Chris`I

You're a braver man than me, given there are no pics of a black one Depending on when you get it, I might have a quick trip down to see it

If it were me, I would swap back to OEM and run it for a while to make sure there isnt another problem. Also take pics of both to see if we can see any difference that may cause the problems. Cant imagine what it could be

You had a whole 6 days to buy it, and was avialable cheaper to you too

Depends on how clean the cutoff is on the car to be fitted to. On old Leons, they looked great as they had a very cleanly defined cutoff so you didnt blind other drivers. A lot of cars though have crap ones and while you think you have really good lights, you are infact blinding all other drivers on the road! I f'in hate it when little scroats fit them to saxo's etc as you end up being blinded! This is why all modern xenons/HIDs have lenses rather than reflectors

Welcome to he forum and 370 ownership - hope you can join us in Wales on the 22/23 May weekend - I don't want to be the only 370 owner there amongst all the 350's +1 - mines not landing til well after Wales meet, but get your name down. Glad you met G and Abid, they are a cracking pair of lads Have you ordered a Black Edition then? I take it you are getting it in black if you have, will be good to see one in the flesh. You getting a manual or the 7AT? Having to wait for mine as its in Quartz.

I have a Dremel to keep that in check Mart

Get some pics of the satnav and its various screens, I forgot when I went! You're better off going another time too if you want to have a proper poke about

I'd say somewhere around 12-15, but if you are looking for hellaflush approval, I'm with Ian, you need something extreme. I'd say +12 is about what you want.

I'd get them PC'd hyper silver or black

In theory yes. Doesnt always work perfectly in practice, but a rim 1.5" (~40mm) will get you a 20mm wider rim each side, so given the same offset will move the rim 20mm closer to the wheel arch

Of course, thats a given, its all a comprimise

Think the general consensus is 5w-30 on the road and 5w-40 if you go to the track. 5w-40 is that bit thinker when its hot that it can survive higher temps a bit better.

yes Not sure its as easy as that, but yes, you keep roughly the same offset as wheels get bigger. Tehnically the offset should get larger numbers to compensate I think. Any good wheel vendor should be able to help with it. The main thing is to start of with the width and offset of a wheel you like and work it from there to make the ones you want to match Depends if you want wheels that = win or wheels that = fail +12 on a 10.5" wheel is perfect fitment (Awaits Docwra to say that anything above 0 is a failiure ) Yes its all personal preference, hence why I suggest finding someone with wheels you like the look of (fit wise), find the width and offset and them make sure whichever you get they have the same relative offset I'm sure though to keep the wheels the same "flushness" to the arch, as the wheel gets wider you generally need a larger offset to keep them in the same place

Guys try to keep the comments out of here Think a tidyup to leave just the pics is in order soon.

Well i did try to get you to go But we got Nixy there in the end after we reassured her that we were not a bunch of internet weirdo's. I cant say the same for members that have joined in the past year though myself, husky, tarmac and biscuit resemble that remark Dont tar yourself with their brush

+1 - give it a go, if you dont like them take them off. Do the sides first then decide on if you want the bonnet too

Shh, I told you're allowed to know about it

Done - you're up to 7 now

Think the speakers are 4ohm. I seem to remember them being half normal ones, which I think is 8ohm. Either than or normally its 4ohm and they are 2ohm

Thats the one

Wasnt there a how to on here not so long ago about cleaning out a so called dead motor to make it work again. I think the brushes get all maky and no connection but a clean out makes them work pretty well again

By more do you mean ANY? Hey, hey, he did JapFest once My biggest regret was doing some mods that werent reversible, and getting my Recaro's vs retrimming the standard seats. But thats only lost me a few hundred quid on trade in and I've had so much fun with the car, club and meets that I dont care. Wont be doing the same with the new one

This was posted up on the US foums a few days ago - looks like good fun - I want winter tyres for xmas this year Anyone speak German know what hes going on about? To me it just looks like good fun! Certainly give my mates Evo on summer tyres a good run for his money Think Colin needs to reinact it next time it snows too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCSR_GuM1DE
