That's a win! Mine is awful on speed bumps, literally 2mph over them. People get annoyed behind me when I'm crawling over. Car looks ace mate

thats what my octavias like m8.   looks the dogs but impractical and juicy as hell.. .  was the whole idea of me getting a second car that i will not modify... oooops  lol

ooohh.. this arrived today.. 

 

 

just got to wait for the DVLA to give me the nod and i can fit it  

 

 

 

EXCITE!

I like this is it the age the same as the car?

nope

ooohh.. this arrived today.. 

 

 

With a personalised plate there isn't much point in blanking a bit out!

just makes it a little more difficult for robbingtards to track down your car and steal your shinys!  lol

my SE GEE  plates finally on.   nice to have my stamp of the `smurf`

 

 

front plate..

 

 

the cunning of you will notice i took that ridiculously placed vRS badge off.. 

 

before..

 

 

after..

 

used my DA to buff out the marks.  Cannot wait to detail this car, my other SE looked amazing. 

 

the old badge which will find its way to a new home on the car.. 

 

 

Car is running lovely now, nice mpg, brakes are bed in,  Vibratecnic engine mount seems quieter, no more stinky oil smells from exhaust and new APs.  Car feels new  

 

 

Happy Gee! 

Are you going to be removing the plastic strips from the doors as well? I've thought about doing mine but I'm too scared to damage the paint hahaha

na i want to keep them as in the long run, they save your paint from ****s in car parks ect. 

 

does look better without them but id rather keep them and have less damage.

finally got a little bit of car time today.   Really needs a bath but to much of a mission washing my car at home (normally do it at work)

 

So i got on the mirror mod i wanted to do for ages!

 

Project remote Puddle lights.

 

Following my Auto light module and coming home lights mod,  and stepping in a fk off puddle one night leaving work, i decided to fit some LEDs to my mirrors.

 

didnt start off to well as no matter where i looked i could not find a Phillips screw driver in my car/ house/ or garage so had to remove mirrors with door cars still on.

 

once the mirrors were off i pulled the glass out of 1 and smashed it!!! bang goes the next 7 years!! haha

 

Was not really bothered as i had some Blue tinted glass from the auto dimming bora to replace..

 

 

 

working out where to drill the hole was easier said than done as the LED casing is quite long. 

 

10mm hole next to the drain hole seemed about right..

 

then i had to get the wiring down the worlds smallest hole following the OE wiring.. again, easier said than done...

 

 

all nice and neat inside.

 

now..  the finished result was ok..  but i knew i could do it better...   so **** got serious!

 

went to the garage for some "spares"

 

removed the plastics totally from the SE`s mirror and drilled a 20mm hole. 

as you can see, the LEDs have a recess in them.. 

 

so how do i get the 21mm LED in a 20mm hole?

 

FIRE!! 

 

heated the plastic to nearly the point of meltage, and pushed the LED in hard!

 

from the inside..

 

mirror back together..  this is how it looks.. 

this is it illuminated off a 9v battery

 

blue glass and blind spot bit glass in..

 

looks loads better than the first version i made with the nut in 10mm led..

 

wiring ready to connect to the car.. 

 

this is how the first version looked like,...   poked out to much for my liking..   used red mirror as i didnt take pic of it on the blue se mirror..

 

how it looked from the front of the car...

how it now looks from the from of the car

 

 

unfortunatly i can only do 1 mirror today because fitting the LED into the mirror the first time round, doing the nut up to tighten it, the Wire came out and deemed it a write off..

 

quite happy with the result..  cant wit to wire them in.

Very nicely done Gee!

thanks..   shame 1 of the LEDS broke, would of liked to of  wired them up already. 

Brilliant Idea Gee, so this will be on the fob?

Dayyyyyyyyyym cold out there!!! 

 

Popped my mirrors back on today, wired up the drivers side as im waiting on a replacement LED for the passenger.. 

 

im quite impressed with the outcome.. excuse the car its filthy!

 

 

tapped into the door marker lights

followed it up to the top of the door si i didnt need to extend the wire on the LEDs

 

keeping it neat..

 

and this is what it looks like when operating the fob..
