Silver X10XE Slow project

[Teastick]

Well i have been reading up on this forum for a while now and figured i may as well start a project thread. Firstly hello everyone my names Tony and i live in sunderland

Right the car! Bought this two and a half month ago from my uncle it is my first car and i love it


As you can see it didn't take me long to fiddle with it. Within my first week i had replaced my sidelights, interior light and number plate light with some white LED's

Nice picture as the light levels decreased


Then a few weeks later i decided to order some white xenon look headlights from ebay




They stayed in for all of a week before i decided they were too weak and not bright enough

So i replaced them with some phillips H4 bulbs
They were much brighter then my ebay ones so i am happy with them now

A few weeks later i decided i wanted wind deflectors so bought a set of heko deflectors off the internet.

Before


After




Thats all the pictures i currently have although i have also installed some FLI speakers in the front and a pair of 12'' woofers in the boot. I just forgot to take pictures when installing them

The speakers i bought

I have also carried out a service on the car and my oil filter looked like it had never been changed. It just crumpled in my hand when i took it out.

My current todo / want list

Fix greying bumpers
Respray wiper arms
Figure out rear washer problem
Decent Wheels
Possibly lower 40mm
Sort fuel filter bracket / bolt

Thats all for now thanks for reading

Yea its not too bad and not too much rust really. Had a peak at yours there looking nice matey. You gonna colour code bumpers or keeping them black? I dunno what to do with mine yet.

Thanks mate! Thinking I'm going to keep them. Lack but I wouldn't mind silver bumpers again... Getting bored of the poverty spec look aha

Get some nice alloys, sportex backbox and lower it 60mm

Definitely going to be getting wheels in the near future but dont want to lower it too much as theres far too many speedhumps in my neck of the woods.

Exhaust is a possible but cant see them sounding too nice on a 3 pot
