Great job do you think the st suspension is taking over in popularity rather than bilstein B14 or are they both good options equallyFitted some @CRS Performance supplied ST suspension to my mates Kombi. Gloss Grilles and Splitter too. Minor suspension height tweaks once the 20’s go on next week.

Very..I'll get some night driving pictures out in due courseHappy?
@Gringo73 Like the look of these mate. I’ve always liked the thought of these Lazer lights, but they seemed expensive just as an additional ‘full beam’ light. So these act as DRL’s and come on with your standard DRL’s? Do they stay on all the time and dim down when you put on your sidelights or headlights? Some pictures in the daytime running through the sequence of lights would be interesting to see?Installed triple R G2 750 LED driving lamps..Great bit of kit,easy install looking forward to seeing the improvement tonight!

Were already running on THQ v2 headlights with led lamps installed although we found the performance a improvement over the standard candles it was really just ok and not a patch on our other rides lighting set up (Audi A4 Avant)..@Gringo73 Like the look of these mate.

Appreciate what you’re saying about the full beam… totally understand that bit…. I’m more interested in the DRL part?Were already running on THQ v2 headlights with led lamps installed although we found the performance a improvement over the standard candles it was really just ok and not a patch on our other rides lighting set up (Audi A4 Avant)..
Just to give context to the upgraded "fullbeam" lighting We live out in a rural part of the Northeast where 50% of our driving is in dark sky's area (very little light pollution) Back lanes and country roads etc..so the added expense seemed justified!
Started on the Cab Headliner today

I run Michelin Agilis CrossClimate 215/65 T16 on my Claytons all year round.Michelin Agilis Cross Climate, after months reading the opinions on here! Mainly because they are A rated on wet grip as opposed to the Goodyears which also get good mentions.
Blackcircles Black Friday deal (one day only I'm afraid) was 15% off which got them down to £143 ea.
I have been checking Costco and Protyre regularly, seem to be about the same cost (taking into account 7% Topcashback for Protyre) of about £150-155.
Hi @ChrisWatson it wasn’t too difficult, more time consuming. With the headliner I started in the middle, 3 layers of contact adhesive on the existing carpet layer, and one on the new fabric. Once the flattish middle section done I then did the central part at the front and where the visors recess. Once that was done, dried and left overnight I started on the sides. Start by getting the fabric tight into the handle recess and then work outwards and away from the recess. Lastly I took time to get the four corners nice and tight.Hi, looking at doing this to my cab headlining and A-Pillars next weekend - any advice? looks like you've done a really good job of getting the material into the contours.
Did you remove the carpet layer first or just stick straight over with spray adhesive?
Thanks!
Thanks for the info! Same logic I was going to go with which is reassuring, let’s hope my practical is as good as my theory Hi @ChrisWatson it wasn’t too difficult, more time consuming.

Hope that helps?
Also over lapped by about 20-25mm on the back side to minimise any risk of catching the edges.
@ChrisWatson No worries, what material are you going for?Thanks for the info! Same logic I was going to go with which is reassuring, let’s hope my practical is as good as my theory
Think I’ll do the pillars first so I can get used to the feel of he material.
The KW STX is streets better than B14 , most B14 suppliers are now pushing STX as an alternative , doesn't this tell a story??Great job do you think the st suspension is taking over in popularity rather than bilstein B14 or are they both good options equally
Oh right..it's more of a position light than a drl if that helps?Appreciate what you’re saying about the full beam… totally understand that bit…. I’m more interested in the DRL part?
