[Tonto]

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 hopefully match nicely!

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...

[Rusty2009]

I found on mine the K&N does make it feel alot better could be due to it not restricting as much air.

[Tonto]

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

[Rusty2009]

I've got a pedal on mine.

[Tonto]

The pedal box? May see about them as I've heard good things, where is best to get them from mate?

[Rusty2009]

Lewis has one for sale in the for sale section mate.

[Tonto]

Damn wish I had the cash, only £90...

[Tonto]

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.

[Rusty2009]

PCD needs to be 5x115 mate.

There is a thread here which should help you too.

[Tonto]

Ah thank you mate, that's excellent.

Sorry what does PCD mean?

[Rusty2009]

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]

Ah right, I did not have a clue about that!

Thanks again mate!

[dutton84]

How much did you pay for the smoke repeaters? They look loads better

[Tonto]

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

[dutton84]

Cool. I'll have a look tomorrow.

Lush lighting from ebay ?


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

[Tonto]

Ah no, from a seller called aply20.

[DE5IRED]

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 lol

[Tonto]

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

[DE5IRED]

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

Ah fair enough then that is bad! I need to repair a few stone chips though :/

[Tonto]

Picked up Number plate LEDs today, do they look correct as on photo the resistors look different...

[WhelanUK]

The set up looks the same but the resistors look slightly different. Get them fitted!

[Tonto]

I did mate and no problems at all

[DE5IRED]

[tucpal]

excellent work and well worth the Waite

[Tonto]

Thanks mate, think next up in rear windows tinted

[dutton84]

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.

[Tonto]

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

[Rusty2009]

Coming along nicely mate.

here's mine with LED number plate lights.

[Tonto]

Oh nice mate, not sure if you have better LEDs or just shows more against a black car, looks great either way!

[sheppy1]

Do you have a link to the ones you bought @tonto? They look good btw!

[tucpal]

[Tonto]

LED LICENSE NUMBER PLATE LIGHT VAUXHALL OPEL CORSA C D ASTRA H J INSIGNIA VECTRA

[Tonto]

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.
