What did you and your MK2 do today?

[KebabWarrior81]

It seems as though different makes produce slightly different colour temps regardless of K rating,just had a reply from the seller of the bay ones I linked to.They are saying that 4300k are slightly yellow,6000k pure white with a small hint of blue,8000k are iceberg blue.

i thinks its probably the sellers listing them as the wrong colour temps then possible.
either way 5k and 4.3k are much better than standard. imo anything above and your better off with the standard halogen bulbs as when it comes to a wet road 6k and 8k are bloody awful.

Fitted my stubby aerial today happy with it compared to the original

Looks good mate I would love a stubby arial but I have the stupid DAB thing on the roof and it looks ridiculous lol aswell as the arial.

Door pods speakers sound so much better outside of the door card, angled them too so the speaker is facing me

 

[Daniel M]

They look good mate. Have you had the handle trimmed in material? Looks suede ish lol on the pics.

 

[MATTCR]

Yeah I used suede on my old pods and those door strips, pics don't do it justice gonna do the door strips in the same leather as the door pod this wkend

 

[Asce]

Interested to see pics of how you fitted them.

Not sure if you can see it too well from the picture. Still need to tie the ballasts down

 

[Jarre]

It's a good idea to get new headlight covers and drill holes through them (or the originals) to feed the cables through as it ensures a proper seal

 

[Asce]

Will seal them up better once i have finalised where the cables are coming out from. Jarre have you fitted HIDs before? If so, where did you put the ballasts.

 

[Daniel M]

Thanks for the picture mate. Might just get some spare headlight covers if it makes things easier.

 

[Jarre]

I just had them loose in the front wings. I never had any issues with that

 

[Asce]

No worries, at least it can be done wiith out drilling any holes. Mine are currently loose in the front front wings as well Jarre

I'm not sure what the space is like on the leon. I had a set on my old focus and I used silicone sealant to attach them on the underside of the light unit.

Woke up to a car that wouldn't start! Got it going with the help of father in law, bought a new battery. Bloody pain in the hoop changing it in the middle of a blizzard......

well technically speaking, wasnt done today but el Cuprano had its 120 000km service completed
- replaced cam belt and all the other important bits
- full service done
- replaced gearbox oil - old oil was black as night!!!!

still to come this month
- new smoked out tail lights with a glossy finish
- triple R splitter

ps. this motor is solid as they come, 120 000 kms of problem free driving on stage 2 (with the stock turbo), occasionally hurting a C63 or so and seeing fuel consumption of up to 710 kms of driving around the city on a tank of fuel - simply epic!

This looks awesome Must be pretty close to your ankle/ leg though when the door is shut?
