Hi guys. I want to tint my lights, in the past ive just sprayed the whole unit. That gives a matte effect. If i want that glossy then i lacquer over it. But i want to try something a bit more factory looking so howabout this. Ive taken the inserts out of a spare light unit (you see where this is going) has anyone ever sprayed these directly then put them back in the car. This way it wont affect the unit, but the lenses will be tinted. I cant make my mind up if it will look nice or be completely crap. Id keep the reflector there for legal reasons. Thanks Mark

I saw someone put a post up a few weeks ago about this site. http://www.thetoolboxshop.com/0-012-71-junior-timer-2-way-connector-2420-p.asp Seems good. Did anyone buy them instead of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120676254457&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1523wt_1012 I wanted to know if they were easy enough to use compared to these already set up lot. Cheers guys Mark

Sweet, ive just posted on that link above. Didnt realise it was from 2008 :D

Ooh nasty. Probably just got with the oem ones then

Ok, ill have a look at that. Think i got a plenum gasket off him last time.

Cheers Mark

Sweet, ill get one of those ordered. Cheers guys

Where do i get the cable for that then, i wanted to check my cars health

Is this the one? I thought it was a 9 pin socket

Its all the way over there, that will be why i couldnt find it, ill have a look now. cheers guys

I cant find it, do i have to literally take the ecu out or dismantle it? Even on google searches i cant find an image of it plugged in anywhere. TIA Mark

They can bite. I have had one draw blood before. but its quite rare. (the one that bit me died the next day of old age, she was going for a fly that was on my hand, she missed) This is what i mean by getting the right species though, some will sit on your hand and eat, some will attack you

before you go on buying some guys id do your research on species and stuff. Some of them can be hard tp keep and do need regulated heat and stuff, and some you cant handle. For a first time keeper id get either a chinese or african mantis.

Yeah, crickets are good, but they need to be feed fresh food aswel so as not to poison the mantis.

You can actually get them of ebay now. They have to be sold as live food to abide by ebay rules :D Heat mat (not essential but good) depending on species a good misting of water for a humid cage and fresh food. pretty easy to keep really

In species? yeah size, colour, agressiveness. Id like another african mantis, theyre pretty big

Haha, yeah. They are pretty awesome. I used to feed my first one on spiders only. loved them

Hes lovely aint he. Sadly he died a few months ago. He molted badly and his wings never developed. I had a few when i was younger, i dont know what it was a liked about them. But now im older i intend on getting a few different species. This one was a chinese mantis

Heres my mate. And here he is enjoying lunch

Hi guys. Ive been pondering... I love the looks of a gloss black light bar like so. Now when ive had mot's in the past on other cars ive had a spare set of lights to put on and off, just incase the tester has a problem with it. The only true argument ive had against it is that the reflector needs to reflect no matter how tinted it is. My question is (from getting inspiration from a spoiler thats just been sold on here) can i gloss over the reflectors in the light units and have the desired effect and then use the brake light on the spoiler as a reflector. Or does it need to be on both sides of the vehicle?

I copy pasted your username, then the @googlemail.com bit.

Ive emailed you bartflaster, what did you want to talk about? Ill have to see if these can go back to the sender before i start buying any more. I shouldnt have bought these really money is tight :D

only paid £20. I think i saw these and thought, if only i had the money. Ive emailed the seller for a refund as they were not as described, doubt i have a case though as ive already left feedback :( i was impressed how quick they got here on a saturday aswell. Ill take those off you if he complies. Sod it. thats what student overdrafts are for :D

they were described as both have hair line carks.?? No detailed images just one generic shot, couldnt see anything bad in the picture. Thats a bit shit then. Think ill just salvage the orange then. And practice on them
