Thank god for that,just bought and fitted Osram Nightvision's,thought i'd missed a trick LOL

Just fitted Osrams nightbreakers for full beam/flash, they are a pair of belters. Decided to fit LED festoons all round, ordered 42mm, so they were a squeeze!

Decided to remove the rear L E O N and realised it was applied with superglue, so left with the remnants of that to deal with :censored:

Good tip! You sure it won't take my paint off though? Some guy posted nail varnish remover I think. Not be trying that again..:whistle:

haha ive used it a few times and i havent had any problems. if you think paint might be coming off wash it with water between scrubs. It should come off pretty quickly so paint damage should be minimal :)

:cry: Utterly heart broken! Slid on ice and hit a 3ft thick reinforced concreet, terrorist proof wall! Needs a new headlight bumper and wing! And possibly worst of all, i was in a cue of traffic going to work, cue much ripping of pi55 and a very hurt pride. Hope the family aint expecting many christmas prezzies, but the body shop boys are getting a nice fat christmas bonus. And to top it all i was going to get snow tyres fitted after work, ah well im just off to cry in the corner...

Mine's gone to my friends place of work for a new uprated clutch, a Wavetrac LSD and a re-con'd low mile gearbox to go in. Gear linkages re-aligned and adjusted where need be, full fluid flush of the brakes and gearbox and a 42 draft VW shifter bushing set to be fitted.

Winter prep for next year's track time ;)

Got another Alpine stereo to change with my current Alpine, Powerflex top mounts and dogbone bushes for when I get my coili's fitted next week, goodriche brake hoses, bigger rear brakes purely for looks and hopefully decat and sports cat to come in a couple of days time and yet the spending continues.

Got a quote back from the body shop for my incedent i mentioned yesterday. £1300!:scary: Cue long phone silence and "are you sure?!" Then a resounding "oh" when told ut wasnt a mistake. Frantic scouring of ebay sees me awaiting delivery of a headlight and wing delivered for £120 and in negotiations for a bumper for £200. This is after the body shop telling me that they cant get second hand spares from ANYWHERE!

Yea, well i only need the bumper wing and head light, ive already got the light and wing, but there isnt much choice for FR/cupra bumpers, its probs easier to get a LCR bumper, but im not keen on making it look like somthing its not, especialy since it is a pretty good spec car as it is.
