Re: FKU

The lights are a huge improvement. :thumleft: What's the motivation for buying a carbon bonnet? Aesthetics or weight reduction? Certainly are :) Motivation for me is looks and my original bonnet has a few stone chips . Nowt terrible but enough that it is doing my head in and will probably get it pa...

Re: FKU

Would be nice if thats the case . If I get time I`ll ring the supplier . usually Im at work while they are open then off when they are shut . Might have to make a sneaky call in work time to find out .

They are £500 on the sellers website so don`t want to miss one while they are reduced .

Re: FKU

No particular reason John , just liked the look of the sparco`s and when you take account of the brand new tires it didn`t cost that much for the wheels at all. Me and Krish did a bit of haggling :lol: Toyed with the idea of selling the SSP`s but I do like the look of clean 5 spokes and after search...

Aye I got the osram bulbs to start with. They were better than the original bulbs in the original glass but still not that great.

Hoping the osram and the crystal glass gets me the light performance I want .
