anyone had any problems with insurance and detangoing your car? gonna do it as my first mod but do i need to do anything about insurance??

 

I dint. Cant see why that would affect it.

 

bugger me, you are by the book.
lol, imagine ringing your insurance co and saying "yes its modified, its been detangoed"
to answer the question(with a straight face) didnt tell my insurance, but no doubt there will be people saying you should inform them. its up to you

 

thank god for that. a sensible answer at last!!! right anyone tell me cheapest place to get set of crystal sidelights/repeaters/front indicators for a '00 classic??

 

WWW.scoobyworld.co.uk do the whole set for about £99.

 

Last week - £90 delivered off ebay - but by www.flat4online.co.uk trading on ebay.

Excellent quality, highly recommended - complete with silver bulbs that flash orange plus orange bulbs as spares. 5 minute job.

for 99-00, bollox they are 80 quid now!

 

sorry but i have to laugh

 

are the sidelights easy to fit? any sealant etc needed like with other main lights?

 

you say that but i was told on the insurance section of the forum that even undisclosed tints to your windows can invalidate your insurance!! i can only ask questions on the info people give me!! believe me i thought it was a load of bollox as well, but thought i ought to check!

 

sorry mate,im in ireland and although insurance is a bloody rip off they arent really on the ball when it comes to mods etc...if i said i changed my lenses for clear ones they wouldnt have a clue what to say..

 

I'm no spanner man, but the full de-tango is a doddle.

Front indicators - 1 screw each side, pull out indicator, take out bulb in holder, swap bulb with silvervision/orange bulb, place in shiny crystal indicator and replace.

Side lights - open bonnet, one screw each side - take out bulb in holder and place in shiny new crystal jobbie.

Side indicators - slide forward and pull out (should come, might need a bit of subtle effort), take out bulb in holder, change bulb and replace in new crystal effort.

Voila!!

Much better looking front end
