What have you done to your P5 today?

lol it was all overcast and then it got dark so all we had was a nokia n900 and an iphone to take photos with

blah
i think i adjusted them to shoot as low as possible but they are still too high... probably going to have to open up the housing again and adjust... anyhow here are some pics... it's still not night time here yet so no night shots

Looks great! You actually beat me to the CF vinyl, I was planning on doing that to mine.

If it's still too high than the projector is bolted too slanted in the reflector. This was the longest part of my retrofit and it was a HUGE PITA. It's probably the most frustrating thing ever, and was the main reason why my retro took me a total of 20 hours. (rant)

So I received my 3M carbon di-noc vinyl yesterday, so in between watching home and away & Top Gear, I knocked this up!

All I can say is that this product is soo easy to work with, very malible, and you can reheat (with a heatgun, I used the missus hairdryer) to bring its adhesivness back

And the finished product back in the car!

Cheers
Marc

Hehe

I only did sections with the vinyl. The way I did it was take some construction paper and make templates of the part(s) of the headlight you wanna do. Cuz it is way easier to stick patches. There is no way you will get a single peice of vinyl on there. If you do you are god

[Matt V]

You guys know I do retrofits too, right?

 

[justanothermp5]

bought an air filter for the turbo finally lol
been running open turbo for around 4 months now...dont think my engine is liking it
especially when its raining
found rusty water droplets on the inside of my pipes

 

[Matt V]

Why on Earth would you run an open turbo? That's just asking for trouble.

 

[justanothermp5]

didnt have money for a filter lol
just sold some stuff so i had enough money to buy a filter, i had to buy it directly from K&N because no one around here had the right size

its gonna go right on the turbo, 2.25" inlet 20 degree offset, should be sweet

That's bad news. Should probably disassemble and clean insides of your pipes...

 

[justanothermp5]

so now i dont drive my car in the rain unless i absolutely have to

the filter should be here by thursday, lets hope it is

Yeah, i just couldnt take having to replace motors before timing belts or water pumps. It was a regular maintenance thing. figured I might as well get a fun happy reliable car that can have whatever horsepower figure i pull out of my ass lol. It was a fun ride with the protege but it was time

 

[Rockin03mp5]

[xDJ DUBx]

we swapped the hood onto a local car, got the mp3 ecu, a couple of other little things swapped. traded it in with everything else
