I was thinking about wind deflectors, really useful when it's raining, or on the motorway. You can also leave the car when it's hot outside with the window open a smidge and no one would be able to tell ;)

UPDATE :

Got another packet on 501 bulbs today, they are ULTRA 501 blue bulbs that are supposed to shine white :

Got them fitted :

Was a bit nervous due to trying so many other bulbs, I was worried these will either bring up the dash warning light or shine with a slight blue tint. I turned the light switch and no dash warning light and was greeted by this :

It shines white as per the description and looks lovely. I put everything back in place and went to the multistory to get a picture in a slightly darker setting :

They look blue in the picture but I can assure you they are white :D will get some photos when it gets darker outside.

you must be close to opening up your own bulb store lol.

Glad these have worked. Look forward to the pics later![/QUOTE

Lol not far off!

Also thought my baby could do with a clean today as she looked a bit grubby. Started off by cleaning the wheels :

Then took her to the jet wash to get all soapy :

After a wash and drying (Yup dried her at the jetty!) :

Also cleaned the windows and wiped the car down with Monkey Spunk :bleh: I'm really happy with the results! :

Sidelights look good. Only thing that would worry me now tho is the task of getting headlights that match (that are legal!). Does it matter to you that your number plate is showing on your pics above?

Glad you spotted the number plate showing. Your car looks brilliant. You are very good at taking pictures of it. I am useless! Always too dark when I get a chance to take some. Plus I keep using my camera on my phone. Will try and take some pics with my proper digital camera when it is light!

i've never washed my car at one of those jet washes. would you say its easier to do that in the winter than hand wash?

Love the bulbs! So gonna have to get some after xmas. Look awesome. Both sets are legal though right?

Need to get myself a wheel brush too, you're melting my bank card here lol :p

You've never washed your car at a jet wash?! You have to get yourself down there tomorrow! It is much easier to do it in winter than hand washing.

Cheers, so glad they are now FINALLY sorted lol both sets are legal :)

Haha, i'll definately have to get there maybe next week coz my car is so filthy. My mum even cleaned the door handle with her finger before getting in because she knew it was there lmao.

I'm sure i could spare a few quid for the bulbs then, not too much of a strain lol.

Edit: Just ordered the £3 ones for now, i'll order the canbus later this month then fit them together.

Yeah the ultra. Going to London in a few weeks though so gotta watch the pennies whilst getting xmas presents etc.

I try to do mine every 2, but autumn/winter is already becoming a pain.
