Right. Things are happening at long last. I didn't bother doing anything with the van what with my ex being pregnant lol. Now I'm back making a bit more money I can crack on.

Over the last week I've ordered:
New, clean reg plates (using electrical tape to cover the Leeds City Council on the bottom of mine atm"

Osram nightbreakers
White led sidelights (have yellow ones in which are nearly red atm lol
Led numberplate light.
Led interior light, which makes a huge difference!

Some black vinyl for the dash strips. Gonna get some more for the bumpstrips too
Also a couple days ago I picked up some 172 alloys which I'm hoping to have on by Saturday if the rain stops! These will be sprayed black at some point, again weather dependant.

That's about it for now. Think the next big thing will be skirts or 172 rear bumper over the next couple months.

No pics atm though cause I'm just waiting for everything to arrive.

Will I need longer wheel bolts for the alloys? Cause I imagine the alloys are thicker than steelies?

Erm I think you do. I remember my DCI cAme with the dynamique wheels and a steel spare. The spare had its own type of wheel bolts for some reason. ( probs shorter )

Get some off here.

Bolts seemed to go all the way through and had all the thread sticking through so put them on lol

looks good with the alloys on. colour code will make all the difference too or even just the handles

Terrible pictures but I've just finished wrapping my dash strips. Few creases on the edges but for my first attempt I think it looks alright :)

I have and I think I'll have a go of re-trimming them myself in some plain fabric or something:) not sure when I'll get round to that though I just want the outside looking better for now

Added a bit of colour to the dash strips and mirror cover. also have a nice white numberplate light that makes a huge difference!
