Cool Mods For Skint People....

What are silvervisions?

 

[5parky]

indicator bulbs which are of silver color but shine orange when lit up. The idea is to make the headlight not look orange because of the orange color shines inside the housing, i hope that makes sense!

Brake pads etc

Hi mate,

You need this.. http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/6913.html

&

This.. http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/6751.html

If the 2 above don't match the car you have just have a look on that site and the correct ones will be on there.

P.S. these might be at the back of the head unit already, or hiding down the back from a previous owner, so it's worth checking to make sure you don't buy another of each.

Silvervisions are so last year. Get yourself some Ring enigma indicator bulbs or Osram diadems. About £15.00 a pair from Motorworld or try Ebay where I got mine for £8.00 inc postage.

Also got a Richbrook Gear surround to tart up the inside. These atre normally about £17.00 but got this brand new on Ebay for £5.00 + £2.00 postage.

Couple of cheap mods thanks to the Bay of Plenty.

 

[ChrisPearson]

Yeah that mod was already on the car so I didn't mention it.
I've been looking to get an RS grille but there's no rush, it doesn't look that bad on my car.
I've seen it on other cars and others colours and it looks horrible.
