Looks very tidy and a good job on the cleaning dept.

What are those sidelight bulbs you have fitted ?

Title: Re: cleaned and polished the mig today
Post by: o-meg-a on 05 June 2011, 14:14:21

the sidelights are SMD LED's. they are flat panel LED's.

These ones have 5 leds, 1 front facing, and 4 all around.

You can get them with all front facing as well

the ones i have a better to use with reflectors, like the omega lights.

Very bright, for very little power, and also very white light. Matching the colour of the HID headlights a bit better.

had them on my last 3 cars.

i bought mine from here

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320671394585&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

these are definitely the cheapest on ebay by far, and of equal quality to any,

No, just a good wash.

Tbh I have no idea what grill it is. Just something I picked up on eBay nice and cheap. The Turbo intercooler badge is a welded on metal one though. So not sure if that helps with original identity.

It looks similar to the cheaper aftermarket ones I've seen about.
its no irmscher lol

Looks great  :y I haven't polished a car that well in a long time.
Just one question, do you have to talk to it as you take the pics? "just one more for me baby"  ;D ;D ;D
