Looks nice mate I look forward to seeing it with the wheels on! Very interesting choice. I reckon it'd look great though

Thanks guys! You have no idea how much it pains me just having these wheels in my room with no tyres... Can't wait to get them fitted!

Oh yes I have an idea, i had my F1's in the garage during a month waiting for the spacers that were out of stock...

Advice needed!
I know what tyre's I think I want... 7j front I was thinking of getting 175/50/15 and the rear 8j 195/45/15, I've been told this will be enough to give me some stretch to comfortably fit my car and keep the tread inside my arches, my question is.. could I get away with less stretch on them and still keep the tread inside the arch? I want stretched tyres, but i literally only want what i need, I don't want to go too over the top!
Any advice would be a huge help!
Thanks

Sorry I don't really know what size you should get, I have a 5dr and arch clearance is slightly different on 3dr. But I think you will have to roll the arches whatever the tyre width.

I can't comment on this, as I'm 9 years on from you (I would presume) and did all the same modifications; stickers (although not as god awful as the ones you have, IMO), blue tinted lights, tinted windows, LED rear lights. Then went full r****d and bought coilovers, spacers, the Renault Sport Clio body kit etc etc.
You will regret it. Return it to normal, save the money and buy a sportier car when the NCB build up. Trust me.
Sorry to copy out this post again, but does anyone know what grill this is? If flippin ace!

Looking forward to seeing how your car look's on them wheels. I know how you feel having them in your room, i had to wait over a month to sort the adapters for mine. So frustrating, worth the wait though

Right, I need advice.. again, my new headlight bulbs aren't white enough for me. I want 6k's so a white not a yellowy white... but the company I brought my first set through don't have a set of 6k's. There are other companies on ebay that sell h1 h7 and h11 6k bulbs, but I don't know if to trust them? Im happy to spend a bit of money on these to get a long lasting, bright white set of bulbs.
Also, would it be worth in a HID kit? If so does anyone have any good sets I should get?

*6000K sorry

How'd you tint the light. I like the look of it. Seen the fly eyes kits.
You was right saying 6k, k stands for a thousand, therefore 6k hid's = 6000 which is the pure white. Only headlight bulbs I've found near 6k that ain't hid are from halfrauds! Laser blue bulbs, I use them. And you can't tell the different between my non hid laser bkue bulbs and my mates hid kits. They cost £30. However a hid kit is only £55 on eBay :l up to you really
only get hid's if you have projector headlights not reflector headlights though!

bought them cheap off a guy on ebay, yeah ive seen the fly eyes, look alright, altho from close up i can imagine them looking a bit horrid...

thanks for the advice buddy! I was tempted to get the halfrauds bulbs as i saw them in your thread and another guys thread... but theyre asking £20 a bulb in my local, PLUS the online reviews all say they only lasted 5 minutes!

Having said that if they do actually last a long time I dont mind spending the little extra for these bulbs

My step dad got fly eye on the front of his hilux. It doesn't look too bad to be fair though.
Ive had mine for a few months now with no problems touch wood! People just like to complain about halfords haha! But sometimes they do have little gems! If your looking at £20 a bulb then maybe hid's are the option. But remember to always carry a spare ballast and bulb!
These are the bulbs
heres how they look, as you can see a blueish white, no yellow

I WISH I SAW THIS BEFORE I WENT TO HALFRAUDS.
Literally earlier, I went in there asked for the whitest bulbs they did, they sold me the black pack "ultra bright - £29.99" - by one get one free so i thought yeah okay. I went outside to fit them, and like f**k were they white! They were about as yellow as the stock bulbs! So i went in and was like REFUND YO'. I think im going to save up and get a HID kit. I don't think ill be able to get good bulbs that are Bright and white at the same time... and after halfrauds messing me about I can't be arsed with trying to pack you bought.. haha

Scrap that.. Just bought these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal...hicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35a5d57579&_uhb=1
Going to see how they last and look, if they look good ill keep them in, if not ill just put the other set ive had in back in and save up for HIDs like i said. If they don't last long, it has a 12 month warranty, ill just get my money back!

Ill get a night shot of these headlamps I use, it's no good going to halfrauds and asking they're opinion as most are t**ts who ain't gotta clue. You gotta go in there knowing exactly what you want. Mine literally look like hid's
Apologies for the poor angle of light but I'm parked on a slope. As you can see. Nice and white in contrast to the yellow glow surrounding by headlight beam by road side lamps

They do look rad! I also love you Angel eyes, I was going to get some myself a while back, but the price put me off for a while.. wheels are more important at the mo haha!
Are they bright on the road? also, Do you have the link to them online? Or are they an in store only product?
You have the headlight adjustment height, mine are on the lowest setting, I drive behind my mates all the time and have asked them if they blind or glare in their rear view mirrors, which they don't.
Plus, I've been pulled by the police once before as one of my brake lights was out and they never said anything about my headlight bulbs - it's not like they are going to inquire on what bulbs they are, where I bought them, and what their purpose is, such a minor detail. They'd be more worried about whether I declared my modified headlights (which i have) not what bulbs I'm using
But Kerry's got a point, especially with higher wattage, upto you, just thought I'd try and help
Also these 55w 100% blah blah xenon look brighter bulbs would be just as bad as using 80w bulbs, as the burn at a hotter intensity to achieve the brighter light. The wiring outside the headlight casing would be fine, that's what a fuse is for, but the internals of a headlamp you could say are put at risk. But no more than using these xenon look bulbs imo
clio dynamique 16v
Good shout! Im guessing that'll mean i wont have to buy a hid kit then?
d2s bulbs are the HIDs :L
