LOL

I'm certainly not doing any halfords type styling or boy racing crap, but the thought has made me smile.
I have cleaned her inside and out.
I'm also planning to change the wheel nuts and centre caps to smarten up the alloys.

TV for £40?

I meant simple but effective clean up / improvements

Clear/smoked indicators and colour coded vent work well on a silver D3 especially if you have light guards - you get a clean silver surrounded by black edging look to the profile Thumbs Up

TV for £40 - look on eBay for something like Item eBay Item No. 290347832414 - this one is £60 but you get the idea

And then search for Wiggs's FAKRA thread for the links and bits and pieces to make it work

When I say £40 ... it might have been £50 ... but still an order of magnitude cheaper than an Expo Rack or a new set of MTR's on 19" rims Whistle

I must admit now I drive a disco, boy racers do give way especially when they see you would squash them Smile

A very cheap mod but really useful for me was making the front 12v ciggy sockets permanently live by replacing one of the relays behind the bottom glove box with a link wire, total cost 20p.

I may get on to wiggs to see if he'll fit it for me, not sure im up for it myself.

The light guards are a very good touch too but I cant seem to find any at the right price. bit dear new.

Ive put the body coloured washer jet covers on £15 already painted. Rear door handle body coloured and also im going to get the arches in the next couple of weeks. oh and door handle same colour too. you could put the chrome one on
