subtle cheap mods

How much are we talking for some genuine fitted mats? My LCR has some after market ones that are fairly worn.

 

[sixarm]

Are hids worth it? Is there a noticable difference?

My LCR came with HIDs when I bought it so I didn't get to experience the difference. They are truely amazing though. The amount of light that they produce on low beam is incredible. I highly recommend them.

im definately getting the aerial, wiper and mats. anyone know the best place to get this stuff from.

Without a doubt these two if you dont already have them !

2" Citroen c2 aerial (will post a pic in a minute)

whats the reception like for the radio,

cheers

Terrible!! I only drive about 10 miles to and from work and on that route I can only pick up Radio 1, 2 and 3, which is ok cos that's what I tend to listen to anyway. However, on the way down to Brighton I lost those and couldn't pick up anything!! It looks nice but don't get this one if you actually use your radio. From what I can gather the Civic/S2000 aerial actually works and is only a little bit longer - so still a vast improvement over the massive standard one.

Cheers, i might have to invest in a set then

Can anyone suggest the best ones to get? I've heard the Philips Blue Vision bulbs are quite good???

To be honest it's not really a problem on a day to day basis, but when I drove down to Brighton for the wife's birthday we were listening to Radio 1 and she started asking "why has the radio gone all sh@t?". I had to fess up to replacing the fully functional (but ugly) aerial with a rubbish (but pretty) one. Not surprisingly she thought I was an idiot.

haha typical bloke, cosmetic over function .

Got USB/mp3 player anyway so dont need radio

 

[cupra.rich]

i personally thinkthat hids is the best looking mod you can do to a car, even in the day they look the nuts, gofor 6k or 8k tho (i prefer 8k)

 

[Last Action Pim]

your not the only one there. she said the radio was c**p since i put on the new useless areal on , thats is a waste of money ( shes says as buying her 15th pair of shoes and 9th handbag). who needs a radio when you can listen to the sound of the induction kit and dv.

Il see if i can hunt my reciept down for you, might of binned it though !

If not just go to your local citroen dealer and ask for a stubby citroen c2 aerial .

Nothing i listen to is ever on the radio stations up here . Got my metal coming through usb stick so more than happy with having looks over function there

 

[Last Action Pim]
