More pics...

The third to show one of the Osram Diadem indicator bulbs in the rear light cluster. The last for the difference between the standard interior map light (left) and the Philips BlueVision replacement. Makes a nice subtle difference IMO, without the direct 'harshness' of an LED setup.

Very nice mate :thumbup:.

Is this the car you 'stole' off some poor unsuspecting sod in the Bournemouth area? ;) :P

Haha, cheers Steve :D

Bournemouth, hmmm, might be! Who told you anyway? :P ;)

Steve

From the pics it looks very tidy, Steve

Is it yours though ? :P

  • Author

Thank-you kindly. Yes, all bought and accounted for :D

Are you attending on Thursday evening then?

Steve

Looks nice Steve, will we see it Thursday?

Was seriously thinking about it - then there have been one or two late additions that have me worried :P

Well I've been assured there's enough room in the pub for the both of us. Opposite corners? :rubchin: :D

Oi, wait your turn :P

I was going to let Len 'engage' him in a meaningful discussion (should be about an hour).

Then, when I've done - you can have what's left.

Mind, may be better to wait until he's had the 'Happening', the 'Planned' and the 'Possible' (wonder how his girl gets on with discussion topics like that :eek: ).

Get on with it Val, time for bed for me mate :)

Looks very clean Steve, I will drop mine round one day :P

A very nice tidy example there!

Looking at those photo's makes me want one again !!!

Phew. For a minute Steve, I thought you'd bought another Fabia. :P

Absolutely - the finest quality available, I believe.

As of last Friday, Eibach Pro-Kit springs, Koni FSD dampers, Cupra and Powerflex front wishbone bushes, and the Jabbasport rear ARB have been fitted :thumbup:

Pictures to follow, showing the drop etc, once the weather stays dry for 5 minutes so I can wash the car :grumpy:

Steve

Tart:D

:rofl::thumbup:

I must admit, it sounds fairly well sorted.

I have ran out of funds, especially as the cam-belt is due.

Hopefully father christmas may bring me some suspension.
