Hey mate, cheers for joining and posting up some pics. You and Wimpy i think are the only ones (as of yet) with done up rides, check his out too.

Wouldnt mind seeing your air intake set up, there was a thread on here the other day about changing from the OEM situation

Hey Andy

Welcome to the forum

What you've done sounds good, get some pics of the inside and other mods so we can see a little of what you've done. Read the thread on breathing. It's to do with the 1.9 air intake, you may have an opinion or pointers on it. I didn't have much luck with the LED lights so went back to normal bulbs

yes i will upload some pictures i had spot lights on it but took them off so i will get some up to date pictures =) and the air intake is not the best i was experimenting i cut the box off half way along and sealed the hole up with a silocen for the min as the induction kit made no difference with the box on but as its off now it sounds good but the induction kit is prity big i have on it but it sound more sporty now but im going to get the pipe made and it will look better and the led bulbs are in the side lights and the number plate but there not blue like what boy racers have there the white if you know what i mean.

Yeh I know what you mean I got White LEDs for the side lights but they only lasted a few months, hope you have better luck with them. Look forward to seeing those pictures

[andy b]

Would those have been the cheapy ones I have been looking at on e-bay??? think they were about £1.50 -£2.00 for 6 or 8. If so I won't bother purchasing

[lemsworld]

I can't remember how much I paid but were off eBay. They had 4 LEDs in each came in a pack of 2. Maybe the more expensive are better but time will tell.

i got 2 packs from halfords with the 1 led and a other pack with 3 little leds in them i have had then in since augest last year and i have had no problems =)
