Advice On Modifications...

[mick-fr]

I got 2 sets when I had my Corsa, and kept them for the Ibiza Cost about £15 a pair I think off Ebay.

Yeah I hadnt changed the sidelights over in that picture, but the sidelights Ive got now match the 6k's pretty well... But I forgot to keep the ebay link

ok cheers & also what LED side lights did you reccomend to me as i cant find the URL haha

Erm well I have a set of white SMD LED sidelights... about £5 for the set off eBay. They each contain 6 "surface mounted" led's and are quite bright. However, considering my lights are slightly yellowish (normal halogen), they are very contrasted in terms of colour.

There are PIAA white sidelights, which are apparently meant to be great. They are about £20 for a set, however apparently last donkeys years!

ok, what type do i need haha (one day i will know what to do with my car)

 

[Chris_a_73]

You'll need W5W (otherwise known as 501) sidelights

[mick-fr]

This is what I have

clicky

They match my 6k's pretty well and dont flicker at all, theyve been on a good few months now too

 

[marksy93]

as stupid as it may sound are they bright?? (only asking because i changed my mums sidelights to LED and they are really dim when compared to the old ones)

Yeah they arent bad mate, Ill try get a picture tomorrow if I remember! Its raining atm so Im not going out just now

I've got these ones.

They've lasted a few weeks so far, no issues yet.

I think they're slightly "blue-er" than the SMD LED lights by looking at pictures of others.

DRL's are a big no no in my mind... very tacky... but each to there own...

I had a euro'd polo for my first car, insurance was sky high (£2996 to be precise....)
you'd be suprised about the mods adding to your premium tho, I declared alloys, coilovers, uprated brakes and smoothed bumpers to my first policy and it only went up by about £60, (elephant insurance)

So the exhaust could happen for you afterall lol....

ANYWAY the point of my reply was to let you know that i may well be selling my FR alloys in the near future - I see you fancied some...
