So, a little update...

I've never been too happy with my rear lights as they were pretty sketchy. It sometime didnt look like my lights were on, this is why I still had the OEM wing on as it has an obvious brake light.

I got a new job in December so because of this I got a pay and a half meaning I could finally buy a few bits!

Contacted Jesse Streeter and got me the fully smoked LED Dmax lights, Dmax Roof wing and Dmax boot wing.
So literally less then a week after paying for everything a box full of awesome turned up!



Opened it up...



Yey! The third wing was Mints wing, his christmas present. :)

Last week decided to fit them with Fruit and my Dad. It of course wasn't 100% straight forward, the plugs didnt really fit properly. The LED's would flicker so it seemed the connection was loose.



So we decided to cut off the plugs and soulder (sp?) them together...




So after that bit of faff and my dad being very useful at souldering we got it finished and I really do like them.






I will be getting the wings painted in the next couple of weeks so I will be able to put them on soon to.

Also been slowly saving for wheels to and I'm halfway, yey! So hopefully wont be too long until I get them! The ones I want aren't ridiculously expensive thank christ. haha.

^_^

I


They look like this...







So they are super shiny and lovely!! I dont plan on putting them on anytime soon as the weather is so balls. Need to wait until the snow and crap goes... see how long that is.

I also just got back my boot and roof wings back from Stevie B who painted them, did an amazing job!!



Just need to take off the old wing, fill in the holes and put them on! Dunno how to fill the holes in yet as you guys know what im like, I like clean clean clean.
Then I will be happy for awhile :)

However draw back is that I was in hospital on Friday and I have Bells Palsey so i cant drive as I cant see right now and the left side of my face is paralysed. Signed off work, so far for two weeks then they are gonna see if I can see! Excuse the no make up face, its too hard to do my make up right now.



Just paid for my tax as well... Going to have to Mint to drive it every so often so it keeps going happily.
