jeebowhite Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Another bit for my car ordered and on the way. Steeda short shift bracket from Collins Performance. £89 inc p&p. Must admit I am impressed at the number of mods for a car that hasn't left it's warranty period. Does that worry you in the slightest Clive?

jeebowhite Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Thought that would probably be the reason. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Aye, I'm not kicking the hole out of it, just a couple of small tweaks to make it mine but nothing that isn't fully reversible in short order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yeah but then short shift shouldn't really affect any warranty lol Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 I was exceptionally lucky though. What are the odds of someone cancelling their order for a car in my exact specs? Their loss is my gain :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 11 weeks !!!! Is that just from order with no build or delivery? Are u waiting for petrol or diesel? 11 weeks since order waiting for a petrol St3. Due to be built around end of Sept assuming it hasn't been delayed. Clive got very lucky, lol.

alexp999 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Have you done any colour matching with bulbs on the car? I want to change the puddle lights for LEDs but not sure whether I'll need 4000k or 6000k. I want it to look oem ideally and match the interior LEDs and number plate light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 I changed the reverse bulbs to hybrid led/cree so they are nice and bright but still fill the lens rather than just having the cree by themselves which are a bit too direct. I changed the cornering bulbs to Osram cool blue intense so they are a lot closer in colour to the Zenons. Changed all indicator bulbs to Silvatec type. Haven't changed the puddle lights yet but may do in the coming weeks as the standard ones are very weak and yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianb Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Gosh, reading all these changes, makes me feel like I should really get onto the focus and do a bit of tlc, alterations etc. The money side of things is minuscule with most bulbs, it's just time and weather that's a right pain at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
