well just bought my 1st renualt megane 1.5cdi 04 reg
Image
Image

so drove around for the 1st month cleaning and admiring her in the snow
Image
Image
Image

so once i got paid splashed out on all 5 windows tinted
and me girlfriend got me a prive reg plate for a christmas present k4 vnw (kevin of course)
Image
Image

then decieded to change the silly little clown horn in my car :-) (air horn) that will move the silly little charvs from the road
so off come the whole bumper new horn fitted
and since it was a t**t to do i changed the headlights to xenon bulbs and blue sidelights and the indercator witch was white back to orange
Image
Image

i replaced all the inside bulbs bright blue aswell
Image
while fitting my speed camra detector

so then took advantage of the car valeting company at the metro center while the girl was sale shopping (£18 for a full valet inside and out not a bad job worth the money

just bought this little beast for it before i get her remapped so hopefull putting it on when weather hits above -0'c
Image
Image

took a while to get old box out after removing battery ,battery plate and the ecu then it beening a txxt to take out still cause main light was in the way but well worth it sounds mint the turbo whistles more and i can hear the sucking
dont think its made the car faster sounds sport...ya though :D
and engine bay a bit more colourfull with the blue silicone reducer
Image

needs a good clean and i might get the engine cover matching the hoses :)

i might mod the engine bay next :)

just a quick update

got new sidelight bulbs as the other ones turned yellow so wacked these in was saving up for a remap !so since i was nearly there i took me car into the garage 4 wheel balancing cause had vibration though my seat and found out all tyres were destort so cost is £188 not bad i though 4 four brand new tyres
Image
guess its saving time again for the remap :cry

Depends on Wat u prefer
Filter not as sucky I think
I prefer cone put need time to put it in
Easy to do if you have done it before
If u get cone and hose to fit I'll fit it for u if ya want ? :cool:

Thank you, I might have to take you up on that offer, was either gonna get a pipercross filter panel with a turbo whistle lol or a induction kit with cold air intake. They sell universal cold air intakes on eBay for like £10 which could solve ur problem with warm air

I'm sure my engine is the 8 valve one so it dont get as hot any ways
I'm happy with no air ramb to it but they are very easy to fit
We should meet up and u can have a good look and listen see what u think

I've ordered a pipercross panel filter. When it's in we can compare the two. Might have to use ur expertise on changing the sidelights. I managed to changed the passenger side headlight. Wanna get the side lights blue like urs, think it looks nice. I yanked a wire out the drivers side headlight n now it won't come on so going to a scrappy on sat to try and see where it goes. When Ru free to meet and compare?

Welcome along lad.

Ditch the blue side light... degrades the car to an extream.

Looks quality that! Good job.

I was thinking of spraying mine too. I wonder if you can help me. I've never sprayed anything myself so it'll be a DIY job. I do I go about spraying? Primer, Silver, Sand paper?
