Ah right yeah that where I got them from, when they arrived the resistors were different from pic but work perfectly fine
RE: tonto,s progress - sheppy1 - 3:rd-May-2015
Okie dokie cheers, just that I did find some cheaper ones on eBay which had different looking resistors (similar to yours) so thought you'd gone for the cheaper ones
tonto,s progress - Tonto - 3:rd-May-2015
Ah right, no the ones that were recommended. Just maybe newer resistors or something... I don't know haha!
tonto,s progress - Tonto - 7:th-May-2015

can't wait till I get time to fit them!!![[Image: 7FE69350-BBF0-4985-9404-B5A860627C46_zpseilrfaiv.jpg]](http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/tonyblake1/media/Mobile%20Uploads/7FE69350-BBF0-4985-9404-B5A860627C46_zpseilrfaiv.jpg.html)

tonto,s progress - Tonto - 8:th-May-2015
Definitely mate, I'm really looking forward to having a go! Just hope I don't get stuck as I'll be knackered, no one close up here lol!
RE: tonto,s progress - sheppy1 - 8:th-May-2015
Hahaha I was thinking the same thing when I was doing it! Especially as I was doing it outside in the rain which was getting heaver and heavier :/ haha
tonto,s progress - Tonto - 8:th-May-2015
Haha well I live up North and it nearly always rains hahahaha! For the black box did you just use the sticky pad to keep it in place? Same as the speaker?
RE: tonto,s progress - sheppy1 - 8:th-May-2015
Haha we just work around it don't we! And sure did dude
just stuck it to the inside of the cubby hole on a rounded metal frame... Stuck nicely and looks good will try and get a photo later
tonto,s progress - Tonto - 8:th-May-2015
We have to hahaha, excellent thanks mate. I noticed it has 2 holes for screws so wasn't sure if you had screwed it in!

Ah right never mind mate
How do I start a new thread?? Can't seem to find it.
tonto,s progress - sheppy1 - 8:th-May-2015
You have to navigate to the exact part of the forum you want to post in and not the subscribed section if you know what I mean..
tonto,s progress - Tonto - 8:th-May-2015
Thanks mate, got there in the end
tonto,s progress - Tonto - 26:th-May-2015

I added a connector from the pack they came in so if I have to remove glove box I just I clip the led and it's easily removed
tonto,s progress - Rusty2009 - 26:th-May-2015
Got a video of them lifting up and down mate lol.
Very nice mate, I too added a connector to mine after the wires got ripped off the LED panel.

tonto,s progress - Tonto - 3:rd-Jun-2015
Yeah
really mind boggled as I haven't changed anything.
RE: tonto,s progress - Rusty2009 - 3:rd-Jun-2015
Glad they are working mate it is a strange one that.
RE: tonto,s progress - sheppy1 - 3:rd-Jun-2015
How very odd! Pretty long saga that but well played on getting them sorted [WHITE SMILING FACE] hope the tutorial I did was of some use to you too
tonto,s progress - Tonto - 3:rd-Jun-2015
Tutorial was perfect mate, just my sensors being temperamental ha. Don't get the 2m distance even with adj on max but far enough!

Alloy sports pedals which look so much better than originals.

They are a very goog upgrade
tonto,s progress - dutton84 - 10:th-Jun-2015
I've just recently got them pedals. Paid £45 brand new on eBay. They look so much better.
How much was the touch up pencil?

tonto,s progress - Tonto - 10:th-Jun-2015
I paid £43 for second hand haha! The touch up paint was only £7.14 and you get the lacquer as well.

Think I got lucky though.... Well I know I did. I was looking for a good few months and all the 2nd hand sets go for between £35-£45
So you haven't over paid really.

Just found one for my colour
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=141570923224&globalID=EBAY-GB
Think mine is black sapphire or is it carbon flash.... Ha.
I've got quite a lot of chips on mine

Apparently the pre face lifts are black sapphire and post are carbon flash.

Ahh, yeah if ever unsure just inside frame of passenger door has paint code
Hopefully it works well enough! White is a nightmare for chips..

RE: tonto,s progress - Rusty2009 - 11:th-Jun-2015
Looking good mate.
pre-facelift is black sapphire (code 20/GAR) and face-lifts are carbon flash (code 22C/GAR). Look on your door sticker it should give you the paint code
RE: tonto,s progress - Lewis6317 - 11:th-Jun-2015
@dutton84 if you need touch up pens I got a set you can have. Just pay postage and its yours unless I see you a a meet soon?
tonto,s progress - dutton84 - 11:th-Jun-2015
Cheers. That would be good of you but I don't mind paying more than postage
