Assembled after re painting the brackets and obtaining larger thread screws etc.


Going to clean up the glass and buy some heat shrink to finish the hi beam splitters then its into the car

Lights look decent. Still playing about with ones I bought. But quickly get fed up playing about with crappy plastic bits that snap with the slightest bit of force.

Might have to go with the aftermarket inpros and hids and no corrado light bits at all. Winter lights ftw.

Can hide the weird ness of clear glass and corrado reflector with the tinted light covers. But starts looking a bit naff to me

I'm not as happy as I would like as the bracket wouldn't sit flush and the adjustment is stupidly fiddly and I'm unsure how many potholes ill hit before needing to adjust again. But we will see.

Will make up the other tomorrow and see if I can route the harness ok. Then ill fire em up I guess.

On another note I still don't have a gear display

Right put if back together again. Can't beleive how different if drives! Shrek saved the day as usual as its so fiddly it's ridiculous.

So got bummed in daylight for a new trumpet that I broke removing it lol

Oops:



Brand new OEM replacement


Decided to replace O-rings as well to ensure it was nice and airtight and maintained properly. Turns out the old ones where brittle and probably not doing a great job. Good for another 98k then:


Some of you have been asking to see the engine bay since the respray (which I didn't get painted) so here it is:

All back together:

Not had the tin top off since the respray, today was literally the first drop of sun for us in the South so I took it off for 5mins just to sneak a peek!

The fabric roof isn't working though so had to put it back on and no top down driving as the tonneau cover won't shut 100% joys of 15year old car ownership!

Thanks chaps. I do plan to paint it, as its not in great condition with lots of tiny bits of surface rust. But if I do I doubt it will be red.

I want to paint it like this:
