Finally got my backbox back on and it's looking shiny! Have it a good polish whilst it was off:


Went and picked up £60 worth of goodies for the wheel refurb which will start tonight! So keep your eyeballs peeled guys

It has finally happened, my car has some alloys! Spent the past few days giving them a quick refurb, just as a temporary cover as before they weren't even one colour. So here's some quick pictures:

All sanded down and filled


Primered

And finished:


The paint is called BMW sparkling graphite. And in the sun the sparkle is great. The overall paint job isn't perfect, few marks here and there but better than before. And fitted:

Did you ever hear anything about your stolen B?

[Westley]

Nah, never heard a single word. Last time that was mentioned was the day the police came out to my house the day after it was stolen

Didn't think I'd like them tbh but they look spot on fitted

You should do the trim in the same colour

[Westley]

Thanks! Yeah I love them! There's the odd scuff and what not due to tyre fitters and crap paint job from before, but they're 100x better than before and I'm happy I bet once the cars lowered and the tears are spaced out a bit to fill the arch a bit more they'll be spot on

Oh! And I have actually thought about colouring the arches the same colour already xD but I'm unsure

So, I've been struggling to decide on what splitter to get for some time now, at first o never really liked the irmscher splitter, but after seeing it on a few lowered cars it's really starting to take my fancy. What do you all think?



But I'd keep the front plastic black and eventually try and get a hold of the SRi lower grille which will match the steinmetz grill, but it is hard to come by

Need help guys, so I got hids with my headlights when I bought them.
I fitted them to find one of the ballasts was messed up, so got a set of ballasts from my friend who didn't need them anymore fitted them and then noticed the bulbs were different colours! So ordered a set of 6k hid bulbs, fitted them and I was happy, until I noticed they were flickering how a candle would, one worse than the other! So I bought a harness, as it was apparently a power issue, got all that fitted today, and now one of them has stopped but the other which was worse is still doing it, so to check everything else was fine I switched the bulbs over and the same one is still flickering! Could it be a dodgey bulb? I've contacted the seller so should hopefully get a replacement, if not, any suggestions?

My HIDs were strobing when I changed gear into reverse, I guy off the vectra-c forum used opcom to 'activate xenons' and sorted the problem. Not sure about the Corsa C...

If you go onto this link and watch the second video that's what they're doing [emoji31]

Corsa c use can bus system the ampage you need
To power the ballast up is not always met as
Can bus uses less this can mess up the ballasts

[Barraclough]

Are you getting any bulb warning lights on the dash?

[Westley]

Not getting any lights on the dash, they do work and they are bright, but the flickering is really disttacting'
