A thousand humble apologies.

It appears that despite his suspicious surname, N is not in fact a Paki at all.

Not that it would matter if he was of course. It wouldn't make him a bad person.

He's just likely to have fewer Merc aspiring criminal uncles due to the fact hat he's (allegedly) not.

If a little led interior light is more likely to result in your car being stolen I’m probably driving around begging to be raped with my massive lightbar - although I just mitigate that risk by not living in downtown Birmingham.

Nathan i am interested in just how shit these interior led bulbs are, post some pics.

I've got interior mood lighting in my truck and I've yet to be raped or stolen.

"GET OFF THE ROAD!"

Same here with the Audi - Nathan gonna hate

Waves. Golf and Renault had all the bulbs replaced with LED. Still to do the BMW interior but I have already done the DRL’s.

At the risk of sounding like I agree with Nathan, aftermarket LED numberplate lights annoy. A couple of cones of light down that cast shadows over the plate, reflect off the bumper, and often cast a line on the road. Frequently brighter than the tail lights themselves, they don't do the job properly, they look shit, what's to like?

clever, you can’t read the plate any more.

You're suggesting Birmingham has a nice part to it (other than the very centre, but that's not big enough to count)

Id suggest an eye test in that case.

Would it look better half painted matt black and taken through an automatic car wash?

[JLv3.0]

My thoughts exactly. Richard - you really don't carry much weight when it comes to comments on anything aesthetic

I need the Matt black bonnet for all the Rallying I do, OBVIOUSLY

And yes, I use a automatic car washes. I understand that I should be hand washing it with PH Neutral organic natural sheep’s vomit shampoo and waxing it with virgin’s Pre-cum, but I just don’t give enough of a frick

I did change the interior lights in my last Saab and in fact the puddle lights were even a different colour!

From memory I did not have to dismantle the interior though.

I regret clicking on this thread. I don't know what is sadder, caring enough about the interior bulbs in your car to swap them for LEDs (was there ever a scene of HID upgrades for them?) or caring enough about other people doing it that you'd post this thread.
