i've always used the philips xtreme power and i've found them to be excellent. I cant justify the £45 they're charging for their new version though, the xtreme vision. I am tempted to try the NB+'s though, I reckon they'll be similiar to the xtreme power but a wee bit cheaper. I'll be sure to...

you need to be careful when joining dissimilar metals, any moisture will induce corrosion in the more basic metal. I'm guessing this would be particularly the case with aluminium and SS as they're is quite a separation in the galvanic series. Obviously this can be done as loads of cars have...

perhaps autoglym paint renovator with a rotary polisher? cutting action of the paste might dislodge the paper?

Has anyone ever had any experience with driving lights fitted to their car (e.g. like the kind you used to find on rally cars?). How much of a difference did it make? Was it normal halogen bulbs, hids or led bulbs? Is there any law governing there use on road?

lol ah ha! i see, i just think they chance that you wont bother looking up a new qoute!

Thanks T9! It was so good to get them to drop their qoute by £380 by just by going on their website rather than just accept their renewal qoute. Also I've never commented on your thread but amazing car! Also being a composite engineer nice carbon fibre work lol! :amuse:

how do you mean?

Got the dreaded renewal qoute in the post... £881 :( Up £180 since last year! :blink: Went onto the same company's website and was qouted £495! :blink::blink: Not complaining! Saved £386 :P

after much googling i've found that the D series was a mechanical linkage whereas the SM series is hydraulic lol :amuse:

Haha! it has been a long long time mate since i've been on! busy finishing my degree (that was horrible few months), moved to Bristol and nearly finished my first year of my PhD. Its the first chance i've had to settle down and get back on the forum! Thats good you got it all done. Is there...

yeah the old ds, that was a mechanical linkage lol yeah i've seen the mercedes and indeed the fog lights dont rotate but this set from hella do, I know its not really a necessity but I thought it was a nice touch, I like having bang up to date technology in smaller cars, especially when its...

Hi everyone :cheesy: I've been looking at a few cars (started saving) and been looking on the Ford website to see what optional extras some of the cars have so I can look out for them on used cars. noticed that the focus had as an option was adaptive headlights that turn as you corner so the...

Hi and welcome! What waynne and T9 said is correct you're absolutely fine :blink1: I have LEDs in my sidelights of my focus and have had for years and are fine. What T9 said of the LEDs needing a tuny current is true, I also have a LED bulb in my interior light and there is always a faint glow...

hi mate, how is that carputer going lol? i presume its all up and running now?

i know it doesnt meet the awd consideration but what about the Ford Focus RS, it ticks all the other boxes and puts out 305 bhp as standard. I'm sure with a remap, decent intake and exhaust the power could be boosted quite a bit.
