Wink Few jobs I've been putting off.....

The passenger side fog lamp surround on manual Xs is solid, which always bothered me, so I got a mesh piece from an SST car, and used that to run my cold air feed from (Pipercross one I've had lying around for 5 years!!!) Had to take the bumper off at some stage to fit my PIAA horns, so waited until there was more than one job to do in there Also fitted some AMS shifter bushes, and I honestly can't feel the difference

Should help in warmer weather........back to the disgusting yellow filter since my red one's filthy



Got rid of the orange indicator bulbs too, silver ones look so much better


PIAA horns sound slightly less girly than the oe ones


Finally got my boost gauge finished


FQ 360 hand brake lever



and as my Eibach pro kit has made my Bilsteins fail, I'm kinda guinnea pig for these, fitted next week

ordered it from a dealer, not cheap for all it is, but it has to match the rest of the mesh! It's not the whole surround, it is just the mesh part, held on with 4 screws from the rear of the surround, bumper off job to fit it!!
