Silver X10XE Slow project
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

Re: Silver X10XE Slow project
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.gazza_no7 wrote:Thanks mate!
