I like the cornering lights and wouldn't say they are stupid at all.
DRLs only look chavvy if you buy those lovely strips of LED lights from halfords.

Loz has nice DRLs on his Fabia. In the fog light position too.

Never heard of fitting an LCD splitter? Is that so people can watch tv as they drive past you?:cartman:

Sorry for trolling, couldn't resist :) Plans sound good keep this updated!

Quick update:

Dad took bumper to work today to give to his mate for spraying, been told it will cost less than £100 and should get it back in a few weeks as he is going away for a week. Also got the best news I have had for ages. I am getting a christmas bonus (not had a pay rise or bonus in the last 4 years) in January's pay of roughly £550 :) I think the car will eat up most if not all of that in a few days lol. Exciting times ahead :)

Will you redo your rear light tints?

I have been told by some friends to get my rear 3 windows tinted. but I cant make my mind up!

You will like the Apex 35mm. The car will sit quite nicely!

Yeah the light tint will be done on the back ones again also the headlights and the fog lights. I would recommend getting your windows tinted especially if it's a black car. Yeah the springs will probably be fitted after Christmas by a friend for £75 :),

Get them tinted dude, Apparently the small window is plastic so they can't use the bake-on type of tinting on that piece.
and while you're at it, get the B pillar and the triangle of plastic on the rear doors wrapped in gloss black. smartens the side up imo (check my RR)

Just seen it. I like the idea, but I think that because of the wrap, it will be smoothed. I Don't generally like it when things are smoothed.

Such as colour coding the interior. The plastic pieces have its own moulded pattern on top. To sand it down and spray it I think ruins the design. But that just me!

I think that the B pillar looks good with some decent trim restorer.

On another note about the windows. I don't want to go to dark as reversing will be a bitch at night.

I can say that I thought that before I tinted the windows to the darkest the bloke had, that I wouldn't be able to see in the dark to reverse, but actually it's not to bad at all, just need to use your wing mirrors more to judge how far back you are. With the rear window being as dark as I could get it really helps at night with people who either dont turn their high beam off when behind you or are to close to you because you then don't need to keep dipping the rear view mirror

Hey, yeah I can get pics of the interior but I can't/dont know how to upload them using my iPad. I have few little bits coming over the next week. I have ordered my fog light kit which should be here sometime this week. I will upload pics of the car and the bits I have to go on the car next weekend after it has had I bloody good wash lol.

Btw hope everyone had a good Christmas
