Got bored with my centre console so I decided to tidy it up a bit. So I got the spray cans out.

I also picked up some alloys recently. They were in bad condition TBH but I got them for nothing really. So out with the spray cans again.. No before picture but you can imagine the state of them.. bad kerb rash and completely filthy. Here's the end result.

New (old) wheels put on.. very happy with them. So I went from 17's to 15's and I must say it's much more comfortable. Not as hard or crashy anymore.

Please excuse the bad phone pics.

New Air Vents MK2.5

So I decided I'd remove my eyeball vents and replace them with something a bit prettier (Well that's my opinion)
Had lots of trouble removing those little bastards, tried wedging tiny screwdrivers down the side, a j shaped piece of metal and the string method. However all failed... so I took out the pliers and ripped them out :D Safe to say I won't be using the originals! Sorry for the bad quality pictures my phone camera is cracked so the lighting is all off.

Not vents but RC car alloys! Go onto eBay and once they are 52 mm in diameter they'll fit like a glove! €6 but take a while to come. You can go all mad with red yellows purple etc but I like the chrome finish!

nice job! How did you wire them? To the existing loom or did you use the Canadian DRL version?

Great idea having the clock included in the video frame.

Hi Steve, you just simply connect them to your existing cables on the light, there is 3 cables on the led, - amber, - white, - earth. so all you got to do is make small cut on existing cable and attach cable from led to it, everything you need is coming with the led. No idea what a Canadian DLR is :D.

Replaced the original 5 watt headrest speakers to 150 watt Alpines.

Some improvement.
