So this morning, I've just bought:
- black Angel Eyes
- a debadged mesh grill
- and a pair of black side repeaters.

Liking the sound of this! 8)

Updates:

Sadly, they weren't my coilovers sitting at the post office- boo  :sad: so still waiting for them to be delivered! (Thanks to all these bank holidays we're getting  :rolleyes: )

Good news is that I'm getting my wheels sprayed as I speak by the best ever neighbour- he used to be a panel beater so is very good at spraying etc, along with everything else, and does it as a favour rather than charging £50+ per wheel! Wheels should be done today/tomorrow- seen one finished- and MINT is not the word! Have got photos but I don't want to spoil it until they're sat on my car :) well maybe I will when they're all done  :wink:

Also, I'm sure you all will love this, but I have decided to get rid of the tacky tinted rear lights- if they were more mirror-like and glossy which is how I had planned them, I may have kept them on, but my attempt of spraying them just doesn't do my car justice. Plus, what with putting red in my wheels I think it will all come together better if there's red in the rear lights too. I'm planning on getting half smoked crystal rear lights :) and at £70 for the pair- don't think this is too shabby at all!

Some people won't say this is 'murder' but I'm making this my own and unique.

Better that way anyway.

Setting out to make a car fit directly into one category and one category only is fail.

My black angel eyes turned up today along with the smoked side repeaters.. Haven't a clue where my coilovers have got to?!  :undecided: Anyway, I was going to fit my angel eyes tonight but I think it's a bumper off job so thought I'd best save it for the light.

Wheels are looking pretty mint tbh. Pretty chuffed how they've turned out- wasn't sure what I wanted was going to work out but it really has! Just need to buy some adapters so I can actually get them on my car! Should be getting them tomorrow night and there will be photos- I just can't hold back  :rolleyes:

Kbye for now!

Angel eyes were fitted last night (y)
Not 100% working though :/ something to do with the wiring.. Dipped lights are working perfectly, along with fogs and when I flash but on drivers side, when I put main beam on, the indicator light stays on rather than main beam light going on, but other side works perfectly.. I've had a few issues with the same indicator though.. Looks like I'll have to replace the bit inside the stalk because the connection's dodgy. Don't know if this is causing the problem with the angel eyes or not? If any one knows, please let me know.

I'm in 2 minds about the wheels, my head says they shouldn't work but I think they will probably look awesome when on! :grin:
