Thanks for the comments I also like the old wheels but to be honest just fancied a change.Its really now how I want the car to look I was going to put some different wheels on it and go for a better stance but Ive decided to leave it as it should be a anniversary and just try and keep it mint even though its used daily  :wink:

Finally bought myself a HID kit ive gone for the 6000k with the H1 bulbs plus they have got the slim line ballast.I still dont really know to much about these HID kits but the 6k seems to be a popular choice and in terms of brightness not to much.Im gonna have ago fitting the kit myself hopeully  :grin: so once its fitted ill put a few pictures up  :wink: I also reinstalled my rear wiper yesterday for the winter at least as I just hate not being able to see out my rear window in bad weather so thats back on but Ive put the 1 series BMW arm on which Danny Monday gave me when buying me old wagon  :wink:

Good stuff, the HID's are pretty simple to install, i'm sure i've read somewhere that if your running hella quads then you need to disconnect a little yellow plug that lives under the airbox. It stops the 'dip dim' or something like that! Basically stops the headlights coming on dimly with the sidelights  :smiley:

It may not be a problem with your lights then not too sure, it's a very simple fix if it is though  :smiley:

I'll keep my eyes peeled for you, you tried scouting eBay for CL's that are being broken?  :wink:

Cool, well you must have done it properly, and you have projectors lenses don't you?.. just had a car with aftermarket HIDs follow me and was lighting up the whole town, standard lenses, no beam pattern, bad colour and too high.... loads around like that now!
