Looking really good mate!

Just wondering where you got that cd holder from? Looks really smart! Never seen one before.

Also, how hard is the arm rest to put in? I was considering this, but got put off by people saying it was a hassle to fit!

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

it was a potch but hes happy

ebay for the cd holder from a main dealer on there claering parts only hold 4 but works well as I have mp3 cd player installed

arm rest as andrew said was a potch but I feel worth it 1 1/2 hours maximum

I have just bought myself a set on ebay not sure of the make but they have a sticker on the base of the unit which reads "RELIABLE AUTOPARTS QC MADE IN TAIWAN"

there are chrome units with 2 angel eye ring in each lamp unit and a standard sidelight hole under the standard lamp (inner) and the Projector style unit next then the indicator hole

anyon got any idea where I could get hold of a fitting guide or similar will post pics of the lamps later

Next on the todo list

STOLEN FROM LEE69 - cheers mate

Now have my Angel eyes to be "modded" and fitted.
For anyone who want's to do the same as i am follow these basic instructions.

Remove the 4 clips holding the lens to the outer case

Then they split like this

Then break the seals holding the plastic to the actual front lens

Then pop out the plastic "angel eyes" and remove the indicator bulb cover

And it leaves you with the carcass to spray black

I shall update this when i have sprayed them, i am waiting on some H1 hid bulbs arriving to make full use of the projectors

After 6 light coats of matt black, just need to let them harden then I'll rebuild them up.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

will have a look int the flesh , must admit not a fan with them being chrome /alu look but painting em may change my mind

where them RR's en

 

[hoggy90]

did your handbrake cover come as just a floppy kind of cover?i put mines over the original one....

 

[MarkWales]

no sorry mines a genuine cupra r one

 

[Gordz]

You can get ones just like the lights you've bought on ebay, but with a black / dark background instead of the chrome.

Can't find them again now, but are from Germany.... and are just short of £200 I think!

 

[hoggy90]

no sorry mines a genuine cupra r one

how much was it?

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

ones for the vinyl cutter

 

[MarkWales]

heres what I did tonight

 

[LEE69]

I also took the diffuser out for the indicator, not sure if that is 100% clear in pics.

What you using to light the rings?

 

[MarkWales]

was thinking of replacing the 501 type bulbs 4 each ring with 501 type LED
also when you say you have removed the indicator diffuser do you mean you did not put it back in when you re assembled them as i have also removed mine
