Rite ive just got a few questions about styling for my nova. Cheers for answerin them fellas.

Do LED side repeaters just connect to the original wires and run on the same current or is messing bout wit resistors and all needed?

Wat are peoples experiences of Ecotek's? Are they worth it?

How do you remove the front headlights and indicators as I'm fitting new Ice blue bulbs?

How do you feed the wire from a beesting aerial down through the car to the head unit? My haynes manual told me but its a bit vague.

Anyone know of a good insurance broker who would insure my motor for cheap? Northern Ireland cover obviously.

Thanks alot

^^ dont remove the headlights as you will end up breaking the clips, you can just pop the bulbs out from behide

Thats the way for the bee sting, but as said, once the head lining is down it won't go back up like it was originally.
As for insurance i can't really recommend anyone as you are in N.Ireland, and i aren't

ecotech is probably not worth it, the rest of your plans sound good

Cheers for the tips. Why is an ecotek not worth it? redline and max and all gave it a real good review. Few more questions:

Anyone know how to get an engine bay real clean? Without messin up the spark plugs due to the hose :x lol

Where can you buy hose spray for the hoses in the engine plus coloured ht leads?

Cheers again

You can get the hose spray from www.demon-tweeks.com
and to clean the engine you to cover the electrics(coil,plugs,dizzy,leads etc) make sure they are completely covered and sealed and then the engine has to be blasted with a power washer. That is the only way to get it clean again.
Personally i wouldn't bother, the coloured hoses look sound though.

you could always get the engine bay steam cleaned at a good car cleaners.

i put m,y bee sting arial down the c pillar, that way i only un-did the back part of the roof lining.

as for some of the other questions, go to halfords or where ever.
i take it you dont get out much lol
