GFWilliams 1,673 Report post Posted January 9 Thanks for the kind words chaps, got to love the pure design of the Exige S. A little lower and the silver bits black. I miss the forged wheels, but am amazed how good the winter tyres are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GFWilliams 1,673 Report post Posted January 16 Small boring update... Car was serviced at Back on Track today including gearbox oil change. Also had geo checked as the car felt a little unstable at high speeds, which was due to the rear toe being set to dead straight on one side. Toe in set correctly now and the car feels a lot better because of it. Car all running nicely at the moment, 48,800 miles on it now! Being daily driven at the moment which I'm enjoying. Winter tyres are great fun, although will be nice to have some warm dry roads on Cup 2 at some stage. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GFWilliams 1,673 Report post Posted January 29 Winter tyres are absolutely amazing things. Ignore any fun, they’re just so much safer, the braking on snow with winters is no worse than in the wet with cup 2! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How did you get the "candles for headlamps" to be that bright got to love Adobe I have LED bulbs... They appear like they should be bright, but the projectors are so bad that the visibility is still crap. In time, I want to take the headlight unit apart and change it to a proper Bi-LED projector. At the moment it's a 60mm projector which is more a motorbike size, I'd upgrade to 90mm which should give a much clearer light. I don't really want to take apart my headlight at the moment though, ideally I'll find a damaged headlight to work out the feasibility first as I think it'll need the inner plastic reshaping to change it from two separate beams to one. Obviously it won't be a cheap exercise as I'll want it to look as good, if not better, than the OEM unit when done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GFWilliams 1,673 Report post Posted February 7 It's been a while since I've done anything proper to my car. After lots of research, I've ordered a 60mm low beam projector from Hella. I think it's too big a job at the moment to make a 90mm projector fit as it would require considerable changes to the headlight assembly. The 60mm is the same size as the factory projector, so should go in without huge modifications. I expect a couple of holes will need to be drilled, and maybe a little cutting, but that remains to be seen when the projector arrives and I have removed my headlight units from the car.

RoflOnMyWaffle 228 Report post Posted February 9 What have you done to me. I'm now running smaller lights in my grille on The Crew 2. Really digging the look - reminds me of an Exige S2. Might be another solution to add more light with less crazy rally lights? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( do they still produce that ?!) pink or brown ? on a serious note, all they vents and louvres completely ruin the look of the car. Each to their own of course!
