Rob_SRi Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Haha!! Joking aside it needs lows!!! Won't it fail the MOT without the cats ? If not nice mod It's still got the front cats which should be fine apparently if not they're on flanges (sp?) so can bolt the old pipes in easily I don't know if its placebo but it feels more responsive I think and sounds alot nicer but still quiet as stock on Tickover RickyZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_SRi Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 LED fog lights sidelights and angels.. Lights are almost done xenon conversion next...! :-I Can't say as I'm looking forward to hacking my lights apart but it looks stupid with the crappy halogen lights now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_SRi Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Really loving the new front look with the angels and LEDs.. Xenon conversion is happening soon as I get some bits through Not much to update at the moment been a bit careful with money recently thanks to being off work and having to buy a new car but starting to get back on track now so should get a few more updates in the next few weeks! Bought a clubsport gear knob as it was going VERY cheap on eBay.. Not the best condition but I bought it to see if it was worth buying a new one and see how it felt.. I'm sold..! Will definitely be buying another one soon this ones a bit scruffy and its messing with my OCD Gear changes feel alot more defined and it has a much nicer feel.. Very worthwhile mod!

das_flo Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Wow, great read mate, congrats on superb looking past and present motors. A lot of the things you've done makes me think of my old black sport. Just one pointer, apologies if this sounds pedantic, but with oem xenons the ring sizes differ, so you might need to swap your angel eyes for another set. Not a problem at the moment obviously. Keep up the good work, FairPlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work, FairPlay. Cheer pal I can't seem to leave my cars alone haha! As for the ring sizes.. Already got it covered..I think.. Pretty sure these are for the facelifts with the OEM xenons.. Least that's what I ordered! Been planning this one since I got the car.. Can't stand the halogen look after having xenons in all my previous cars.. It's like a candle in a jam jar!! Think these are the facelift rings..
