Some new pics of my HB JCW...
Did a couple things this spring; JCW suspension, black R105s with PS2s, Aero kit ( I was lucky enough to get one of the last factory painted kits-the way they do the texture is sweet) clear OEM tails. I also changed some lighting while I had it apart for the kit.





For the rear lighting, I needed to unsolder the red diadem bulbs that come in the upper position for pfl foggies. I'd read that people have had a hard time with that, but my 80w blunt force solder gun liquefied that solder in seconds.
I popped my clear reverse bulbs from the factory set in, abd then used one of the red diadem bulbs in an OEM clear reverse light for my center foggie. Looks clear, lights red.
I have the harness for the extra juice, but they look fine without it. When I get around to the audio aspect of my car and I have the dash apart for something, I suppose I'll throw it in.
I'm running Bimmian color matched H11 front fog bulbs-nice match to the Xenons, and I have a set of orange-flashing diadems for my front turns, as well as white indicator bulbs.

I've been thinging about the surrounds; I thought they were part of the kit, which came from Classic, but they're extra. I got TWO sets of the rear grill stickers, but was missing all 3 of the front grills, as well as the side skirt grills. And I was missing the front mounting bracket as well. Classic very quickly got that stuff out to me; they, and especially Steve, are a great company to deal with.
Since the surrounds are an extra, I haven't decided wether to order them- had they come with the kit I could put them in place and see how they look.......
