Default New Wheels and Detangoed!

Spend a few hours down at Charlies today for some detangoing. What a nice fella!

However after taking my headlamps out, putting them in the oven and taking them apart it turns out i'd got the wrong indicator bulbs arrrrrrrrrgh I needed the wedge style bulbs and i had got the round dimpled ones. When down to Halfords to have a look on their bulb chart and it says the round one are for 2002-2006 cars and the wedge type are 2006 onwards........strange!

Anyway Charlie sprayed my clear bulbs orange, then silver and they've turned out OK. Will exchange my PIAA ones in due course but until then at least i am still legal!

Also put some new wheels on last week. Not the best pics but you get the idea........

Now got to start saving for Mocom remap, prodrive springs and geo settings!

Dan

Nice one - Charles is a top bloke.......... did you drive your car down his path, or did you let him do it?.........

thanks for the positive comments guys - it getting close to how i want it. Not going to go too overboard as i like the stealthy look. Just pondering whether i need mudflaps or not........

Spec C - cheers for the offer - i think im going to be OK swapping them but if not i'll let you know

looie - nope i let charlie take my car down his drive as theres about an inch clearance either side!

Glad the birchanger meet went well today - good pics again
