Gaz's 1.9 Turbo Diesel

[Gary406]

fitted them on tonight.
my 2nd set have been sold now .

[Gary406]

The surrounds actually quite smart - if it's legal, and at the right price, and isn't a bugger to fit, I might be interested...

highlander i got them from this seller on fleabay mate. my cousin bought the spare set i had

with design 112. i wanted £15 for mine anyway so not to much extra for you straight from supplier

they look nice,
ive seen some in chrome iwill order some when ive got some spare cash

[Gary406]

only problem with chrome ones is cos there cheap items the chrome fades and rusts after a short while. thats why i didnt get those. plus i like the black trim all over my D8

They do look good mate, but nothing like French plates unfortunately. The font on them is different as well. Just for that extra bit of Frenchness I believe HBC's ones are just incredible

[Gary406]

whats the difference with mine and HBC's ? look the same to me ?

PS not to bothered if they look genuine or not . how many people in UK will know

dont forget there in a surround there , out the surround they look identical to HBC's

well after being bored shitless this sunday afternoon. was reading through a few old posts and came across himbigcheifs clear light MOD for the rear.

and since i have a spare set of rear lights thought i would give this a go.

it needs some siliconing , as you can see the clear face bit isnt fixed to the light unit. the front was holding that in but that has to be smashed off like this.

will silicone it soon and see what the finished thing is like. got some clear transparant silicone ready.







and as you can see the face bit isnt fixed to the base anymore



I PROBABLY WONT USE THESE TO BE HONEST NOT LIKING THEM MUCH

[lozz]

iwonder is d9 rear lights wouid split like that ..hmm,

if they did you couid glue d9 lens to d8 soround might need a little trim on the edges tho

[Gary406]

you cant remove the outer bit without smashing it off.

ive give up on the idea anyway, the clear lenz doesnt sit good with outer lenz missing .

[Gary406]

the new vulcan alloy wheels size 215/55/16 . wheels are brand new tyres are not but looks like they have decent tread.

for £150 notes cant grumble at these.

pics from the seller not me.

& I can now tell you before you get them that you definitely need the different wheel bolts. You can see from the bottom pic that there is no difference in the hole width halfway down.

[Gary406]

seller said he has a full set of bolts in the garage somewere. he definately seen 4 the other day when he was taking pics he said.

said i can have them as a freebie if he gets them all out. fingers crossed.
