    Lookn great mate, let me know how you go with the wiring, I need to get mine wired up soon aswell, might have to hit you up for some help and tips

    Thanks James, yeah I reckon they are the same ones. These are just a set of 50 pound cheapies from Ebay, although they look quite good and were well sealed. I am currently on the hunt for an OEM wiring harness for the foglights, just trying to find some, that seems to be the hardest thing of the entire process.

    I think I'll need to ask your advice too on how to smoke up the indicators

    Do what Lorenz didn't do - prep the glass first!

    Unfortunately his tint came right off the glass...you need to give it a light wet-sand first (sandpaper soaked in water - bout 1000-2000 grit) for the tint to stick onto something

    Hey guys I've got another problem (I can hear you all saying AGAIN!?! by the way lol)

    Whenever I have passengers in the car the rear suspension bottoms out badly. Stupid question but does anyone know how much a set of rear suspension would cost either new or secondhand. Not looking for anything super special or low at the moment as I am quite low on cash

    Are your rear springs just saggy? Sounds like you could do with some coils mate....

    Trust me I am trying to get coilovers, just don't have any cash at the moment. Seems like I don't have any spare cash for anything at all these days.

    Two new rear dampers would have to be in the region of $300 compared to $700 for a full set of coils...
