more happy now than I was initially. I was expecting more ooomph low down but have now got used to the power all through the range. It really shifts in 2nd and 3rd. Off the lights is plain crazy.

would love to see a stock GT's 30-70mph video on the level......

bah, fitted LED sidelights at the weekend and I think they'll only suit HID dipped beams.

unless anyone can suggest a dipped beam that matches the light colour?

fine on their own:

Never seen this WIP thread before, looking good Dave!

I've got some powerblue bulbs for sale, dunno if they'd match your LEDs perfectly (depending on what LEDs they are exactly!) but they'd be alot better than standard bulbs, check em out

I'll have a think, they don't look a huge amount different TBH.... it's whether they still look out of place that's the question

I was gonna get some LED sides but it does look a bit lame with the colour differences. Will be interested to know if you find some bulbs to match!

Not completely - still the fronts to do.

The install is on a false floor the whole way across the boot but I can still get access to the spare. With 350 miles a week to and from work I can't afford to have a puncture and rely on tyre weld. The sub is on a separate piece of wood so the right hand side of the boot just lifts out.

The Boston G5 is highly recommended, on the other side of it is a 10" passive rad.
