Thanks for the comments guys :thumbup: Must of missed each other somehow! I was parked on the row second left as you go into the car park. haaa, this is a separate location to the main meet. The main meet had nearly 1000 cars turn up, probably in excess of 2000 people and in the end police...

Had a great time at the Northwest Paul Walker remembrance cruise near the Trafford Centre tonight. Massive turn out and not all just chavved up Corsa B's and mopeds like I expected. Literally all sorts of cars there from Skylines, 650bhp sleeper audis down to nice hot hatches like Astra VXR's...

Which ones did you go for Gaz?

Just reading through this thread I saw people talking about 100k life expectancy. Gona change my oil to some Castrol stuff I think as I can get it cheap at work so can change it more often. I read that the Redline oil was the best but its £18 per quart which is a bit under a litre so looks...

I've just bought my car a few weeks ago. An 09 plate 197 with nearly 80k on the clock. A bit worried about the fact the gearbox only has a 100k life though and I probably wouldn't have bought the car if I had of seen this thread first - 25% gearbox fail rate with replacement bills running way...

I was concerned about my cars mileage before buying it, infact it was the reason I joined this forum for advice on the mileage. My car is an 09 plate and has done just under 80k miles now. The car drives perfectly and I wouldn't of known the difference if you had told me it had 20k miles...

Those halfords ones don't look bad actually, size wise they look spot on. May nip and get some, at least they're easily returned

You'll have to drill holes to mount them, well you might be able to screw them straight into the plastic arch liner with self tapping screws but a small pilot hole would be best really. Any more pics guys?

Colt yours do look good - Pure rally style! Really surprised you've not found much difference with them though, especially mounted quite far out from the edge of the car. I know that theres nothing really I can do about the back of the car because all the spray just whips around the back of...

Blimey I bet they're bright! So far so good with the slightly more expensive ones I went for on ebay. Got them in the sidelights and numberplate lights, crisp white light like the ad said and got no flickering or missing LEDs. Much happier with them than the bluer ones I had before. These...

Mudflaps that is ;) Thinking about getting some mudflaps for my car, because now were into winter and the roads are full of salt/grime/leaves, I can't wash the car enough! I'm washing it every weekend at the moment and after one drive the sides of the car - The bottom of the doors and the...

Wasn't me then, I was around there about 8ish

What sort of time was this? Might have been me

Yep will do. I've just fitted them today, they're much whiter than the previous ones and so far no flickering or dodgy LED's, but we'll see how they last

Yeah nothing moved on it... Panic is over anyway - Sorts of. I took the mirror off and pulled it apart as much as I could. Looks like the mirror has been damaged in the past and glued back together because I could see glue residue on part of the mechanism, which I doubt came from the...

Feeling like a right tit right now - I have electric mirrors on my 197, the other day I tried to fold them in with the switch inside the car. I found only the passenger side folded in, the drivers side didn't move. So, stupidly, I decided to give it a bit of persuasion and heard a clunk...

Thanks mate, i've order some more to try off ebay which look the same as the carbon fanatics ones. I'll try them and see how I get on first - No point taking them off you if i'm not going to use them :thumbsup: Had a quick look and the CREE ones look pretty good brightness wise, look like...

Gam, your thread was the one that originally made me look into the LED sidelights, but as mentioned in your thread those bulbs still seem hit and miss. Stevoox says in that thread that his LED's started flickering the same as mine. Looks like he's changed to some crisp white ones now and they...

Hi guys, Recently fitted a set of LED sidelight and numberplate bulbs to my 197, and they lasted about 2 hours worth of driving before they started flickering and some of the 5 LED's on them wouldn't light up... Click to play below - Strobe effect :/ These were the ones I went for...
