Only got the alloys the other week so I'm getting them lacquered before they're put on for good..

Already got:-
20% tint on rear 3 windows
17" fiat alloys on toyos
and thats it haha

Plans:-
Front licence plate vinyled anthracite
White light bulb headlights
Rear mudflaps and possibly front if I can be bothered cutting around the side skirts..
Possible red badge upgrade
HEKO wind deflectors
Front quarter windows blacked out
Lowered on Eibach Sportlines
and any other little ideas I get but thats all the main things for now until I get a permanent job anyway!

Well I wouldn't bother with HIDs if your not going to fit projectors as you'll get awful scatter and be causing a large danger to all other road users! Would be far better of fitted some uprated xneon bulbs instead such as Osram night breakers etc.

Uprated bulbs will be your best bet then, cheapest, best look without pissing people off and will light up the road a lot better. Win win all round :)

Nah uprated bulbs don't, and the advantage of them over HID's is they're 100% legal and correctly 'E' marked also (y)

Sorry to bring this back up again MEP but i was just browsing there and came across a post saying that headlight bulbs in gp's are H4, but night breakers are H1, and that H1 is only used in the fogs? What does the H actually stand for? Haha :confused:

EDIT: just realised there are different model numbers! Oops!

You're ok, always best to check, you don't want to spend money on the wrong ones and get stuck with them.

Like you say the GP used H4 bulbs, H is the base type I believe.

You want either these night breaker PLUS - make sure you get night breaker plus and not just night breaker, as the life is vastly improved on the 'plus' units (y)

Or what I personally now use are Ring xneon max

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XENONMAX-...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4abe2e6161

Both do the same job and are as good as each other, only reason I swapped to Ring was I used the night breakers before the 'plus' range existed, and found the life on them pants. The xneon max should last about a year, where as the night breakers (normal) lasted 3-4 months :(

The Phillips blue ultra visions are amazing! Here is the linkwww.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00440CWDK I have had them for 4/5 months now and they are awesome crystal White with the lightest blue tint they look amazing.

Sorry about the late response not been on in a bit haha, stop giving me ideas! They do sound pretty decent and trustworthy since its philips and if what they say is true (brightest bulb on the market) it might be worth getting them...kid in a sweet shop here haha :yuck:
 
Well thought I'd update since I've eaten into a big chunk of my wish list since payday...got my philips ultra blue dipped beam and sidelight bulbs on the way, along with some chrome nut covers to hide my lovely rusted nuts and some rear mud flaps as well (any ideas on how to spray the punto bit white?) :confused:

Got my front quarters tinted as well and going to use my car as a guinea pig to try some new glue out on my rear tints to see if we can get rid of the horrible dot matrix gaps..front licence plate and side pillars getting vinyled in January too! :)

So not much left..wind deflectors aren't needed just now and lowering will come next payday, happyhappy!! :D

On the mudflaps try tyre pens, you know the white marker stuff people use to make the branding stand out? That should work!

I want my windows tinted but dont know if ill ever get around to it, did you do the front triangles yourself?
