Re: Laser Decal "Stripes"

Nick, I think coupled with the other very subtle mods to your stunning motor, the extra red stripe compliments the red Laser decals perfectly. The stripe should stay, in my humble :cheers: Thanks very much Tim. Very good of you to say mate :) Yep, the previous owner obviously thought about it enoug...

Re: Laser Decal "Stripes"

Havn't seen your car in the metal, yet, but it looks great in the pictures. The orange stripe gives yours its own identity as I have yet to see one with the same treatment. If you're unsure, I've linked a current advert for one below in your colour with standard striping. Hi Rob, thanks for your co...

Laser Decal "Stripes"

Hi, Need some opinions/advice from you guys please on the 'stripes' on my Laser. As you can see there is a thin orangey red stripe that runs between the bottom edge of the actual Laser stripes and the rubber mouldings. I am seriously considering removing this as I reckon it will look better without ...

I shouldn't be surprized you think all his cute little bulbs are just perfect :gay: :xd: . You can't really have a go at anyone, you include 'guns' in your list of interests and call yourself a tool :D :shock: :shock: :shock: I only asked how easy it was to reach my "cluster" ! :)

Re: Instrument Cluster Bulb Replacement

If it were me Nick, I would attempt to do the reach around now for the quick fix but order some LED's for WHEN the next one goes. Led's aren't just brighter, they last longer. I also found it worthwhile changing the coloured film for a lighter shade when dash is out. You can get lighter tinted red/...

Re: Instrument Cluster Bulb Replacement

i think the cluster has to come out, just dont catch the plastic membrane with the copper wires running through it on the metal ridge of the dash as if you break or damage just one of those that can cause heaps of problems or stop your entire instrument cluster from working entirely, rev gauge incl...

Instrument Cluster Bulb Replacement

Hi. Can you help please. The bulb has stopped working for the Oil Pressure/Ammeter gauges so I just wondered if it was possible to change this without having to remove the cluster. I seem to recall reading that its possible to reach the speedo cable by removing just the lower trim and reaching up be...
