My toledo 2.3 v5 20v project

[craig_v520v]

Brought this a few weeks ago so now I can post pics here's my project thread
The car is a 2001 v5 20v with all the extras I got it at a bargain price due to it needing some bodywork damage sorting that the previous owner did while parking . But apart from that its perfect the engine is on nearly 160k but still pulls strong and sounds great and its been well looked after with a full dealer service history and still made 166bhp on a recent rolling road test. So mods so far are
Genuine ibiza cupra 17in alloys
Pipercross panel filter
Smd led front fog, interior lights, side light bulbs and number plate bulbs
100 w headlight bulbs
Chrome front indicator bulbs
4 d carbon wrapped door pillars
And a few stickers
Ill be getting more done next year
Here's some pics

I heated the oven turned it off then put them in for a while. But it just wasn't getting hot enough so I put it in there with it on I ended up braking the black surround pulling the lens off I haven't finished them yet but the inside will need trimming or you won't be able to adjust them.
I will get a picture for u later mate

 

[craig_v520v]

What needs triming 8

What needs triming 8

The black surround inside, it touches the top and bottom of the projector it wouldn't be able to be adjusted.

 

[craig_v520v]

It's hard to see from the pictures but it's the black bit on the chrome bit of the projector

 

[craig_v520v]

They look really good, waiting to go dark to test better!

 

[Matty589]

How did u get on mate?

 

[craig_v520v]

One when its really dark

It was a right pain splitting the headlights I just ended up cutting them open and sealing them with tiger seal . I trimmed the top as u said but I put some heat on the bottom and bent the trim so they'll adjust . it was easy once they was split . well worth the effort took me most the day lol . really pleased with the result tho . no more crap Toledo halogen headlights lol
