Nice shots jay, but where are your fog lights?

Think he may of took them out to get more air to the intercooler, or has run pipes from there to the filter... not sure.

I did the same with mine yesterday, even hoovered it for the 1st time in its life! (joys of living in a flat) Had about 7 extension leads hanging out of window!

i woke up new years day and found that one of them was smashed, prob due to a stone in the road or something. so i took them both out as i didnt wanna make it look funny just by leaving one in. wud have replaced them by now, but i refuse to pay £81 from seat for one light unit!

as i said above, it was smashed so i took them out, have been meaning to replace them but not got round to it. i am part thinking about turning the passenger side fog light (the unit that was smashed) into an air feed to my airbox, but have got to have a proper look at it to see if it is possible, and put the other fog light back.
my other idea is as im going euro, to smooth out the fog light unit, and surrouding grey bodywork completely for a smooth front bumper. but dont know what that will look like

thanks, i dont drive round with it on, i leave it under my original plate so that if i come to take pics or go to shows, meets i can take it off easily and put it back on for the drive home. in time, it will be changed for a pressed euro style plate, once it has been decked on deep dish alloys

*markoos* · 03-06-2007, 14:10

I've got the n73 too,generally just use it for pointy clicky stuff as usually got my canon 300d with me.

*Cupra_Jay* · 03-06-2007, 14:12

yeah, i want to get myself a decent camera, but havent got the fundage at the moment to be able to go out and buy one, so that i can go out and take proper pictures

*markoos* · 03-06-2007, 14:19

Had my 300d for a couple years now,had an eos500 35mm.Couldnt go back to 35 mm,love the digi too much.Lot of my pics are hit and miss but am usually happy with a lot of them esp as I've been using manual settings a lot lately.But your pics came out really well with the nokia.

*Cupra_Jay* · 03-06-2007, 14:37

thanks, will admit that i am norwhere near the best at the whole photography thing, need more practice at it! if i got a decent camera, it wud be something like the 300d, will be so much easier with a digi cam.

*markoos* · 03-06-2007, 14:54
