[damon6uk]

Had my car about a year now it's a mk4 pre-facelift but due to insurance an my first I cant do the mod that I would like to do
And also as its a 1.2no point in really doing performance modifications

Also I need a wish list so if there's something I missed out that is a good mod don't be afraid to scream at me


Few pics :

He's how it was a while ago

That's crazy dude lol all that light would be a bit much for me inside the cabin but it looks cool! Did you do all the wrapping yourself?

It's all wired to the dimmer on the light switch so it like can go to what brightness I like quite handy and yeah side mirrors was the first thing and got kinda addicted

And this is my gloss black collection

 

[53 Leon SX]

Nice! I would attempt some wrapping myself but having a black car I feel like my options are limited. How easy was it to do the outside B Pillar?

 

[damon6uk]

It was one of the easiest tongs to do just because it doesn't have any dodgy curves or annoying bends took longer trying to figure out how to get the things out the wrapping them

Have you got a pic of the whole car? I'm sat here trying to imagine what it's like

 

[damon6uk]

There we go had a little sort out now

 

[Chris_a_73]

Nice and shiny

Lamin-x rear lights look great; light smoke or the darker one?


Next task is to get rid of those hub caps

 

[killieboy123]

Love all the gloss black bits. I have footwell lights like those too. Like them a lot.

 

[Chris_a_73]

I'm guessing they're LED strip lights? How did you connect to a power feed? Just scotch lock onto ignition or something?

 

[CGD217]

I love the gloss black around the vents thats good!
When i have sorted out my drivers side door lock microswitch, i'm thinking of getting some footwell lights but ones that only come on etc. when the doors are opened.

Don't know how hard that would be to do though!

Cracking colour mate

There only light smoke thought dark smoke might be to much of a contrast because the Colour of the car
And alloys in next month waiting for wages

Cheers and how are yours wired up

Yer just a 22cm strip and it's wired up to the light switch so they come on when lights are and because there in there I can use the dimmer swell
Looks like this :

Uncliped the light switch and use a posi-tap (alternative to scotch locks ) one to live one to earth

Thanks and to do it when the door opens just same as how ive done it but wire it to the interior light youll find the wire up the right hand side of the front pillars and just figure out what wire does what and fit up

 

[Chris_a_73]

Wow that actually looks pretty easy! Might have a go myself

 

[damon6uk]

There really good tints because if to wanna get rid of them you can just un twist them And it leaves just a little pin ***** ithe wire

 

[killieboy123]

Cheers and how are yours wired up

I have a switch sitting just above my right foot so I can fust flick that. Wish I'd got them just to come on with the sidelights tbh.

 

[damon6uk]

It only takes 5 min to fit it up to the side lights

 

[killieboy123]

I wouldn't even know where to start. I had mine fitted for me before.

Could do a step my step guid for you or depending how far away you are from me could pop over and show you

So I got my fr grills today, they have made a huge difference, here's what I did:

Started out like this

The first two upper honeycomb grills were easy

After that I had to do a bit of DIY work, I got the idea from someone on here (sorry i dont know their name) due to the fact of me not having fog lights, heres what I did:

So I got some plastic off a DVD case and cut it into a circle (ish)

And glued it to the cover

Here's the end result:

Tell me what you think

That would be great. Well I'm just off Glasgow so maybe the guide would be easier, cheers.
