It's not as bad as you would expect to be honest, I have a load of cornering warnings, but my dad got one for going round a corner at 21mph on a national speed limit road haha! No speed warnings yet and I'm not the slowest of drivers haha.
#18: Re: First Car Project Author: jk206, Location: GainsboroughPosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 3:31 pm ---- Cornering warning for 21mph on a 60mph road wtf!
#19: Re: First Car Project Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 3:34 pm ---- well nice mods so far,you got yourself a nice and in good shape front bumper,with SP mesh grill,the is an extra for sure :),about the front fog lights,you don't need to wire them up with the rear fog light,you will find the plugs in gray color ( 2 pin plug) behind the head lights,so get it down,and plug it,and find someone with a PP2000 software,this way everything will stay original,and you can turn them on/off when ever u want :),if you need any help in that,let me know.
Good Luck with this project

I know man its crazy! But luckily things like cornering harshly and fast acceleration don't actually say anything about your driving, because legally there's nothing wrong with it haha!

Thanks a lot mate! Yeah I'm really pleased with the bumper, and like you say the SP grille is a little bonus!
Ahh thats really helpful haha, I'll be getting it plugged in as soon as I can, although I don't understand the PP2000 stuff so is there any chance you could give me a quick explanation?
Thanks,
Paddy

#22: Re: First Car Project Author: Paddy1795, Location: CarlislePosted: Tue Jan 08, 2013 2:45 pm ----
You can get ones with 9 bulbs rather than 5 but to be honest theyre more money, for a minimal amount more light and they don't fit in the interior lights like these ones do haha.
#23: Re: First Car Project Author: x-jonny-x, Location: LoughboroughPosted: Tue Jan 08, 2013 3:08 pm ---- Ive had bulbs like these before but werent as bright as that, unfortunately they dont last very long before they blow.

Yeah I thought that, I'm not too sure whether I'm gonna bother with them anymore to be honest.
#27: Re: First Car Project Author: Paddy1795, Location: CarlislePosted: Wed Jan 09, 2013 4:39 pm ---- 09/01/2013 - Just a few pictures I got tonight. (I know, photography isn't one of my talents)
The carbon wrapped badge does a lot for the car!
It looks pretty mean here, can't wait to get the new bumper on though, will look so much better!
This is just a little photoshop I did to get an idea of what it might look like with the wheels Im bidding on, think they
might look a bit smaller in real life.
^I quite like the look, but I might still plastdip them until I get the springs fitted!^
#28: Re: First Car Project Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Wed Jan 09, 2013 4:47 pm ---- Best thing you could do to make your standard set up would to be just buy some good discs and pads e.g brembo standard discs with some mintex/ferodo premier pads and that would be a good start.
The wheels look nice in the bottom pick

That might be a good idea, brake parts aren't that expensive either so may as well buy new decent parts I guess.
Thanks man, I really hope that I win them, but moneys tight at the minute :/
