im quite enjoying the secretiveness of it tbh, anywhere i go i can blend in...apart from my screaming bright headlights :laugh:

it's a damn good car though, have to admit, just need to make it a bit more "special"

yeah it's just standard reflector lights but the HID bulbs are h7r bulbs (the r being reflector), they have a small cap on the end of them that puts a hole on the beam pattern, meaning the actual light from the bulb basicly shines backwards and off the reflector like a normal bulb would, so it operates exactly as a normal refector bulb does, only much, much brighter, but takes more or less all the glare off so it doesnt **** off oncoming traffic etc

sweet, might try them out in the stilo same me getting projectors. never knew they existed. i need h7's you got a linky?

I contstantlly get flashed at, when I've got my lights dipped.
I've also adjusted them down, so it shows -1 on the display, but still get flashed at on dipped beam Grrr.

just because its on -1 doesnt mean there low enough. check them against another parked car. at 50ft they should not be lighting up the rear bumper.

you may need to lower them more now you have the sub ect in boot

haven't updated for a while

few wee things done, but mainly repairs. latest development is the drivers side rear spring has snapped

2 months until the mot is due and the current list needed is.....

2 rear calipers
rear discs and pads
exhaust backbox
exhaust downpipe
rear springs and shocks
airbag clock spring
2x tyres (potential, getting a bit low for tread)

i also need to.....
sort leak in door
replace fuel sender unit
replace clutch
replace flywheel
replace clutch slave cylinder
sort fueling
replace inlet hose and maf

on top of that, upon inspection a couple of days ago, found the chassis rails under the boot floor are starting to blister badly with rust, tbh im weighing up some considerations given the amount of work needing done that i know of

have my eye on a potential fun toy to partner the cinq that will be a shock to all on here, so i guess it's a case of watch this space

can we get a beam pattern pic of the h4R bulbs pretty please.
