So what was causing it to cut out?

 

to be honest i have not got a clue . . . not long finished work when he came round . . . it wasnt the mechanic that dropped it off either . . . the guy said something about plugging a hose with a screw :/ . . . i'm phoning the garage tommorrow to check up on my manifold status so i will ask the actual boy then . . . mechanic is called doug . . .you can always trust a person called doug :/ . . . lol

crazy woman :)

 

so ive been told . . . im unsure about the legality of the purple but i though if i can't get away with the spray i could use mirrored film . . . had an apiphany whilst in thermo fluids class HA! . . .

 

also unsure about the white now too . . . might go for gloss black or colour code . . . got 3 broken lights to try out ideas on . . . will see what goes on in the garage this weekend lol

I think the "got blue dipped beams" will be a hint as to its legality!

 

aye well white/blue . . . not the shady solid blue ones you had when you were 17 ha ha ha . . . they are the proper brightness ect lol . . .

 

I reckon that lights will be legal enough, providing its not changing the emmited light colour or buggering up the beam pattern it'll be fine

Look smart though :)

 

Cat looks impressed at the lights too :ninja:

 

aye the cats a terrorist lol

 

yeah well the purple spray has a metallic flake through it you cant see very well in the pics . . . seems reflective enough though . . . its a old light thats melted at the back (came witht the car in a box lol) . . . going to see if i can get it working temporarily for a wee test check . . . im lacking in motivation just now though lol
