Haha good man!
I'm still waiting for my treat from Maggi after he bought coilovers!

 

[mikehealy5]

she has not long given me the best thing in the world and that was my little son oliver so I think its only fair that she is treated for everything she does day in day out whilst im at work.

Hopefully sort a exhaust out next month. been in talks with a garage near me in blackpoool and found their prices are not to bad for a custom stainless steel exhaust that he will tune to exactly to what I want it to sound like.

I ordered some "logo projection leds" the other day and got round to fitting them today.

so thought id do a little how to

this is how they arived in the box. they came complete with x2 projectors, and a cutting tool.


1st thing to do is to remove the door cards. this is done by removing the screws surrounding the door cards.

x3 underneith
x1 at the side
x1 behind cap in door handle
x1 behind cap near electric window button.
door card comes off from the bottom 1st then pull up.


next was to cut a nice round hole at the bottom right hand side of the door card.....


projector sits in nice and snug and the wires are fed through the door and out here...



then they run into the cabin through this connector and into the foot well



the cables go under the carpet, behind the console and iv cut them in to my footwell lights that i had installed previously.



heres some pics of the finnished product. ........
