Ok guys, Update time... I received a lovely white dial insert, kindly donated by Blanco which I'm yet to try and fit.


Also... I could have a rather nice package (or packages) come the end of the week if all goes well... Probably my biggest mod yet. Can't wait!!!

But I'll have 2 keep yas guessin till it comes

Small update...

A quick pic of the dial insert from Blanco:

Got this through the post this mornin... Nice little mod I think to even up the rear look:

Oh, and I got round to fitting my ambient lighting under the radio console last night:

I'll try to get a better picture of it soon.

Still waitin on the main package(s), should be here by tomorrow..

Guessing the main package is a bumper of some description

Those ambient lights look good! I'm tempted

Hopefully you have better luck with them than blanco did

Yea, the lights are really easy to fit, gives out the same colour as the rest of the car too so it looks like it should be there (OEM style)

Really hope the dials will work, though, I tried earlier to fit them, cant seem to disconnect the unit..

Hmmmm.... a bumper you say?

Perhaps... Perhaps not...

cheeky little mod there with the new lights. They should look good on the red

How did you wire up the little light inside looks really good. Been wanting to do the same thing for a wh-ile

was really simple, just wired it up so when the sidelights are turned on, so are all the interior lights, includin my new ones - it was an LED strip I got from ebay a while back.

As for HIDs... can anyone shed some light on this (no pun intended!) Would slim basalt h7 canbus work on my car? or does it have to be h7r? or anything else that it has 2 be?

H7 will work fine, the h7r just means the bulb has a black strip over it to prevent glare. I had mine fitted this week. Went for h7r to be on the safe side. Really like them.
