I doubt T-cut would help to be honest... Sounds like a bad paint match unfortunatly.

I think i've got some red t-cut lyin around somewhere, will have to hunt it out, might aswell give it a go.

Just out of interest how much of a job would it be to re-spray the door and bumpers myself??? Or is it best to get it done proffesionaly?

Ideally needs spraying, but tbh dont bother for the price it'd cost you. As for it coming up as a 3 door.....hmm not sure about that. Is there any way it COULD have been a 3 door before? Cant see how its possible, as cut-N-shut wouldnt work when trying to convert doors-correct me if Im wrong.

Nah, doesn't look like it could have been a 3door before.

I reckon may have been some kind of regestration transfer maybe or something? i dunno!

Even my insurance company think my car's a 3door and don't believe me when I say it's a 5door! ha!

But i'm sure if something was up it would have been sorted, been stopped by police enough bloody times! lol.

would be interested to see pics of them, as a while back i was stuck between whether to buy philips blue vision or philips extreme power, but in the end went for extreme power.

with a super bright white led as a side light and the philips extreme power headlight my lights are really really white.

I always reckon lights looks best if they're either pure white, or slightly blue.

Yeh well Im not expecting these to be totally blue, but hopefully a noticeable tint. Sidelights were free too, and look good when looking at lights in day.

lol know what u mean, fortunately I dont have exams on my course (teacher training) but have lots of lesson planning to do, also distracted by SCN mostly

fitted new bulbs and aero wipers (front) Lights look very blue if u get down low n look at them (not driven in dark with them so not sure yet about actual diff in visibility)
Aero wipers look miles better and were easy to fit-tested them with front washer and they moved silky smooth (before they sounded like someone scraping nails on a chalk board!)
Basically, happy with both. Gonna either fit rear aero wiper or de-wiper it. Tried search for guide to de-wipering but its taking forever to find what Im after. I remember someone mentioning 3 screws that hold the boot trim on, but I can only see 2 (one at each side)
Anyone help/provide pics of what I need to tackle?? thanks

There's one in the catch slot if I remember right... Then just take off the wiper, then the motor and put a bung into hole. Oh and remember not to use your rear washer or you will find your boot being quite wet
