Lupo Fiasco Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Also, anyone know how to stop the dreadful clicking noise the doors make? i thought a good clean and WD 40 would work but no If you're refering to the 2 loud clicks when you open your door then new door check straps are the best way, the original straps have a cheap plastic sleeve that, over time disintegrates... Think mine cost me around £18 from a main dealer but if your short on funds, you could try your hands at this.. http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=78249&hl=%2Bcheck+%2Bstrap&fromsearch=1 hope this helps Ruth.. btw, loop looks sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybo Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Lol wanna seen the looks I was getting from people walking past whilst I was sitting with the hair dryer on my driveway hahaa some job when you get them sorted though! A lot cleaner looking altogether tbhI was tempted to remove mine, but I think that it actually makes the car look a bit wider for some reason and with mine being decked, wide is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they possibly be corroded on? :S wd 40 didn't even loosen them! They're pretty much silver now so in desperate need of a spray!

The posts are Splined to keep the wipers moving, and the pressure of the bolts really squishes them on! Mine need doing too, wanna do mine?

DaddyC Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Here Ruth i forgot to mention yesterday, you do realise with the MOT changes that have come in over here recently that the HID's are failable (unless theres self levelling lamps and washers) and police are going to be taking a bit of a stronger stance on them?Jst incase it maybe saves you a bit of hassle in a lot of forms. A good upgraded headlight bulb would be more than fine unless do a lot of backroad country driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily changed though but his arent as bright as some! I do have upgraded bulbs but they're just as useless as the original bulbs so I think I should spend a bit more than £5 on them!
