New side lights (they are massive)



Hids ready to go in


Debadged the rear and sides today



All comments welcome

Fitted the hids but they look like this... they are supposed to be 35w 5000k. One is brighter than the other and one is whiter than the other. Think there is something wrong with the balasts?

Car looks well mate seen a couple of them this past while and they look really smart with just a couple of mods, what's the briskoda badge though?

I had the same problem with my 8k hids, but when I fitted my 4k bulbs they were the same brightness so I'd say it's the bulbs

Wish I got a vrs but insurance wouldnt allow it but this will do I suppose erm, well the sticker.... its not another forum I promise aha!

Oh right! I had the same problem on my corsa with these ballasts I have so ill ask a lad at work if I can try his and see whats what. I have messaged the seller to see if he will send me a replacement

Vrs rep it mate but in all its getting there mate I have 55w in mine and one has a slight flicker

I would but its not worth it.. id rather wait and get one when I can afford it

Fair point mate lol gotta admit vrs are nice cars a guy by me has the octavia vrs

Hello everyone! Not been on here in ages [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] nothing has changed with the car other than headgasket went, both front wheel bearings were f**k and a few bushes so just the norm... aha now the little one is nearly a year old its time for a bigger car and im thinking about going to look at this: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... 4303073635
What should i look out for when looking at it? Been a while since looking at a vauxhall.

Defo go for a veccy!

Veccy c is a very good car, generally the body's don't rust since there galvanised from factory

The 2.0 dti is (I think) a direct injection chain driven motor, if it's common rail then that's something to worry about same as all common rail diesels the pumps tend to fail and cost ££££'s to replace and recode, frequent diesel filter changes and good quality diesel(or as good a quality that's possibly with a sub par fuel) help them last a good while


All in all, there quality cars and I was looking for one before the mondeo came up cheap, it's black so that instantly makes it cool

Dont go for the 1.9 cdti as they are fiat engines as well as 6 speed boxes

The 1.9 Sri 120 brake is there most reliable diesel engine,

Tbf Fiat aren't as bad designing engines as the serotype would have you belive, bar there first attempt at the 1.3 diesel in the corsa c they haven't made a terribly unreliable engine they've even sorted out the 1.3 since and it's a fantastic engine

Compared to vdubs attempts at reliable diesels Fiat are doing a great job


Can't belive I'm fighting in Fiats corner [emoji38]

:Lol: neither can i and i own a fiat and a 6 speed which both engine and box dont have any problems

Hoping to go look at the one i put up some time next week
