How much are we talking for some genuine fitted mats? My LCR has some after market ones that are fairly worn.

Are hids worth it? Is there a noticable difference?

My LCR came with HIDs when I bought it so I didn't get to experience the difference. They are truely amazing though. The amount of light that they produce on low beam is incredible. I highly recommend them.

whats the reception like for the radio,

cheers

Terrible!! I only drive about 10 miles to and from work and on that route I can only pick up Radio 1, 2 and 3, which is ok cos that's what I tend to listen to anyway. However, on the way down to Brighton I lost those and couldn't pick up anything!! It looks nice but don't get this one if you actually use your radio. From what I can gather the Civic/S2000 aerial actually works and is only a little bit longer - so still a vast improvement over the massive standard one.

Cheers, i might have to invest in a set then :D

Can anyone suggest the best ones to get? I've heard the Philips Blue Vision bulbs are quite good???

To be honest it's not really a problem on a day to day basis, but when I drove down to Brighton for the wife's birthday we were listening to Radio 1 and she started asking "why has the radio gone all sh@t?". I had to fess up to replacing the fully functional (but ugly) aerial with a rubbish (but pretty) one. Not surprisingly she thought I was an idiot. :shrug:

I got My HIDs from HIDS Direct! They were Spot on! Really fast delivery (Next day no extra charge!) came with everything to fit them including the grommets and look amazing! And also good value! :)

your not the only one there. she said the radio was c**p since i put on the new useless areal on , thats is a waste of money ( shes says as buying her 15th pair of shoes and 9th handbag). who needs a radio when you can listen to the sound of the induction kit and dv.
