The car has arrived so I thought I'd start a Gallery thread to keep a track of the car as we mod it a bit.Just arrived and put in the compound. New spec with new Connect and centre armrest.

[Kats]

[Lordharding]

Very nice
Dealers getting back to me about armrest as he needs to check if it will have Nismo trim

I sort of like the black wind deflectors too

What plans hae you got for it ?

Looks awesome Shurm!

My blue diesel Tekna is in the compound at our dealer, but haven't seen it yet.

Really hope we've got the centre arm rest and new connect 2... Is there anyway to tell which models are more likely to have them?

[Shurm]

Should be the new build mate, I'd say I don't want an old spec one now to be fair they haven't got a leg to stand on and I work at a Dealer. Anyway mine might not be happening yet I'm handing my notice in at work and the boss might well throw his teddy out and not let us have the car pity after 14 years service but hey this is the motor trade !!

I'll let fate decide

 

[Shurm]

Its all go

 

[Shurm]

Yep I agree the egg yolk indicators are not a good look, first thing we changed

Hi,Fog lamp change is a bit of a pain, drivers side is accessible from above (bit like a 1st date, lots of fumbling in the dark but you will get there) .Passenger side had to be jacked up and done from underneath, couldn't get my hand in from the top. some have done both from the top. Good luck

What headlight bulbs have you opted for Shurm?

They look less yellow than my Nightbreakers (albeit you are going to tell me tha's what they are... ).

 

[Shurm]

Really !!! couldn't even see that far down as the light was fading, looked underneath and then looked at the wheelarch liners then thought time for tea thats tomorrows job

 

[JUKE5TER]

It is a pain, you wont be able to see much, its all touch, even from underneath its the same.

I was reading on here what everyone was using and then did a bit of research myself. I went for the Osram Cool Blue Intense with matching Osram Cool Blue sidelights.I was expecting them to maybe not be white enough after some reports but they are really good and nice and white, loads better than the yellow they replace.

 

[Darren C]

Cheers pal. It pays to research before purchase. Good choice; good job.

 

[Kats]

It's usually me that changes all the bulbs, smaller hands and all that

 

[Shurm]

Just had a look down to where the fog bulbs go no ones ever fitted them from the top !!!! Anyway going to the coast now instead of messing anymore, them fog light bulbs will get fitted when I'm really bored. Off to the bodyshop tomorrow for the spoiler fitting and a change of wheel colour just don't like silver with white.

 

[Shurm]

Well got the spoiler done but the powder coating firm are on holiday so the wheels will have to wait. Hopefully my plate retention will be back soon as well.

 

[Lordharding]

Just love the white with the wind deflectors on
