Thankyou, loving every minute of it so far! :laugh: What you planning for yours man? haha, Yeah something i really wanted to try and get is a low mileage car i didn't mind spending a little more, gives me a bit of peace of mind!

I've already done a lot. Planning retrofit OEM DAB ariel adapter and bluetooth or MDI. Also bigger brakes. More sound deadening. replace all bushes and shocks.

sounds good to me! i am thinking of DAB + New HeadUnit and some bigger brakes later on in the year, so many things to upgrade and buy!

I managed to get a few snaps of the car and the Front Grille at the weekend, Currently have the number plate cable tied to the lower grille, looks a lot more aggressive without the front number plate!
One of the Engine bay Looking to get some black cap lids for the coolant and washer bottle get rid of the blue. Also an audi R8 Oil cap.

The valeo's arrived today as well... :grin: :drool: :laugh: :jumping:
These will be fitted as soon as possible, more pictures to follow!

Valeo Rear Lights have been fitted.. i cannot believe how much better they look than the red originals! i am in love with them, the red outers are like a deep cherry red which really compliment the white centres! :jumping:
fitting was pretty simple, Some of the Bolts are a little difficult to get to when removing the old lights, but the whole job took less than an hour. :drinking:
One Light removed, i gave it a quick clean ready for the new ones to fit in. to remove: There are 2 Nut/bolts which are underneath the boot lining on each side, Unclip the wiring loom and the lights come free! the boot Lid Lights are a little harder, we ended up un-clipping the boot Trim so that a wrench could get to the Nuts that were in a tricky space!
A comparison to the original lights (Left) and Valeo's (Right) still with plastic coating on! :ashamed:
Both fitted, i couldn't be happier with them.

will look even better if you swap that red fog lens for a nice clear one.. I've done this on mine. Lack of symmetry makes me itch!! lol
