Well i finally got around to getting the car tinted.
Went with 20%.

Also i know this has probably been asked thousands of times and some will probably say use search....(I have). But i just want to know what certain LED's will work with the front parking lights. So far I've tried about 8 different sets that all claim to be error free/canbus compatible and no luck with them. They turn on for about 5 seconds then go out.

Any help from anyone that has successfully changed them would be extremely appreciated.
Cheers

Oh also. In regards to the HID headlights. I know they are the 'D1S' type bulb but I'm wanting to change the stock ones to 6000K. Is it only the one bulb or is there 2 bulbs as they are the Bi-Xenon HID's?

Cheers again. Sorry to be a pain.

On another note. I installed the paddle shifter extensions an changed over the interior lights to LED. Still have to do the glove box,foot wells and boot and of course the annoying front parkers.

*Oh dear*

Can't say I'm a massive fan of those wheels Looks good with the dark tint and extended paddle shifters.

Fan of the car, it's so nice! Just get rid of those wheels and put the stocks back on, they don't suit the car at all mate.

Other than that, excellent buy!

Well haven't really done much to the car since i last posted as I've been overseas for work. But I've added eyelids and DRL's and also removed the centre suitcase muffler. Will be installing a set of BC BR Coilovers soon and will be doing the roof gloss black.

Does anyone also know why some of the R36's came out with black exhaust pipes from the factory???

A few pics of the car as it is now. Taken at a VW show. And a video of the exhaust.
