i got some angel eyes for £80 and they do make the car look so much better.
i manage to connect them by taking the plug apart and having cut down connector to fit in and saved cutting the plug off

You should disconnect the LED sidelight, the rings by their self look better.

well heres some pics of the car as it is now after a good old polish.

this is the inside with the gear lever area painted

Comments welcome cheers

kirtisb · 5th July 2009, 23:25

whats do you guys think about changing the white to orange? make it stand out better?
comments please

Lippy · 6th July 2009, 00:17

Brighter and standing out isnt always better IMO. The centre console looks good but I think 'less is more' phrase needs to be adhered to. Looks good so far but if you do much more it might be a bit OTT? just a thought...
Angels look really good on your Black car!

well i have finnaly got a flat petrol cap that i now need to get painted, also get a new rear wiper as mine has snapped. and also gonna have a go at putting on some rim tape. i will post pics when finished.

kirtisb · 12th July 2009, 01:19

well the rimtape went pants, i painted the cap black and ended up like this and i wasnt happy with it and i have now started again.

i have fitted an old mk1 wiper arm with the slimline blade will post pics i can

Lippy · 12th July 2009, 01:21

petrol cap just needs loads of coats of laquer and sanding with 800 grit sandpaper and then t cutting a bit then waxing! looks like you got it to cover pretty well!
