Car photos/discussion thread

I much prefer them to the plain old red lights my car has fitted. They're not over the top like some. I don't want to look like Ali G so Im not pimping my ride out or anything lol.

Edit: Ew no, the inside black looks too boy racer for me personally.
 
200 mile trip today to pick up an old Volvo 340 GL

then got back and washed the Bimmer, such a fucking mess it was
Looking good, what was the Volvo for?
Interesting, never knew Lexus lights were a thing, I guess they are no worse than late 80's AMG rims, shogun wind deflectors or

JR
Do you mean these wheels?

Wow thats low. No point washing at the minute just gets covered in dirt again ten minutes later. I guess its worth getting all the salt off like.

My whip. took this a last month when I got it. Its a bit brown at the min.

I like to keep my car clean, looks better and goes faster if its clean lol, yeah its fairly low, just waiting for my body shop to be empty and this will go in to have some arch work done, and it can be lower :D
Thats a Juke aint it, omg the version they do with the GTR engine in it :D i'd have one any day of the week!

Cheers dude, the Volvo was a cheap car we found that needed to be purchased for the sake of having one, we kinda justified the purchase by saying we was gonna use for the barrel sprint :lol:

They make excellent starter drift cars. Heck there is one in the UK championship with a 2JZ engine in it ;)


I do like how 80s they look though.

Anyone know where I can get cruise control retro fitted on my 3 series? Google isn't very consistent, would BMW do it?

You need this kit

And also the steering wheel to wire it into, i cant really tell you anymore than that as ive never done it!

I have the wiring diagram if you need it :)

When I got it I forgot to look for it, I just assumed it would have it as the others I looked at did. They never added the option from factory.

I'd need the cruise control stalk as it's built into the steering wheel for my model. It'd also need coding. I'd rather just get someone who's used to doing it, do it. Too much money to fook up.
 
Ring bmw see if they will do it for you, can't see it being hassle for them but I can safely assume it'll be ££££
 
Has anybody got experience with upholstery cleaners? In 2013 Black Diamond got number one so looking at getting that.

Spent two hours in the cold yesterday washing outside of the car and the inside and three hours today rubbing the materials inside with a rubber glove getting all the previous owners dog hairs out. Made up its actually looking mint now but need to clean the roof material to get the slight smell out and will do seats and doors whilst I'm at it.

Used a steam vaccume? worked a treat and my car's interior was ruined by dog hair and mud





Kei car drifting is mad. Super silly.

Cheers buddy. :)

Edit: Do I need to inform my insurance now I've changed my lights? Does it come under modification?

when it comes to modifications, rules are simple, 'if it didn't come out the factory with it on, it needs to be declared or your insurance is null and void' no matter how small the mod, needs to be declared, when it comes to crunch time insurance will use anything not to pay out...i mean anything!

FFS what a nuisance! Gonna have to ring them now. What exactly will they want to know, they're just lights...
