Simply amazing! Wonder if that was one take?

:worthless:

Please keep your posts and pictures in one thread...

Good job they come with a life time warranty then! :lol: Not my problem any more anyways matey - sold over a year ago and not seen nor heard of it since! Shame though as would love to know how it's doing now :(

Shop around and you can get HID's a lot cheeper than £100... I paid £45 for mine on ebay! thnk the seller was called 'dianeshop' or something along those lines and they were shipped from hong kong! Been using them for the best part of a year with no problems at all...

The loom is the heart of the problem so would be the very first place to start tbh... if you want to go brighter after that then uprated lamps or an HID kit would be the way to go! There are varying opinions on HID's and the law is unclear (although others will say it's black and white) and this often ends up in an already well documented debate about legalities... I have them on my LCR and they are superb - very very bright and I haven't had any trouble with the BIB or anyone flashing me when driving towards them! Would deffo get the loom right before starting on anything else though 8)

Can't be legal!?!

the current 4 door 3 series is the worst looking bmw in a long time M3 or not imo...

Cheers Jimathy... really sorry about that mate! I feel really guilty :(

eeek! Sorry buddy I clean forgot about that - dunno what to do now :?

Spoke to Jon earlier and whilst I feel that GlosterOx was keen and the first to offer to buy Jon was the first to offer full asking price... So, in accordance with the forum rules, sold to Jon so long as they're collected as I really don't have the time to post/meet to deliver! Will bear in mind all other interested parties if for any reason this falls through!

Looks lovely matey! Cracking cars and very economic too... always thought it was a good idea when skoda dropped the green painted callipers 8)

I had these on my old C but they were reps by mille miglia (sp?) think they were 7'' or 7.5'' x 17'' Cracking rims though and suit the C down to the ground in my opinion 8)

Dunno really £35? Not keen on posting though...

VW never made the blue tinted lens - I think it was DDI that had them specially made... I have a pair of these brand new and unused if anyone local is interested? (really can't be bothered to arange posting so would insist on collection only)

they do seem to take the pi$$ slightly with the pricing tbh... mine wasn't overly cheep - but I'm happy enough with it! I suppose the more expensive ones should hold better value as they will be more sought after/have clearer ways of being read...

I don't expect to have too many issues tbh as it's all legally spaced and won't have any dodgy screws in silly places... father-in-law seems to agree too (ex-surrey traffic) - fingers crossed! If it does prove to be an issue then I'll just stick it on the Mrs car :lol:

PMSL spotted that myself - was thinking I could have some fun getting away with it on the front but not the back :lol:

Just bought my perfect personalised registration plate this morning... I realised a few years ago that this would be the best and only way of getting my full name on a reg plate but for some reason DVLA hadn't released F prefix plates and didn't know when they would... anyways, I exchanged a few emails asking when it would become available and was always told that they couldn't help but to check back regularly - I also signed up for their update emails! So imagine my surprise when by complete chance I was having a quick through the Piston Heads forum and spotted a thread about F prefix plates! They were released yesterday morning and the phone lines had been open from 8am to 6pm but a lot of people were posting that they'd been totally unable to get through as all lines were jammed! I guess a lot of people were after various combinations starting with F1... Well it was after 6 so that was that for yesterday but I checked DVLA's site and the one I wanted still appeared to be available. I also checked reg transfers . co. uk and they too claimed to own it so I didn't know what to think - reg transfers wanted an extra £200 more than DVLA would sell it for... I discussed it with the wife and we decided that all I could do would be to sleep on it and let fate decide! Phone lines re-opened this morning at 9am so armed with my credit card and a quiet corner of the office I sat patiently (ok getting more and more stressed) hitting re-dial for nearly an hour before I got through - and the good news is they still had it WHOOOP! :cheers: I still need to work out how I'm actually going to pay for it on the next statement but at least it's mine! So, bearing in mind that my name is Phil Kett here is my new reg: What do you think? Close enough (FIL KET)? Bit of a tedious link? OR just a total gay?

Thats why we've had two days of rain!!! :lol: Looks great though chap! 8)

Well I spent most of the day driving a nice little coupe yesterday and must say I am absolutely going to become an owner as soon as I can! Fantastic driving position, turn in, cabin comfort and low noise. Engine is quiet for a diesel (ok still sounds like a tractor but that

Look smart... not the best wheel I've seen on the C but not bad either! End of the day it's upto you though... do what you like best and sod anyone else 8)

I have a 123d for the day on tuesday! 8)

hmmm... just found this and am liking it even more now!
