Irish mk5
Irish_Mk5:
So since my last post my progress on this has done a complete 360…
Had the NCT (that’s MOT to some of you) and almost passed with flying colours. Having specifically replaced my bulbs with road legal Osrams I was dissapointed to find out they had failed the headlight alignment test.
Brought it to the garage and they said the beam pattern was just a big smudge.
They went ahead and swapped out the bulbs without consulting me- so I had to pay for another set of bulbs even though I had the originals sitting at home.
Got the retest done no problem, and quickly went about putting my osrams back in.
I took the opportunity to get the headlights restored too. One of them had very bad corrosion patches which have been removed completely now! :)

As for my Srs Tec spoiler extension - I did a lazy paint job on it that I wasn’t happy with. It looked crap in comparison to the car.
I went to fit it anyway but only after trying to stick it I realised that the figment was indeed a load of sh*t.
So it’s now sitting unused and I don’t know what to do with it.
Very disappointed given the cost of it, so I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Don’t know how Srs Tec can get away with such scrap.
Had a bit of a headache with the car the last while too. Flat tyres, pressure warnings, oil warnings… it all happens at once.
But I’ve given it some TLC and gotten it all sorted now and have convinced myself there is no need to sell just yet :P

Get some pictures up dude! Always eager to see other Irish ones :happy2:
I do have the link:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254129990386
Funnily enough I was going to buy it off a seller who claimed it was genuine. When I asked for proof he sent me this link.
Considering he was asking the same price, I went for the one on eBay instead ha

Haven’t updated this in a while…. Mainly because nothing has changed.
Ended up selling the srs-tec spoiler to a member on here in the end.
Had to do some repairs on the old brakes so ended up doing a little upgrade while I was at it! New Brenna drilled disks and pads all round :)

Is that the car wash on the Malahide Road? I'm just in Bayside myself :happy2:
