Installed some OSRAM 4000k 501 sidelights. Definitely gone from yellow to white. Lovely!

And put in my Pipercrosss panel filter. Thank you kazand!!

I can actually hear it a bit more sucking noise. Didn't expect that. But the pipercrosss is about 1/4 the thickness of the stock paper filter

I hope you don't get walloped on the insurance. I know its her fault, but even if your involved in a non fault accident it can affect your insurance premium :(

no worries on the mirror cap mate :), have the mirror caps and grill done gloss red: here's mine in reverse:


I'll second that. I had a none fault which wrote a perfectly good diesel Felicia off. Bought a cordoba vario which although I love it has been somewhat more demanding from me than it's predecessor. I got buttons back from the insurance company for the value of the car and my premium went up for the next two years while it was all being settled.

Drove over a shredded tyre in the central lane if the m180, just pulled out to overtake and it was there, suppose it's a good job I wasn't nailing it lol

Any damage?

There some muck on the bumper that seems it'll need a lot of convincing, but car drives fine. No funny noises or rattles (that weren't there before anyway lol)
I'll have a look in the morning when I hade some real light but I think the undertray is intact.

Could have been loads worse though, it's an unlit stretch. So lucky, for now :)

the ambient lighting sounds interesting bud, got any pics/links to where i could lay my hands on something similar?

cheers

Just a strip of 12v LEDs from eBay and connect them up to the roof light wires...it's a really easy and cheap mod! They also dim she you lock the car too.

I went one furor ther and also had mood lighting in red to match the dash when the headlights are on, still got the white lighting in both the front and rear of the car connected to the roof light.

Ran fault codes and got 01135 fault code.

All Mk2s seem to do that, I reckon they probably leave the factory with that error! I noticed it a couple of months ago on mine but won't be taking any action, alarm still works etc.
