Great looking car you have there. Is that Midnight Blue ?

 

it's pearl black. i'll try to get a couple more pictures up.

hopefully changing the tyres this weekend (if they arrive). going for eagle f1 asym 2's. with the tyres that are on it i'm finding the back end steps out way too unexpectedly.

 

a few more of my 300s & cbr.

When I picked up the hatch, and let my hawk go...
(In this pic they both had my plate on them but I can't show that here!)


the 330s


the cbr (got it last feb and been eagerly starting it every wk'end for the past couple of months hoping for good weather)

 

The New CBR is very nice.

 

OK, so following on from yesterdays discussion of LED reflectors for fogs, I took a couple of shots of mine when I got home tonight - not the best photo quality I admit, but good enough. First with brakes off and then with brakes on. As you can see they are every bit as bright, if not slightly brighter, than the brake lights.

These are the same ones as I posted the eBay item number for on the previous page. 330689901709 to save you looking!

HTH, Neil

 

They look smart actually! *Adds to ever growing list* :|

Speaking of which I ordered a few accesories from the dealer today, will I need to remove the front bumper to install the front fog lamp kit or can I do it with the car off the floor?

 

Ignore the instructions which tell you to remove the front bumper, Just simply unclip the wheel arch liner from the front bumper and pull it down so you can gain access to the rear of the bumper.

20 mins should see the fog lamp kit fitted and set up

 

Looks very tidy indeed, but how the hell do you keep your car so clean lol mines filthy

 

Wind Deflectors Fitted, Highlights the black in the car I think

 

Top lad!

 

Good question. And thinking about it, the car's not been washed since courtesy valet while in for MOT early December!

 

where's your Type UK stickers gone?

 

what have you wired them in to?

 

Looks good rob, silly question may be just how much difference do they actually make and I assume you got them via work if so how much?

 

Mine are peeling off or slightly missing in places need a new pair. No idea where from

 

They're wired into the tailgate loom just after the connector with the main loom. The connector is located behind the rear offside upper quarter trim panel.

I made everything reversable i.e. where I had to cut wires and add splices, every tail has a one way connector on it. Reason being that if needs be I can simply unplug my loom that feeds the LED reflectors and then re-connect the single tails and it's all back to stock again.

As supplied, the LED reflectors are dual 'brightness' as they're really designed to be additional tail and brake lights - 3 wires, tail, brake and common earth. To use as fogs, just disregard the tail light wire and only connect the brake light wire and earth. My conversion also reconfigures the stock fog to second reverse light.

If there's enough interest I would be prepared to do a walk-through with pics etc.

 

Just peel them off and be done with it.

 

then you look like you have a 'cheaper' import.

 

thats a good idea if you don't ind.

I like the idea of them as extra brake/tail lights. Not so much as fog. IMO they wouldn't be bright enough.

 

Badges available from here if you decide to replace.

Mine came off during the first frost after buying the car in 2010 and were "replaced" under warranty.
Currently still in my "sticker drawer".

 

The one on that side came off, the other side says "Type U" and is about to be removed.
I think the sticker spoils the clean black look.

 

They are definitely bright enough to use as fogs being every bit as bright as the brake lights. My MOT tester didn't bat an eyelid when he switched them on.

If you were going to use them as additional tail/brake lights then wiring them in would be much easier. Just run their cables up to the back of the existing tail/brake lights and tap into appropriate wiring.

 

Beleive it or not. Quite a lot if you fancy the window down a few inches at motorway speeds you get no wind noise at all. Or wet more to the point. I get them cheap lol. But £79.99 to me inc vat

 

Took mine off too. Mines eligible as it doesn't have a chocolate engine anymore lol

 

But I like them lol

Wow £10 each! Can possibly get these made up for less than 50p each

 

That would be great, I hate removing trim it always rattles after or I break a clip!

Also the 2 rev light change please.

 

my type uk stickers came off ages ago

not going to replace

 

Rule number 1, always try where ever possible to have the car in a warm location, It makes the interior plastics less fragile and less susceptible to damage

 

Fogs fitted, took more than 20mins in the dark lol. Pics tomorrow at a RR day im attending.
