What did you do to your x40 today???

Gary, that is auto porn of the finest kind.
I love those wheels, hell I love the whole car.
A really beautiful motor.

looks great - as usual Gary =)

put in the Philips silver vision bulbs into the rear clusters to get rid of the orange bleeding effect.

Looks smarter now.

Good price. These chrome bulbs tend to have a shorter life expectancy (despite some people saying they have longer - the manufacturers themselves say they are shorter). Deffo be interesting to see how the life expectancy of one of these generic brand bulbs in comparison as I paid about £8.50 for the pair of Philips...ouch.

Trim was C4'd and the wheels have a ceramic coating on them now. The shine isn't apparent in the photos!

New pressed plates also replace the old plastic ones too.

Going into the garage tonight, to have the window frames repainted satin black and a few stone chips on the splitter repaired.

Looks bob on Gary

Cheers Pete.

Who could say it was a waste of a weekend?

Not me, but some of my workmates will!

Lol, thanks Rob.
Comments like that make me want to keep hold of it, for a bit longer!
I love the wheels too, much more than the Craters that I had painted that colour, then sold unused.

Thanks Spetsnaz

I have had Silvatec indicator bulbs fitted in mine for more than 4 years.
Changed the rear ones in December, as one had blown.
Replaced both at the same time, but four years is pretty good for a supposedly short life bulb.
Tail lights are now LED, as I was fed up continually replacing incandescent bulbs.
Swapped the reverse lights back to standard, as the LED ones looked brighter, but had a lower light output.
