What bulbs you got in the angel eyes? I got LED ones but the design of the headlight doesn't allow the outer ring to light up much with LED bulbs. Rev's for days

Not sure about the m3,s headlight bulbs. They were in when I bought it.
Haven't done much more on the garage as been very busy with other stuff.
Had to wait 6 weeks for a replacement section of the garage door as it was damaged from the factory.

Nothing much really, been doing some improvements inside the house over winter. Got an architect designing some modifications for the interior alterations. New open plan kitchen with a staircase leading up to the new room above the double garage.
I have since sold the M3 and have bought a nice little runabout ( was going to order a new Focus RS but was unsure what's happening with the market on them at the minute so decided to hang on for a while)
The flooring is here, 36m2 of porcelain 850mmx200mm driftwood planks.
Also sorted outside lighting, some internal lighting for time being and led strip right across the outside of the door.

Will get some update pictures up this week.

Not much going on with the garage, waiting on some plans for the next part of the project.
Just a couple of jobs inside done. I decorated the living room and i fitted karndean in the hallway.

Looks good. Love the lights outside

I have got a power pack 330D Estate and it has the electric deployable tow bar with zoom in camera for reverse towing...and the auto open and close boot lid...nice options and is suprisingly quick with 300 bhp and 480 ftlb.

I've just fitted a TDI-TUNING box fitted with 7 selectable modes. It's now running 230bhp with 460n/m torque.

Karndean is good stuff, fitted it across the entire ground floor of our place and the bathrooms on the next 2 floors. takes plenty of abuse that I'm sure wooden flooring wouldn't have done.

With it being the main entrance to the bungalow and 8 doors coming off it, it gets loads of traffic, so I opted for a slightly thicker karndean. 2.5mm thick instead of the standard 2mm thick. You get 0.2mm wear on the 2mm but you get 0.55mm wear on the thicker 2.5mm tiles. Lifetime guarantee if used in domestic application.
