Vitor Monteiro Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 So glad they are on, they look great :) One needs a bit of damage sorted and I need to get a centrecap for one of them, but all in all quite happy with them: Hi, Nice job with the car ;) I don't know if you pay attention to this, but after you changed the wheels, did you noticed any alteration in fuel consumption or ride confort?

Not at all if I'm honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ryan Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Richbrook Ford Aerial fitted, looks so much better for such a subbtle and small mod :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 why not do what i did and use the exterior vinyl carbon wrap on the wheel centres easy to do cheaper than buying them and you can remove it any time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Richbrook Ford Aerial fitted, looks so much better for such a subbtle and small mod :) How do you find your radio reception now? I bought one of those aerials months ago but was put off fitting it as I'd heard reports of crap signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ryan Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 why not do what i did and use the exterior vinyl carbon wrap on the wheel centres easy to do cheaper than buying them and you can remove it any time Quite like the idea of that, although I'm missing the actual centre off one wheel. How do you find your radio reception now? I bought one of those aerials months ago but was put off fitting it as I'd heard reports of crap signal. Fine mate, no problems at all to be honest.

Brigante Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 These arrived today: Will be fitting them tomorrow in the daylight :) Be interested to see the results of these mate. Was torn between these and the osrams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ryan Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 I will put up some pictures of the bulbs and you can have a look when I fit them. Also this arrived today: I want to do the bonnet lip in this carbon fibre wrap so will have a look through the threads this evening, I'm thinking of attempting to wrap something small around the house first as a practice, not too good with this kind of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It's easy enough to do mate. The lip should definitely be easy enough. Just keep the wrap warm n take your time. Don't rush it. What else you planning on wrapping with all that lot lol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ryan Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Erm bonnet lip them I may find something in the interior to do, may also do my iPhone :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Lol would you wanna give the stereo surround etc a go like I've done? How much did you pay for that massive roll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ryan Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Lol would you wanna give the stereo surround etc a go like I've done? How much did you pay for that massive roll? I would do yea, is it tricky to remove? Erm £4 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I believe yours pretty much pops straight off mate if you put a flat blade screwdriver down the edge or summin. With mine though I have to remove the stereo first. Still an easy job though mate. 4quids a bargain for all that lot. You've seen everything I've wrapped ain't you?

Stoney871 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The fascia is easy to remove. Take out the radio, two screws and pull the fascia out from the top first. At the bottom there are clips around the heater dials, just keep pulling and they'll come out easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, flat blade screwdriver wrapped in tape down the edge or under the bottom n it'll pop straight off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Soz. I'm on my phone so can't see his vehicle model. Yep. 2.5 you start from the hazard light button and work around the fascia with a flat tool. 4 screws to remove the radio if you ever need to.

Brigante Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Here it is: Bit messy in places but it'll do for now. I plan to get it all hydro dipped at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Do it mate. It's easy enough. The big roll you got should be plenty enough to do all that plus your bonnet lip n have some left over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ryan Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 The roll isn't that big, only 127cm x 30cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Ah thought it looked quite big. The roll I got was 8 quid and I've still got a fair bit left after doing everything I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ryan Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Fitted the new bulbs, they certainly don't look as white/blue as the MTEC's, but still bright. Will be lining the bulbs up later on in the dark where I can test them properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
