tonto,s progress - Tonto - 20:th-Apr-2015
Yeah I like how they are, wouldn't want to dark as I want to 'smoke' out my headlights or get the black projectors eventually

Finally got my K&N filter and just fitted it, obviously just a simple swap. Went for a little blast and I think I can see a difference but could all be in my head haha. Also been playing around with the traction control turned off and that seems to give me more power...

RE: tonto,s progress - Rusty2009 - 27:th-Apr-2015
I found on mine the K&N does make it feel alot better could be due to it not restricting as much air.
tonto,s progress - Tonto - 27:th-Apr-2015
Yeah definitely, feels smoother and nicer straight away! What would bet step be for the sort f performance side?
I've ordered number played LEDs and heko wind deflectors
RE: tonto,s progress - Rusty2009 - 27:th-Apr-2015
I've got a pedal on mine.
tonto,s progress - Tonto - 27:th-Apr-2015
The pedal box? May see about them as I've heard good things, where is best to get them from mate?
RE: tonto,s progress - Rusty2009 - 27:th-Apr-2015

RE: tonto,s progress - Tonto - 28:th-Apr-2015
Does anyone happen to know what size alloys and tyres I can get for my car? 2011 Astra J 2.0 cdti sri please? I've seen people with 19"s on but dont know if cars vary, any advice is appreciated
I'll be either looking at 18" or 19" if possible.
RE: tonto,s progress - Rusty2009 - 28:th-Apr-2015
PCD needs to be 5x115 mate.
There is a thread here which should help you too.

tonto,s progress - Tonto - 28:th-Apr-2015
Ah thank you mate, that's excellent.
Sorry what does PCD mean?
RE: tonto,s progress - Rusty2009 - 28:th-Apr-2015
pitch circle diameter.
The bolt circle is the notional circle determined by the positions of the bolts. The center of every bolt lies on the circumference of the bolt circle. The important measurement is the bolt circle diameter (BCD), also called the pitch circle diameter (PCD).
tonto,s progress - Tonto - 28:th-Apr-2015
Ah right, I did not have a clue about that!
Thanks again mate!
tonto,s progress - dutton84 - 28:th-Apr-2015
How much did you pay for the smoke repeaters? They look loads better

tonto,s progress - Tonto - 28:th-Apr-2015
I paid £21 incl postage off amazon mate, only afterwards I seen a couple for around £16 pound on eBay
Yeah they're so much better than the standard ones
tonto,s progress - dutton84 - 28:th-Apr-2015
Cool. I'll have a look tomorrow.

Ah no, from a seller called aply20.
tonto,s progress - DE5IRED - 29:th-Apr-2015
Oh right looks like Royal Mail aren't doing very good then lol I've had these blue bulbs in for ages but one has recently blown I think and when I originally got the led ones they were throwing up errors so fingers crossed these new ones won't give me no trouble.
Great progress with the car btw good to see it's the best colour also

I can't complain as me and Mrs were at work so I prefer them to hold it at depot as it's literally at bottom of the bank lol. I'm still to fit my new drls lol, a clip snapped and I was hesitant so left originals in for now
Thank you mate, yeah I love the colour too
tonto,s progress - DE5IRED - 29:th-Apr-2015
I only say that about Royal Mail as my wife was home and they said nobody was home lol and I say whites the best colour as it's the same as my gtc

RE: tonto,s progress - WhelanUK - 30:th-Apr-2015
The set up looks the same but the resistors look slightly different. Get them fitted!

Thanks mate, think next up in rear windows tinted
tonto,s progress - dutton84 - 30:th-Apr-2015
Nice. They're bright as hell!
With the side repeaters is there a difference between smoked crystal black and just smoked? Some look darker than others, mainly the ones that say crystal black.

Yeah they are haha, I'm not sure about the repeaters mate, will check which ones I bought..
I just got smoked repeaters, they look awesome though imo
RE: tonto,s progress - Rusty2009 - 1:st-May-2015

RE: tonto,s progress - Tonto - 3:rd-May-2015
Anyone know if the fog/indicator lights can be blacked out? not the glass, the reflector part inside? I'm thinking of possiby blacking out the headlights too. Think it will look good when i get the de badged black front top grille.
