Got these of Phil (mad paddy rs) today. Happy out but think I may clean the engine bay before I fit them. Think it will take the look away from them. Phil your rs is gorgeous very tidy car. Well wear [emoji106].

Its been hard work. Not easy at all. Evening full of sweat turned into night full of curses and regrets. Spent evening taking off the back paint from my gauges, to realize, that during the process I have broken the RPM needle. After testing, the needle was just jumping in 500rpm steps. Had to take it out again, and attempt to fix it. Fixed it enough, so the needle was only getting stuck between 2-3k RPM, other than that worked fine all the way.
After that the gauges were white, but not white white as the original idea that they will fit with my Boost gauge, they were yellowish white. So the hunt for RED or BLUE LEDs began. Its not easy to find LEDs in this country, I tell you that. Tried tons of different shops and stores. And finally found some in Motor Factors. They needed a bit tweaking to fit, but here is the result:
While I was installing the RED LEDs, I probably touched something and the needle works just fine now again
So I am pleased with the result, and even the gauges are working as they should! Happy days

Got the Astra back this evening after her major open heart surgery.....gearbox rebuilt...new clutch kit....all the belts replaced. Timing belt and kit done. Oil and oil filter done to. My gearbox is now like a Bolt action on a rifle thanks to my amazing mechanic...Griffin auto services ennis and cahir gearbox centre. It's like a new car.

Got a few goodies for the wagon yesterday and decided to actually achieve something on a monday by fitting them, the strut bar brackets actually arrived attached the wrong way round which led to some initial head scratching but was very easy fit after that..
Picked up a Forge BOV also but won't have that on til i get a blanking bung for the recirc hose
