Day Time Running Lights

[gavin-h]

I'm sure that the reason they are putting them into new cars is because of laws changing etc, so if you were to disable them I think that someone would have something to say about it!

I'm sure you're right, but usually the law is such a ******* that it will be law to fit them but the law saying you've got to drive with lights on will come in so many years later that I'll be p*ssing myself and dribbling with Alzheimers by the time they get round to it (some of you younger ones might still be affected by it if you aren't worrying about your prostates by then, though).

And can you imagine the Plod having to check the reg of every car to decide whether they pull it over or not?#

Yet another set of useless laws - why don't they concentrate on applying the laws they've got rather than wasting everyone's time coming up with new ones that just p*ss us off.

Im loving the work mate, keep us up to date on progress

 

[Courtney]

Any luck with these yet James? Still really want some ;-)

 

[jra3d]

Sorry been having problems with manufacture, been doing my nut, the last place that was making them delayed me so much as they claimed couldn't do it :-/ now I'm looking again for a moulding service that is cheap enough to make you lot want them!!

Am I right someone with a GT is coming northampton uni?

 

[Courtney]

No that's me with a dynamique coming to Northampton uni ;-)

 

[jra3d]

Your front doesn't differ much from others does it?

 

[Courtney]

Apart from the wheel arches i think they are exactly the same on front! i don't have the front spoiler though??

 

[jra3d]

Yeah I know the arches and front are different between the RS an standard.

I'm wondering how differend between GT, extreme, dynamique an freeway fronts are in terms or lower front end, because that should be standard across the range and only then change the foglight area/grills

 

[Courtney]

I am pretty sure after looking through some pics, the size of the foglight units doesn't differ between dynamique - gt - 133. i think it is just what is put in the space and then obviously on the 133 there is the coloured surround, which makes the space look bigger.. Im just guessing though i haven't really got much of a clue

 

[jra3d]

Yeah check back in the posts as I won't be positioning them in the foglight section!

There's an image of my car with them on the lower front, that's where they will be positioned

 

[Courtney]

Yeah, i got a bit carried away there and what i wrote didn't quite get across what i was trying to say! Just ignore that whole comment i prefer the latest positioning, i think it looks more OEM, although anyone who knows a twingo will know it isn't. Having looked at the new Twingo 2 phase 2 i see the DRL's are where our current fog lights are..

 

[jra3d]

Yeah, did look at that for a bit but required cutting of the bumper to take the depth of the LED an I'm sure you don't want to do that, cos I don't lol

 

[Courtney]

No, no, no!! Definitely not! Even more so in yours where it is going to hold its value a lot more than what mine will! It needs to be something which can be taken off if need be.. Which is what I'm sure you are thinking!

 

[jra3d]

Indeed well seeing as your coming northampton I can steal you for an afternoon to get some measurements from your car (clarity there for all the dirty buggers on here )

 

[Courtney]

Yep, can only be too careful on here...

 

[jra3d]

Anyway as soon as I find a suitably priced company we will have movement

[Peter]

OHHH. Jared, that front splitter idea with drl's from two pages back looks pretty nice! isn't that something that one of the traders making carbon fiber products can put in production?

 

[jra3d]

You know what this has dropped of my radar so much recently with being to bloody busy but not a bad shout. I'll look at locations!!
