yea the seats came with it, i think they are cool. the trim isnt very good tho. to do the clear indicator lens, you need to smash out the orange insert and use them bulbs that are silver but flash orange, ive just put some smoked repeaters on today. ill post pics soon
-
Hey, the clear front indicators, I was thinking about doing them for a long time and recently bought some of the crome coated bulbs.
Could you tell me how the hell you managed to smash out all of the orange filter?
-
if you look into the light unit from the back you can see the orange insert. i think i used a screwdriver and some long nosed pliers. you have to be carefull not do do any dammage. the slots that hold the bulb holder took a bit of a beating but it all works fine. ill post some pics friday nite so you can see how good it looks. the silver bulbs are a must because if you have orange ones it looks the same as before.
happy smashing :x

here are some new pics for ya
a close up of the front indicator converted to clear with silver / orange bulbs
side repeators from motor world

Looking good dude 8)
-
mate you have the actuall code or car the side repeaters were for as went down before for some and could find nothing to fit. the baby
-
i want some too, is there any way of not smashing the orange bit out of the indicator tho?
-
ive been on the site for motorworld and i think they are these, they show them in green. mine are smoked. i cant see any dimensions on the site but the description sounds the same.

as for the front, there is a way of getting the clear lens off, (ive seen it on mx3.com.) then you pull out the orange bit. i had a spare set so i went for it.
hope that helps
-
and also. you dont need silver bulbs with these smoked side lenses i left in the orange ones suplied.
-
whack them in the oven! Thats what I did, worked a treat, my bro told me about it from club323f forum.
BUT BEWARE he totally trashed 2 of his by over heating them then they got a little bit twisty! So maybe smashing out the orange is easier/safer…
-
it worked for me 8)
-
just a pic of my decat.
-
hese are the new wipers ive put on. take a close look… they are a new style that you get on newer cars
and ive hammerited my back box and put some 60mm collars over the rusty ends. the rear looked realy messy before
-
hummm idea there. paint back box. hummm colours???
-
well all that rain has made my new side repeaters fall off. i blasted home from work the other day (in the rain) and when i got home i noticed one side was hanging off and the other wasnt much better. i think this was because most of the surface area of the sticky back wasnt stuck to the wing. it only just covered the hole.
lesson learnt - dont fit repeaters that just cover the hole. im gonna look for some super sticky water proof double sided tape.
-
so i havnt updated in a whyle!
since the last post ive replaced all fo the discs and pads, front role bar links, backbox, 2 brake lines, belts and water pump.
ive also found some extractor pipe that is realy tuff and flexable, so i can move the air filter away from the engine to get a cooler feed. i have romoved the "L" shape tube and blanked it off with a metal disc that i machined out of aluminum.
i got some custom plates from a stand at a motor show ages ago. they cleaned the car up as the old ones were tatty.time for some new wheels! :twisted:
-
Looking damn good mate.
Like the idea about the aluminium blanking plate, might have to give it a go.
-
hey mutsnuts, i made 2 of them blankers. you can have the other if you want. we should meet up some time since we are both in hampshire. that pic is at the back of butser hill, i went for a blast today!
