PeterH Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Cheers Ash, I still have a few more which i need to tweak a little - Notice i didn't put a pic up of the front Holiday was good but a little boring, max speed is 40mph on the island, so couldn't wait to get back and drive properly! Filled up a 16gb memory card full of pics (not just the car) so it's gonna take ages to go through them all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Have you got a plinth? I've got one for sale if you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamN Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hmm bigger plate looks slightly better I suppose, as it's a bigger car, but I'm not a fan of the GB part... I prefer clean plates, but it's all personal preference I guess Pics look good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterH Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Cheers Gaz but I've got 2, just resprayed the big one but didn't take it on the holiday (d'oh!). Customs and the Jersey rozzers kept giving me hassle so had to put this one on without it. E - Infact, i'm going to order up some new plates now Edited July 16, 2012 by PeterH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 My new illuminated gear knob Colossuss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Lam Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'm liking the knob mate I personally prefer GB plates too as it makes the car look a bit more modern I think and suits a bigger car like a 3 Series, I feel the opposite on a MINI though and I think plain plates work better on a smaller car.

sebgreen Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 My new illuminated gear knob What did you wire it into to get it to work? Only come on when lights on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yeah it's off when the lights are off and as soon as it gets dark it comes on with the lights. It looks really cool! I think it's wired up to the light in the cigarette/ashtray... Mintimperial wired it up - IIRC it's a brown and yellow wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintimperial Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yup, I wired it into the ashtray light so it only comes on with the lights as it does on car with OEM fitment. Looks Good Pete.....now wherever you drive you will be constantly handling my knob! What a lovely thought! RickyZ and SamN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 There must be something wrong with it if it's lights up red!... going to give my car another polish soon with the stuff i used one yours!

PeterH Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Suck a clean car You thought about getting different wheels? I never suck off my car no matter how clean it is! Thought about it but new wheels would have to be lighter, better looking, and different to the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS_MAD Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Mate what did you use for your stone chips mine are really bad and want to improve them like yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Just wetsanded it and buffed out afterwards. It doen't remove them but reduced them a lot. The deeper ones need to be filled with a touch up pen and wetsanded/polished to be removed fully - It's a big job when there are hundreds of the buggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
