Had a little piss about in Adobe Lightroom just now, not really sure how to use it, and think it would benefit from better pics, but here it goes...






First one is my favourite. Was taken with a 'proper' camera (crappy point and shoot thing) and in decent light, whereas the bottom two were taken with my iphone on a dull day in the shade :tongue: Plus, need to get rims and more lows!

Any Comments?

What a mission!

Just had to fix my lights (had a headlight, brake light, and the reverse light blown)..

Reverse light has never worked and is corroded, so I managed to get it working by spending longer on scraping the corrosion off this time, and managed to fix that for the first time in 9 months! But in turn that messed up the indicator.. also corroded.. dammit! So cleaned up that and got those working.

The brake light was the other side so changed that over, sorted, slight signs of corrosion on the fog light and indicator though :rolleyes: Thought newer cars were meant to be better!

Headlight.. ok, no room to work, cant even see the bulb to know how it fits in.. look in the manual.. take it to the dealer?! Erm no.

Stupid little metal clip thing later and its out and new one back in..

I cannot believe it actually took an hour to change a few bulbs around.. took me about 5 mins on my mk3!

the bora is the same, most people take the front bumper off and the headlight out ... luckily i have a mate with tiny hands and he managed to swap them over in 5mins  :grin:

She is looking good mate ... i know i said a few pages ago ur wise to keep it pretty high and comfortable but ... like you im gonna have to buy some coillies ... 40mm drop isnt enough  :laugh: :evil:

Corrosion for lights on a car of that age sounds bad....  Yeah what is it with headlights needing dealers its a joke!...  I have the same with my daily, cant change anything on the O/S unit... its a pain because if a bulb goes you have to book it in and if you get pulled by the fuzz in the mean time you cant do anything about it!  it takes an age to change it if at all possible.  bulbs should always be the easiest thing to do!  Car still looks great by the way..
