The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

Nice intercooler

Until you try and install it

Oh yeah, getting the stock one out is almost as much of a b1tch as removing that bloody cover over the interior dome lights

Haha, sore fingers? The trick I found was to pull the side nearest to you and. Leathery fingertips help, from all the DIY wounds over the years. I have a bruised hand today, which i don't think I've ever had before Not for not trying of course, I just didn't think they bruised. Apparently they do, along with my torso etc

Good roads up near you too. I remember there's one on the route from Brid to Whitby, or Whitby to "ooop norf", where there's a straight and the road appears to fall off into nowhere. I remember driving along and having to put my brakes on, in fear of what lay beyond. When I realised though it was full beans and a big grin

If my fingers could speak, there would be non stop expletives

All done though, for the cost of a tenner

Since they needed replacing, I went for a different colour



What ya reckon?

[Magic Beans]

I wasn't expecting red. Although thinking about it, along with your username..

They look great! They look plenty bright enough.

Cheers mate, I stupidly looked at them with out the lenses fitted and blinded myself for an hour.

They're pretty bright.

[Magic Beans]

Evil buggers aren't they! I think I've lost the ability to see at least three colours since fitting mine

Even after I'd regained my vision, I saw red stars everywhere for the next 5 hours

[Magic Beans]

Sods law, we'll get these cars exactly where we want them. However will go blind in the process. Skin loss is a big part

Some things installed, some things arriving today. Much goodness ahoy

Updates later

[Magic Beans]

Well, less arrived than I'd hoped, however the main thing is that the emblem arrived and is mounted. So are the plates

I popped up to see one of the fantastic affiliates on here and collected a shiny new MK3 emblem in blue


The leg positions on the MK3 differ from those on the MK2, as you'd expect. So a few minutes with a scalpel had the upper leg off and ready for repositioning.


Measured up, the hole could cut trimmed in the adhesive surface


A drop of super glue and some careful positioning and it's perfectly lined up.


This is how it looked before


New plates, new emblem and it's looking pretty sharp Excuse the external salt leach on the bricks to the left


That's not missed polish, it's next door's aerial! haha


Rear plate swapped over. Still think the exhaust needs to be a twin


New IC in place, new clamps. Replacing the vac hoses is next one the list


All in all I'm really pleased with how much the additions at the front end have transformed the look. As we all say, it's all about the details


More to come, next week when the postie comes

[craig]

Awesome car mate! Plates and badge improve it no end!

I think that exhaust looks awesome, I'd leave it. The rear fog light, however....

You thought about re-wiring into the rear lights?
