Thanks Kav....so happy with the work and finish.

The drop and spacers work very well. Just what I needed to make them wheels really work on this car.

Glad to have it back to enjoy.....seeing as you had it for longer than I did lol!

Now I must stop talking to you for a few months as I have no money left for mods and I know you are a bad influence on my easily led nature!

Thanks guys.

Next on the list, not anytime soon though, I'm on the look out for an M5 steering wheel, M5 genuine mirrors and possibly something in the braking department as I will be needing to replace my discs and pads in the nearish future.

Any other comments/suggestions welcome.

Oh yeah I knew I forgot something....window tinting but I'll wait a while til I get that.

LaminX - I will want to see some examples of this done on dark cars to sway me.

I didn't look properly Singh....I'll take a look next time and see what I think.

Thats another bumper off job isn't it? Maybe we can do that when the foglight ballast gets fitted? Hang on I'm supposed to be done with the mods this side of Xmas!!

Thanks bro, one of my fave wheels too - great for the winter too as they are soo easy to clean!

Might be selling the wheels soon as I have potentially found a set of wheels I want. Would like to keep both sets but might not be feasible.

Watch this space....

Where did you source the LCI rears? Everywhere I've seen is quoting around the £800 for the conversion...

PM sent - I have a set in immaculate condition for sale for a fraction of what you are being quoted! Can bring to Santa Pod if interested?

Does that method require a new LKM? This thread seems to suggest I do... (pre 06)

No need for an LKM Mate, once you have the cable like I have its plug and play!

Hopefully we'll chat on sunday.....i'll bring the lights if interested we can sort something out.

The LCI rear lights are a 20 minute job to do if you have the cable set. No need for anything else. All plug and play. The cables are around £200ish and whatever you pay for the lights themselves.

The cables are now around £175 - £185....I hear that they have been reduced in the recent weeks

That's quite good. I paid £205 but that was a long time ago when Bruce first introduced the V6 cableset.
