Looks good Carl..have to say it looks like it sits quite high though. Why don't you tuck a little more and add a touch more lowness?? Love the colour choice though :-) that's the problem with 19's pal, there just too damn high. also don't forgot i have got 235/35/19 all round as there 9.5j! to go l...

new rims - Job's a good un!!

leds - my headlight has stopped working?

the led strip in my headlights has stopped working. more than likely burnt out. i'm now debating to taking it all apart and renewing the leds, the question is - what leds would i be best using? something like these... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-X-10mm-White-LED-Light-Bulb-Lamp-Pre-Wired-12V-DIY-/1...
