[dan_mk1]

led rear lights


oooooooooooooo! i take it thats a custom jobby?

[Stuart]

ste you SOB lol

mind you im thinking led lights for a weight reason in that you can run thinner wire to the rear/sides, and also draw less current form the alternator/small battery, its all the small things. NOT for a "styling" reason lol

Nova / Corsa Adj. top mounts. Alloy adjustable strut top mounts with spherical bearings. ?130 pair...

Thinking of buying these to run with my bilstien shocks.. In what way do they adjust? Could i use these to slightly lower the car more? if so, how much? Also if it go's too low (already very low) would i be able to adjust it to the same height as the standard top mounts?

Keith

[jkhilton]

I've got to buy my new car first,(bit nervous to actually part with my cash for another car, after previous experience!!!lol) then........

Xbox,TV,satnav,full install.

then once I have the car, decide what other bits I need depending on how modded the car is when I get it.
