shawdreamer Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 noooooo please don't do that! my head screams that too....but for some reason my heart says "go on ya nobba it'll be a laff"......my hearts has a socailization problem as you can see Not for me. With a bit of work, it will like a decent RS, why make it look like an LX Ive never seen a two tone LX? Looking good! Not keen on the two tone... But your the one driving it! Is it back on the road yet? booked in this Saturday morning at my mates place as all the mechanical issues are now sorted, it'll be taxed staright after it passes (yes Im that dam confident) Its getting there, and i think the two-tone will work well with the wolfrace alloys. see.... someone doe's have the same vision of the paint scheme.....least I know I wont be the only insane one. Just read the whole thread and cars coming on great mate! Did you use rattle cans on the bonnet? aye, absolute animal to pull off a decent finish with rattles but the trick is to literally heat the cans till there so hot you need a rag to hold em......oh and a little luck that stops the cans over pressurizing from the heat and popping in your hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can see coming up is the emissions... it struggled last time. Although a new Bosch Lamba just scraped it through.But then the crap in the exhaust causing some of the issue would have cleared by now surely.

KNITERIDER Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 how you turn the rear foglight on then? dont wanna be putting it on by accident lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithyandco Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 how you turn the rear foglight on then? dont wanna be putting it on by accident lolThought it was the same switch tbh...Turns off automatically (mechanically) when you turn your headlights off. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/21705.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Turn it once and it'l put front fogs on (if you have them), turn it again and rear fog will come on. If you only have rear fog, it'l only turn once. But this only works when your headlights are on. You have to use your finger and thumb as that bit of the stalk turns on its own if you get me Edited October 8, 2009 by adi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
