Some updates before South Mimms



  mx5
Thought I would do a couple of mods before the south mimms meet that i had been meaning to do for a while. Ignore the wierd blossom stuff on my car, it needs a wash before sunday
First, I painted the rear badge to match the others

Before:

After:

Then i decided to sort out my bulbs as they were rly yellow
The sidelights look much bluer in the pics for some reason, but theyre road legal (E1 Approved)

Old on the left, new on the right,

Also changed the dipped beams to "xenon blue"

New on left, old on right (new sidelights in both)

Voila, job done, only took like a min per bulb, the benefits of having a tiny 1.2 engine lol

For some reason the pics make my new sidelights look much bluer than in real life, and the new dipped beams look more different in real life than the pictures show, either way im happy with the outcome lol, comments welcome.

And before anyone points out, yes i have ordered silvervisions (and new h11s for the fogs) but they havent arrived yet, they should be here by sunday though.
