oobster Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 As above, i'd like to get my front head-lamps de-tango'd but there is NO WAYft> i'm doing this myself (please do not reply telling me how easy it is etc, as i'm 150% sure about not attempting this myself). Anyone around central scotland done this before (successfully) and would like to offer me a price for carrying out this task on my car?
p1ggm Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 i have a spare set of lights, so if you want you could de tango them and fit them then give me your old ones?? just incase you dont have time to do it in one day
oobster Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 Thanks p1ggm, i'll speak to Jamie first and if he can help me out fairly quickly without the car needing to be laid up for a day then smashing, if not then i'll give you a shout
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Jamie is the main man for this in my opinion - he's the electrics king and this is right up his street I have also bought stuff from Gordon ( p1ggm) and he's a top bloke too..... Cal
oobster Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 Anyone know where I can buy Silvatec bulbs to replace the clear ones? The bulbs say W21W on them.... can't seem to find much info on the net. Edited: Phoned revolution, got them in stock - £14.99.... should get them tomorrow ready for Jamie to do his magic tomorrow night sometime. Also ordered myself a nice wee new WRC front grille, hopefully get it painted & fitted before Ingliston on the 17th
JamesF Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 If you need your grill painted on the cheap my dad is the foreman spray painter at Chatham Honda in Abbeyhill. He would paint your grill for you for £30-£40 (paint included) and you would get it back the same day !!! Same goes for anyone else in the Edinburgh area, no job too small !!
oobster Posted June 21, 2005 Author Posted June 21, 2005 Cheers James, i'll bear that in mind. I am a right impatient git, so getting bits back the same day sounds appealing. Nice car by the way - could do with a set of flaps on it though to finish it off.
JamesF Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 no probs oobster. thanks for the comments. you got a set you want to get rid of like ???
oobster Posted June 22, 2005 Author Posted June 22, 2005 Just got home from Jamie's and the car is now successfully De-Tango'd Thanks for your help Jamie - my patience would have ran out long before your's did !! Pics to follow.....
scoobymadburd Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Hi The lights are looking great makes a big difference to the whole car!!! claire
oobster Posted June 22, 2005 Author Posted June 22, 2005 Thanks claire..... they do indeed make a difference. We also painted the rear orange bulbs silver, and i was surprised how much difference that wee change made too. Hopefully get the grille from Revolution tomorrow & get it painted some time in the next week, then all that's left between now and Ingliston on the 17th is loads of coats of polish!! I Haven't washed the car for about 3 weeks so it's looking a bit mockit.
JamesF Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 love it mate, looks so much better. Now.......when can you do my headlights Jamie ?????
jamie_wood Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Need to be next week I think James. Thats if your serious about getting them done. Im trying to get off on holiday any day now The wife is going mad cause i was supposed to be away on friday LOL
jamie_wood Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 << Right Jamie, I'll be there in half an hour Brian >> Beat it you!! Ive had your sort round here before
JamesF Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Cheers, I'll need to order the silvatec bulbs for the front but I will definitely take you up on your offer at some point.
