RE: Nialls GTi6 - Rippthrough - 18-08-2012
Hmm, they're all welded on a jig, and the holes are oversized slightly already to give them a bit of tolerance - has the subframe/wheel had a whack from a kerb at some point perhaps?
RE: Nialls GTi6 - Niall - 18-08-2012
It's possible. I did look under there for any signs of damage and couldn't see any but it's not a problem. I do have a spare subframe so might have a go at fitting it one day just to see.
RE: Nialls GTi6 - Rippthrough - 18-08-2012
Usually the metal around the little bottom P-bush bolt will be distorted upwards slightly if it has, easy enough to see from the side.
RE: Nialls GTi6 - Niall - 18-08-2012
I'll have a look tomorrow. It's beer in the sun o'clock now!

When you get the top one you will love it even more bud!!! Mine fitted straight on
RE: Nialls GTi6 - Niall - 18-08-2012
Yeah could be a damaged subframe tbh but I'm not overly fussed. It's tracked up alright (although it pulls because of a binding rear caliper) and the brace now fits.

^^ Wont if youre putting eccentric top mounts on though Jonny!

Ehh Iam going to have the holes on the brace welded and have it re drilled
RE: Nialls GTi6 - thethorne - 18-08-2012
Like the colour code lower brace looks good!!! Not sure on the blue carpet my self but liking the car alot mate!!
RE: Nialls GTi6 - Niall - 18-08-2012
It don't look that good. There's loads of chips in it where I dropped it haha. Still only there to stop it rusting! Top one will be properly colour coded though along with most of my engine bay.

There just normal valeo crystals with blue dyed plastic.
Yeah Jonny they are mate.
RE: Nialls GTi6 - C.A.R. - 29-08-2012
I thought the Valeo ones used a translucent blue plastic?
I really want to have a go at masking my headlights soon. Dangerously close to buying a spare set from eBay...
RE: Nialls GTi6 - Ed Doe - 29-08-2012
^^ Get depos; the Valeos are notoriously hard to get apart!!
RE: Nialls GTi6 - Poodle - 29-08-2012
With the valeos vs depos thing, valeos are just harder to do right and even then not much different, just need to heat them more. Look a damn sight better when you do it though.
RE: Nialls GTi6 - Niall - 29-08-2012
Car your right it is like a translucent plastic.
I've done black masks on valeos before and it's bloody difficult to do without messing up the lights.
These were done by Cibie with brand new valeo lights. There a few years old but never been fitted to a car.
There is also a fitting difference with the depos. We all know 306 headlights don't sit properly in the wing if they have had even a slight car park bump and the depos make this look much much worse! Valeos are definately worth the extra 40 quid if your buying new ones.
RE: Nialls GTi6 - C.A.R. - 30-08-2012
Yea my plan is to get hold of some second hand Valeos and a heat gun and some gloves. Then hope for a lot of luck....
Thinking of spraying mine Ford Magnum Grey. Because I have a can I never used on the shitty Focus...
RE: Nialls GTi6 - cwspellowe - 30-08-2012
So xav finally sold those f*cking headlights? Thank f*ck, getting sick of him trying to sell them to me

This niall! Really not of fan of the clear plastic
RE: Nialls GTi6 - C.A.R. - 30-08-2012
I predict they will look like this (except the flappy roof bit)

Out of interest Niall, what are you going to do with your old crystals? I suspect you'll sell them on...
