This weekend the car has been left round a friends house who knows alot more about electronics and wiring stuff up then i do lol 
Got the Purple under car neons working again and they are now being re-wired to the fog light switch.
Got Purple LED Washer jets that are being wired up to the screenwash with a seprate switch also.
And got Blue door handle neons that will be wired up to the interior light so when i open the door they will come on. ill also have a seprate switch to have them on aswel. 
In the process of looking for the right size driving lights that will fit in my front bumper and that will be the out side lighting sorted !
Pictures should be on tomorrow night.
Also my friend has been kind enough to give the car a wash lol

Well neons now dont work again  bit of a set back.
So Work is being done to the car at the end of this month to sort all the electrics out and to also prep the car for a whole re-spray
Re-spray will probs take place around April/May time when the weather warms up.
I will ask the guy who is doing the work to take lots of pictures so i can upload them to my thread

A cheap respray is usually a bad respray, if your wanting it done right, dont spare any expense, theres lots of cowboy paint shops out there waiting for people like you who want it done on the cheap.
Rush it to finish it for £1000, whereas if someone was to pay £1500, they would take more time to get it right, most cheap resprays come out orange peely - basicly looks like the name.

Thanks for you advise but the reason its cheap is because my friend knows the person and he is really good at what he does. So getting it at mate rates, as they have choosen my car as there own project to help me
I paid quite abit for my bonnet and spoiler to be sprayed who wasnt a cowboy sprayer and who knew what he was doing. And after a month the paint work had already cracked.
So im sticking to it aint what you know its who you know to who can do a good job or not. And who has a good rep. And luckily i have found some people that are the best in the business in what they do around my area

Wouldnt really matter if you tidy'ed the bodykit up, at the end of the day, they sit lower than the standard kit, so even the smallest lowering kit will make the bumpers sit low to the ground which will easily get damaged.
Ive just noticed you have morrettes, are they new or have you always had them on?
