Other plan is to fit the fogs and seek out some wiring to get em working. (if anyone knows where I might get this please?)!

Is this meaning you don't want to create the wiring your self or you just don't know how to wire them?
"9n Fitting Fog lights" must be the same as installing them on a 9n3? Not that difficult if I remember correctly... though it was probably 5 years a go since I installed them. Oh it's a little depressing how quickly time passes

I haven't the 1st clue how to wire them up....partly due to the fact that I don't have the fogs yet!
My other half is pretty handy with car electrics but I just didn't know if it was worth visiting a breakers to try and get hold of what I need.
BTW....fitted the new headlights on Sunday and they look sweeeet!
It's one of those mods that make you smile everytime you glance at them hee hee

(or is that just me?!)
Bumper was a nightmare to get off without knowing where all the screws might be but got there in the end. Phew!
Anywho, i'll get some pics up soon as the ones I took were bit dark.

What one did u go for?
Also where did u get ur armrest and how much was it and does it make it awkward to pull the handbrake on and off?

arm rest is an armster one from arm rests uk, its a perfect fit and costs abotu 60 quid
it does not get in the way much, but it moves fully out of the way if you dont need it, and the top slides forwards and back, plus inside it is massive for storage, more pics after the trim
as for the snow foam, i got the heavy duty one from elite, its fantastic and comes with free snow too

If its a good fit then might get one, ma mum has one in her audi and its so much more comfortable with it!
Been looking at the snow lance on detailing world, really does look the bizz! Removes all coats of polish, waxes and sealants and start from a fresh!

snof foam is only a pre soak mate, it depends on the foam you use and its dilution
elite stuff says its safe and doesnot remove wax
as for my arm rest, i phoned them direct and asked for the one for the 9n3

Gettin a black one i think, the grey looks too light and would look out of place! Is it a nice secure fit?

The only plan I have for 2009 (hopefully sooner) is a Chrome Grill.
I've just attached a chrome boot strip and it looks great! (Thanks Jeff
