#1: Few touch up suggestions please Author: skip2ma, Location: London/KentPosted: Fri Aug 27, 2010 11:18 am ---- Hi guy
Just bought a W reg 206, my very first car yippee-though now broke with a holiday planned for October!! grrr
Just thinking of a few touch up nothing extravagant, as i'm not too good with d.i.y the Halford guys, mechanics will be doing most except i get very explicit explanations (I'm still on provisional
First what lights will look better on my 206, the colour is not too flatering was thing of morettes* or something clearer
Second, The interior is extreme dark at night, I have been going through the forum seeing some LED lights or neon, I was wondering if there's alternative one like a plug and play light i can stick somewhere in the footwell so i can at least see my feet lol www.halfords.com/webap...yId_165604 this would have been ideal but seems alot of drilling and plugging i dont even know any electrics
Third, is there meant to be a light bulb in the Glove compartment because when i went into the car last nite i had to use my phone to see even with the lights on- and what the best light for the interior-very bright ( i think ive got sight problems lol i want thing to be bright and my feet visible when driving lol)

Probably one of the more cheaper yet still nice mods to do. Next step up? - Angel eyes, then morrettes, but they are quite expensive iirc. - For the rear, anything but lexus lights lol!! - Take a look at dabamashs rear lights, or even the smoked m3 ones (more expensive but look awesome IMHO)
second Im pretty sure there arent any 'plug and play' solutions, most people wire in LED's like the ones you have into the footwell, but a lot of those people wouldnt recommend keeping those on, they usually have them on with the courtesy light or when a door is opened etc.
Sorry no idea on the last mate!! - But im pretty sure there is supposed to be!
Get some piccies up mate!! - Youll soon have a flood of suggestions!
#5: Re: Few touch up suggestions please Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Fri Aug 27, 2010 11:52 am ---- As long as the lights you wire into the foot wells are white, I don't see why there would be a problem with them.
They're quite good, as they look like LED's when they're on, but they don't cost as much.

Yeh, i agree, but i havent done it so cant say for sure, but like a lot of ppls that ive seen on here have done it and done it that way..
Do you have a pic of the smoked m3 ones? Im not sure which puggy I saw it on anymore now!! It was an aegean blue one just like yours though, but with mudflaps and a spoiler.
#7: Re: Few touch up suggestions please Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Fri Aug 27, 2010 12:08 pm ---- Mikey has them.
Sorry about the pic, but I can't find a better one. I'm sure Mikey has a better pic somewhere.
(sorry about using your sig Mikey. You should put your car in the garage lol )

#16: Re: Few touch up suggestions please Author: skip2ma, Location: London/KentPosted: Fri Aug 27, 2010 8:50 pm ---- those picture by dabamash look quiet nice, are those called phase 2 lights?
can someone please show me an example of a crystal side repeater? is that the indicator lights on the side like left/right turns?
hey you guys have been great!! these alone will do me for external modifications,
-front crystal light,
-crystal fog lights,
-the white brake light at the top of the boot
how i wish i can do these things myself, they look interesting! i think i'll go volunteer at a mechanics shop!!
found these on halfords i can use them for the footwells on boths sides or stick it under the chair, i just want something that can lighten up the floor without having to switch the light on
#17: Re: Few touch up suggestions please Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 1:11 am ---- if your geting neons in the footwel jus make sure u stick thm up properly and make sure no cables are showing as tht looks realy tacky
#18: Re: Few touch up suggestions please Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 6:39 am ---- The clear rear fog and top brake light are really easy to do. It's literally plug and play. You don't need a garage to do it for you.
The rear lights take a bit more doing, but it's still only a matter of unscrewing a washer then plugging in the new lights. Front lights are a bit more of a faff though.
Oh, and no, my rears aren't phase 2, they're aftermarket.
#19: Re: Few touch up suggestions please Author: skip2ma, Location: London/KentPosted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 8:52 pm ---- hey peoples im back again
