It's no secret that I've sold my Black OctyII vRS and replaced it with.......................................another Black OctyII vRS!. WHY I hear you ask, well without boring you too much and keeping it short it came down to basic finacial sense to change now rather than later.

Is that a bum print from MissKia on the bonnet :P

*Cough*

I am collecting a Neuspeed kit in precisely 35 days, in fact I think I am sporting virtually the entire neuspeed catalogue now

Look forward to seeing it Steve. Any future modifications now, that you've saved for a financial mind ...

Or are you just sticking with the original modfications you had?

And a very nice car it is too

And :orb_blow_ for anywhere on it I may have hurt

@ cheezemonkhai -:orb_toung

That's ok, don't apologise to mine then will you :P

Anyway... I'm sure you didn't do anything to Steve's car

Glad you've finally got it!! Bet its lovely to have a fresh one to tinker with.

What can we tease you about now? I see you didn't get the sunroof...

Oh dear.

Enjoy it fella!

Nice:thumbup:

heated seats?

You forgot steve other modifications 1 cracked windscreen after 150 miles:P did you get it fixed .

A stealer told me that if the Octy had green callipers it was the petrol, and the red was the diesel.

Your shopping list above steve reminded me why my full beam was crap to my last car, my last car had very bright (and illegal) bulbs. So just got myself a apir of extra bright (and road legal) full beams, what a pain in the **** it is to change the flippin bulbs!!

Indeed, well spotted sir

.........what a pain in the **** it is to change the flippin bulbs!!

Not at all, if you remove the headlights first it's a piece of cake

thats what i was getting out, gone are the days of flip off the rubber cap, pull out the bulb and stick in the new one in under 30 seconds, it was closer to 30 minutes grrrrr.

..............it was closer to 30 minutes grrrrr.

30 minutes!!!!!!!!!, a couple at most :confused:

n/s wouldnt unclip, gave up and went to the o/s did that then went back to n/s which after it did pop out wouldnt pop back in.

Would my guide have helped?

Perhaps not, as I wasn't certain how I managed to undo the clip in the end - I agree its a fiddly thing to do.

it was liked it was siezed, as soon as i tried the o/s it came out straight away.
