fitted some Philips Xtreme Power headlamp bulbs. been doing late shifts lately so not been able to drive it in the dark, but stood still there's a massive improvement in light over the car park from them and the light is much much whiter

100% recommended. full review to follow soon in the "reviews" section

Also this month:

1. Pressed plates with vaguely OEM looking surrounds (you can also see all of Russ' hard work has been undone by the terrible weather):



2. Blueflame TBE. The tips look quite cartoonish lol:

Visited Darren today, got my MY11 wing mirrors and Bluetooth fitted. Well chuffed!





 :smiley:

Also had my BSH True Seal extensively modified by AKS Tuning in Bedford. Massive thumbs up:



Taking inspiration from RedRobin I also activated my fog lights as DRLs. They also turn themselves off when my (automatic) headlights are active, so not dazzling other drivers. I think it makes the car look more purposeful:
