| Hehehe yes I think it is Ishaq.... I think it is.... Oh and I will be experimenting with xenon as well... as my GF wants a bit more light on the road, so will be retrofitting 6000k in the OEM lamps. Also I will add some black to the units | |

| Darn! Just broke a lamp (while trying to get it open...)  Anyhow, just some pictures of the last upgrades. 'Flat' wiper  Open air filter, soon(ish) to become CAI  And fitted the P/S pump, hopefully the rest will come quickly  Apart from these upgrades, many more should be coming my way... | |

| I finally got the chance to work on my sunvisor(s), disassembled the first of 'em...   Quite easy as you can see, I just need to remove the end (the thinnest part). Then they should be able to come down again, due to the new (BMW) mirror. Next the 'old' lip...  Can you see what I found? BRAND NEW!!  Smell the difference...  Much better, I'll tend to the skirts and rear lip in January I spose...    Unfortunately the kit wasn't that great, so might want to kit it again in January as well... Well so far the updates of last week, hopefully I will have some new updates in the near future 8-) | |

| Someone here in NL had a batch of old Toyota stuff, he had it in a garage for quite some time, so I bought the whole set frontlip/side skirts/rearlip | |

| Thanks! It came across and yes it was a bit pricey, but also brand new and I think I'll never find the complete set again... So I bought it. | |

| Finally fitted the headlights, however, they didn't fit rightaway, so I need to modify the brackets (not the ones from Chris). And the wiring needs to be redone, since the Hi-beam gets 5V when using Low-beam So actually I made a nice and tight loom for nothing | |
