I dont need any more ideas my list of stuff to do is getting silly now  :grin:    :evil:

yeah you do  :tongue:

i thought my list was getting smaller but i'm spending too much time on the forums and getting silly ideas about r32 steering wheels and Anni wheels  :sad:

Just think how nice those anni wheels would look with the excellent indigo colour!! :afro:
He knows he wants to ;)

sod off both of you!!  :angry: it won't stop with the wheels cos then i'd new suspension to lower it otherwise it will look like a 4x4  :sad:

Can i recommend eibach sir lol  :grin:

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyhoo - it won't happen - need a new clutch - if i don't get that it won't matter having the best wheels on the best colour car with good suspension cos it will be sat doing nothing with a shattered clutch / flywheel and god knows what else!!

Very true mate. But if you get the clutch done cheaper by you mate just think where that spare cash could go  :lipsrsealed:

don't get your knickers in a twist sunny  :tongue:

here's a quick run down

passenger side - slide a metal ruler down one side and pop the vent out

Middle - remove all the switches underneath the vents, then pop the vents off the hinges - push towards the side; undo the two screws at the back and remove the surround

Drivers - push and turn the headlight switch to 12o'clock and pull towards you and unclip the wiring.  think there is a screw located behind the switch there and or behind the vent part itself

Fitting the new ones is easy - if you've got the loom i'd suggest running that before putting in the new vents - run the loom across the top of the glovebox to the middle and then from the middle underneath the steering wheel and splice into the blue/grey wire in the headlight switch
