ex Clio 172 owner :(
Fitted the Silvervisions this morning along with a Cup Splitter (courtesy of blobby - cheers). Bulbs take 30 seconds each to swap, splitter is trickier and requires the help of a mate to make life easier.
Pre bulbs and splitter..
Post bulbs and splitter..
Pleased with the splitter however, I didn't notice the bottom of the bumper is scuffed and means that, level with the letter on the reg between the GB and the 53, it doesn't quite meet the splitter properly. Hard to notice when you're standing up, a few feet away.
Silvervisions aren't as good as I thought. Sure the tops of the bulbs are silver but the shafts still have a bit of orange on them meaning you do get a small amount of orange reflected around the headlight glass.
Rear silvervisions are a similar effect.
Before..
After..
I also bought Bluevision H7 bulbs for the main beam and bluevision sidelights.
The main beams still look yellow to me though (no photos here). The sidelights, I can't get them fitted! My hands are too big and can't manage the passenger side never mind the driver's side. The driver's main beam was hard enough. Going to have to get a midget to do it.
Pretty please with the results. Maybe gonna take the spitter off and adjust it's position.
Ordered some totally plain and standard reg plates from fancyplates.com to go on next. Currently seeking a second hand (preferably iceberg silver) Cup rear spoiler and possibly some anthracite 182 alloys. Ordered a ITG panel filter and will need some new tyres and exhaust soon. Going for 4x F1-GSD3's or Exalto and a 3 inch s/s Powerflow cat back.
Had the car a week now and really pleased with it. Smooth and civilised, yet lively when you put your foot down. Nowhere near as hardcore as my old VTS but just as much fun and far nicer all round.
Been getting 32ish mpg around town and 45 on motorway run this morning.
