I'm sure you can remove the bumper vent , stick you hand in and up to get to the bulb?
maybe i'm wrong
Blue LED bulbs here
had them fitted before I even got the car by the dealer lol
Nice looking car and suspension setup you gone for 
I have a brand new, boxed wheel that matches yours if you interested in a spare?

Hi, the Tyres are eagle F1 245 40 18, I don't think they are made anymore so I to will have to pick new Tyres at some point, I was thinking of using Toyo 888 next time but have read they are not so good in the wet??? My current F1's are great in wet or dry and also really good in the snow. The F1 also look nice ;-) Eagle make an F1 tyre with a different tread now, doesn't look as good as my current ones!! Cheers Ian

oooooooh, see I'd seen yours and that why i wanted to go a bit smaller, as when you have less letters, you end up with more gap/space.
what size is the front and rear plates, are they the standard legal sizes?

I don't suppose it was because the filter wasn't quite tight enough ??
Bit worried as mine ticks over (cold) at 120psi and with slight revs (1500) gets to 135psi. I usually let it warm up a bit (oil to 35C ish) on idle to try to prevent seal failure.
Does the K&N alternative filter have better seals/different design Rob ?

Heard about this problem, but hoped it was a one off

Unfortunatly the filter was as tight as any other, I just think that some filters arnt quite pressed right I'm not sure. I have just never really had any faith in these new filters they just look cheap and tacky
. Mine tics over at around 110 psi and jumps to 120psi at about 1500
I just drive mine below 2000rpm until the oil comes up to 50c
the K&N seems to just be a better filter, looks allot stronger too seal seems the same though

Cheers Rob, just coming up to an oil change so will try a K&N.
I had a filter split around the top pressed/folded over join and lost the bulk of my oil on the underside of the engine (back in 05) - took it back to the Subaru garage where I bought it (Chelmsford) and they gave me a replacement ! great ! Didn't seem bothered I could have blown my engine had I not noticed the sudden smell of v hot oil fumes and immediately stopped to investigate, and weren't interested in helping clean the underside of the engine/car.
Forgot to ask Arron/Rob if there is a discount shop for the K&N filter ?

is anyone interested in buying the mid level rear spoiler (as fitted to the Cosworth)
I've changed my mind about fitting a c/f one, costs r just gonna be to high so I dont need this any more.

what's the connections in the centre arm rest on this 330s I pick up next week,
it has the phono jack?
so i can plug m MP3 into it to get the sound through the stereo (but you can't control it off the head unit)
those RED/YELLOW/WHITE type connections, what do you put through those?

arron i noticed u paid £56 for your foam lance from autobrite, yet I'm on there site just now and the total bill including delivery comes to £71.37, just wondering if you could shed any light, and also has any one else dealt with this company. I'm a bit concerned about there payment method, its dealt through sagapay and when you go to put the credit card details in the page doesn't seem to secure itself?

As for payment I paid through paypal as a gift payment.
Very good service but think they are quite busy and had/have limited Internet at the moment.
Cheers
