the liquids
^^^^^true all the way, last time i offered to have a bit of fun washing the car together (ie wet t shirt comp) she did end up costing me alot of time and elbow grease with polishing out swirls form the bonnet :( worth it though if im being honest ;)

easy, if rear drums are on then its not a sport.
guy in leeds somewhere has done his really well as well, incl all lowering, wheels, interior, badges, you name it. only way you can tell by lookin at it is that it has rear drums.
looks a good replica though.
jamie
brian you havent got a silly massive exhaust on it have you? wouldnt mind a look myself at some exterior photos, if you have time and dont mind of course, turbodurbo@msn.com if you please.
cheers, jamie
looks like alot of time and money. . . but not well spent IMO. not a fan of kits that look like asdd ons, but its yours and if your happy then that is all that matters mate. welcome to CS. jamie
looks aces mark, but think you should leave the bumpstrips purely because i think it adds depth to the yellow. breaks it up a bit IMO. and suits the dark wheels too. maybe a cup spoiler on the back but leave the ph quick rear bumper.
loving the wheel as well, only concern would be airbag in...
bonjour, welcome to CS, cooper looks a minter, but like has already been said, keep the 172 for weekends!! and maybe a couple of tweeks planned.....?

mark mate, im doin my cover soon as well but was worried that standard paint would warp or go funny cos of heat from engine, is this likely or can i just buy from halfrauds and be on my way?
also, sorry to hijack a bit, but how easy would it be to recolour a strut brace? thinking yellow in the...
not sure about this, dont like all the grey mesh at the front, hoover for leaves i think but rest isnt too bad. . . .

looks great, not sure about the loose looking airpiping though. . . is it meant to be like that?
polished and strut will finish off very nicely, set of chrome top covers went on ebay last wk for 25 squids :(
jamie
i know what you mean, i enquired about gettin 3 things off them, the batter cover, the fuze box cover and a carbon effect oil filller cap and they said they could give me free shipping, so save tenner which isnt bad.
not sure what they would look like in real life though.
jamie
i know the feeling, although clios seem to defrost and generally heat up so much quicker. which on a hot day is bad but when its winter its great! mates focus use to take ages to even get remotely useable!!
jamie
isnt it to do with different colours and them reflecting heat better or worse? hence white cars are better in hot countries and why they paint house white as well?
dad has a silver audi and never seems to get frost on it whereas my blue clio always does and my neighbours black beamer is...
