    Silver Indicator Bulbs

    in Styling

    Posted

    Fitted some silver indicator bulbs purchased from Chris @ funkystyling. Without the orange reflection in the headlights looks loads better.

     

    Fiddly to fit but not to bad. Took 15 mins for the first one to work out how and the 2nd was much quicker. Thick fingers makes it harder but it can be done and you don't have to remove the headlight.

     

    Excellent looking and cheap improvement. B)

    Just recieved this update

     

    This has been a very exciting couple of week for Pipeline. I did my first ever TV interview - and it went out on ITN news at 6.30 and 10.30. They also showed details of a scheme that is already up and running in Holland offering discounts of around 6 cents a litre. Check out our media page for a link to the story if you missed it and, if you've got broadband, you can watch the actual film footage.

     

    Membership numbers have now increased to over 180,000 and the number of websites and forums linking to Pipeline is over 3000! This is incredible - and it's all down to our members.

     

    Many of you have written in and asked why it is taking such a long time to get the cards issued. I share your impatience; we all want to get this off the ground but nothing like this has ever been done in the UK and it takes time to sort everything out. We are working hard to get the best deal we can for our members but, as we have said all along, it will be April or even May before we are ready to launch. We would like to be able to give you more details about where the Pipeline Card can be used and how it will work but until that has all been agreed and contracted you will just have to bear with us. It will be worth it!

     

    Lots of you have asked if we could produce some banners and buttons so you can link to Pipeline Card from your websites. We have now set up a page on the site and you can download them from www.PipelineCard.org/linkto.html. We have also included a downloadable poster for those places the internet can't reach! Thanks again to everybody who has written in offering support. It all helps us to reach more people and improve our purchasing power. Keep spreading the word - we still want more people to register. The more we have at this stage, the better.

     

    Finally, on the subject of purchasing, we have had dozens of approaches from companies offering special deals on various goods and services. Most of these have been wholly unrelated to Pipeline and its aims so we have politely declined to feature them on the site. More recently though, we have identified some organisations that seem to offer us genuine savings on motoring-related services. As you know, our strict Privacy Policy prohibits us from passing on your personal data to these organisations but we may consider featuring some of them on the website at some stage if they are good enough.

     

    That's it for now. Don't forget that you can recommend Pipeline by using unsubscribe@PipelineCard.org.

     

    Best wishes

    I have mixed thoughts about trackers...

     

    If the vehicle is going to be completely written off, then yes, a tracker would speed up the process of locating the vehicle and getting your claim sorted, as you wont have to wait for it to be located by the police, or given up on after a few weeks.

     

    If however, the thieves take the car and smash it or thrash it to a stage where it is damaged, but repairable - would you want it back? Or would you rather it not be found until you have had your total loss payout?

     

    If my car gets stolen, I dont want it back, as it will be marked as a stolen recovered, and god knows what may have happened to the engine if they have given it some real abuse... If it has a tracker, you stand more chance of getting it back and having to have it repaired and put back on the road.

     

    I've taken out a form of GAP insurace, whereby if my car is a total loss in the first four years, the difference between what the insurance company pays out and the price I paid for the car (the depreciation effectivley) is made up - so if it is stolen I deffinitley dont want it back, as Ill be able to afford a brand new one if it is a total loss.

     

    So swings and roundabouts really. Im not anywhere near as paranoid about the car being stolen as am about it being dented by some ignoramus and their door in a car park.:scare:

     

    Agree with Chris. Wouldn't want the car back after its been nicked and ragged to a inch of its life.

     

    For this reason I prefer Blackjax. Excellent immobiliser which shuts down the car if the revs go above 1500rpm or after 20 seconds unless a code has been entered. Also prevents car jacking.
