have started messing with the car

[nz-sri]

Well the car has travelled 9000 kms now so i thought it time to start the mods so (all comments welcome )

1. VXR Intake i used this instead of the veccy c pipe as it uses the same mounts as the old one (no pics sorry )

2. Pre Cat pipe just waiting on Norms group buy to come in (pics to follow)

3. Irmy interior handles

4. Kerb lights

Now i wanted kerb lights but wanted them to turn on when the door opened , so after taking the door apart and tracing and metering all wires that go to the door and finding no factory wireing had to make up my own switch.So i have mounted a magnetic reed switch in the door and the magnet is mounted under the door sill trim , and im happy with the way it turned out .

so now on with the pics

Irmy door handles look great :)

Just wondering, what's the idea behind the 'kerb lights' :confused: or are they just an aesthetic addition........I've done a similar thing with LED's on my boot lid ;)

[R3N]

done a similar mod to mine ages ago:

Except I mounted mine under the side skirts and I just traced the wire thats behind the glove box so it comes on whenever the interior light does (ie. when the doors are opened)
