Well after snapping bolts on both LCA's at rear, ive gone ordered and bought my front and rear camber kit early.
Should arrive in 7working days, so will have it on car when i have my days off work.

Messed up my fuel and temp clock, so went and by sheer luck got another full dials cluster. Re fitted white dial kit, but spliced and slid around needles. Im not happy how it looks but it'll do for now.

And picked my cover up early from mark (ITRMark-JNE), and love the work he's done, and thanks to Brown4454 (HNE) for supplying the cover, marks pick was better lol, its mint in person and wor lass loves it haha.
But im keeping this for the boost plans to finish bay off.

- Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:42 pm #284419 Package came today with my new LED's for my dials, im not getting full potential out of these as white dials aint the same shape as stock dials, so will need to trim dials down to a circular shape to allow light throu.

Came as a pack of ten, one was faulty but found i only needed five:

Against two stock bulbs:

And light restricted:

I ordered white, but seems a blue to me but still looks good and will be better after i mod the dials.

I have a rear licence plate, licence plate LED lights, HID H4 Bi-Xenon 6000k kit and full camber kit (front+rear) due soon this week or next, then its saving up time for the full coilovers, Axis OG's and BRAND NEW Black DC2 recaro's (which cost more than the rims and tyres lol)

The 4 parts that attach to the nuckle and bolted to struts aint getting used as imo look abit flimsy. Going to clean up oem parts and fit them to new blue ones.
