Xmas Treats for the 'S'

[Grey Hulk]

What better way to celebrate xmas than to buy a few bits & bobs for the 'S'

Couldnt resist buying these polished stainless steel dash vents to replace the old plastic ones, £20 from evilbay


Stainless steel plinth off nige, will be fitting this later on today


Have got these fitted but suspension has been set way too low my middle box is scraping up the bloody driveway.. Not sure how easy they are to higher up yourself? i may be stranded on my driveway for abit


Also now fitted, picked them up custom made, for around £120 from 'custom chrome' all i can say is wow these sound amazing!


HID headlamp kit too, actually draw less power than halogen too

Looking good Steven,

Ref the Gaz bits, don't those have a large thread up the outside to allow height adjustment?

..and the exhaust....interesting, got any more pics or info on the design?

[greyhulk]

Cheers Andy, yes they are height adjustable there GAZ gold aluminiums, I'm just clueless with suspension & the mechanic ain't back till jan 4th
I'll take some snaps of cherry bombs, there 3" diameter which gives me alot more clearance than the "5.1/2 ones some clown put on before I owned it. Chrome tailpipes too which look really nice

[magpies]

nice bling

Dampers are height adjustable

Oh great! Another pair of blazing white lights with no proper dip cut line to dazzle oncoming drivers. Sorry,pet hate of mine. At least you have both working

[greyhulk]

did say they were road legal on the box & been set right but fear not I don't really drive it at nighttime much. Was having the issue with one light coming on, then flickering aswell

agreed with this - but ok if only daylight driving

have them aimed on the low side to minimise blinding.

I'm glad I didn't get the 55watt version of them! yeah they've been set so they aim low, hopefully im not disintegrating nearby drivers on the road

Hmm I was thinking this myself, I guess when I saw 'Central TVR' do them on a S I thought they'd be ok.. Maybe theyll have to come back off?

That 2nd photo is pretty much what many cars look like round here.

You can buy an awful lot of petrol for £150.00+VAT. At £1.06/ltr that's 170 liters or 37 gallons. So in a V6 doing say, 28mpg, that's over a 1000 miles of fun. Each to his own, cheers

[greyhulk]

Oh soery i didnt oay that much I only paid £50 for the kit from tvrssw but it seems temperamental as one comes on without the other sometimes

[v8s4me]

£50? well, that's only one tank of petrol.
