What about doing the lower chrome trim body colour and keeping the chrome round the windows?

Will be there for the Sunday

Has anyone fitted these and if so can you post some pics so I see what they look like.

I thought it was only this lower part that was different on the r-line kit.

Reset the info for the mpg and see how that does then how long are your journeys?
Mines doing about 45mpg and I'm giving it a full service shortly and changing all the filters.

I'm just desperate to get them fitted so I can compare them against the Eibachs I had fitted to my saloon.

I fitted yellow tinted bulbs in my new fogs rather than putting a film on them.
I was looking at using lamin-x film on mine if I'd done them yellow.

Plus if they're off a '62 plate the most they can be is 6-8 months old as 62 plate is from Sept '12

Had a nice parcel arrive on Friday at my mates garage. A set of H&R lowering springs.
Just got too wait for him to have a ramp spare and my shifts to fall right so we can get them fitted.

I think you need an adaptor with a canbus adaptor as part of it or take the switched live from the cigarette lighter. Don't think it's anything to do with your ignition switch.

No there is no intermittent as such I have mine set right to the left and have made sure I've always kept the sensor area of the windscreen cleaned.

If yours is a sport model same as mine do you have auto headlights on it if so you probably have auto wipers too. This makes the first position on the wiper stalk the on for the auto and the switch on the top adjusts the sensitivity of the rain sensor on the screen.

I fitted Eibachs to my saloon and although pricey the ride quality was better than the original springs. I am going to be fitting H&R springs to my wagon in the next few weeks. I've heard mixed reviews on the FK springs in regards to ride quality at the end of the day the choice is yours if you ...

One of my front speakers has gone so I'm going to be changing them shortly. As I'll be fitting aftermarket speakers I've been told I need adapters to fit them. Where's the best place to get the adapters from?
All help and advice appreciated as usual.

It's not to hard a job to do. I did mine in my saloon no problems. I managed to get mine off a car that was breaking for spares but they do come up on ebay every so often.

You can't turn your fog lights on with the headlight switch in the Auto position. You need to have it either turned to the parking light or dip beam position. Yeah I noticed that while playing with the switch. My problem is when I put the switch to sidelights or headlights, then pull for fogs, the ...

Well as it's the first decent day that I've had off work since I got the car and the wife was at work and little lad had gone to grandmas I decided to give the car a treat and set too with the claybar and and then got some polish and wax on so here it is after a bit of TLC. http://i166.photobucket.c...

It goes across the top of your spare wheel to give added support to the carpeted part of the boot floor. Fits in little slots from the tool kit/jack towards the right side of the spare wheel well.

2.7bar fr and rr normal = 39psi

2.7bar fr and 2.9bar loaded

(2.9bar is 42psi)

That's for my standard 17's on my saloon.

My sport estate says 2.6 bar fr and rr normal for my standard 17s

You need the one with the part number ending with a C
Think there has been a thread about this recently.

Got mine off ebay they have a slight yellow tint but weren't that much compared to halfords

Don't leave the heated mirror switch in the on position all the time as if it does stay on it is the main contributing factor to the glass falling off s it makes the adhesive fail.

Cheers for quick reply do like the look of them on the front finish it off in my opinion.
Glad I got mine how I did as even seeing if I got them trade through my mate they are still about £80 including adapters and fittings

I've now confused myself I thought my fog grills were r-line ones but I've just been parked next to an r-line estate in town and it had the same grills as my old ones.
So are these r-line or R36 grills? Now wish I'd had a chance of a better look at the car I got them off.

Finally my new replacement foglights arrived this morning from the "UK" based seller, never knew Bulgaria was in the UK :-o So I've just frozen my bits off fitting them and my R-Line grills and think it totally transforms the look of the front end plus I've got properly functioning fogs ag...
