fitting the neons has just got a bit more difficult due to this sheet of meatal i found this morning

SOD THAT DUDE!!!  YOUR WHEELS ARE ON THE WRONG WAY UP!!!!

DO you not have a front splitter the neone can be screwed to the back of...?  (that\'s where mine is...)

also - have you found your 7 a little unstable at speed?  The normal one is used to stabilise the airflow, and get cold air into the engine bay...

its fine at speed, i think the plate underneath helps airflow too.
air into the engine bay also isnt a problem :)

I need help locating the grommet where the back seats should be.  Ive sound deadened the whole area so i can see where the grommet is. does anyone have a picure?

Archbish

If you jack up the rear of the car, and look at the suspension of the rear wheel under the rear seats, you should see where the swing arm joins the chassis.  Just behind that join, toward the rear of the car,  is a thin metal plate bolted to the chassis- if you shine a torch between that plate and the chassis of the car, you should seethe grommet (it\'s about 15mm in diameter).  It is at the lowest point of the seat, about 4 - 5 inches in from the side of the seat.  

failing that, pushing a pin through the sound deadening in that area should find it eventually...

Ive brought the wires into the car through a grommet just behind the front seats.  just waiting for night time to test the LED\'s :)

I have the side LED\'s done, and IMO they look pretty good.  They sit a bit lower than i would have liked, but its the only place suitable for them on the sill.

I think the rear LED bar is too wide to avoid the exhaust, so im not quite sure what im going to do there, and the front is a bit more than a 30 min job.

Im also toying with only have 2, they do look good if you like this sort of thing.
