It has white stitching on the dash, and yes I have front and back parking sensors.
But why swap the sortiledge wheels for sport ones :S The previous owner was crazy!

Not sure if you ever figured this out, but just ignore me if you did :p but from what I've read elsewhere on the forum, the original batch of HDi GT's did come with 18" alloys, as yours is a '10, I'd be willing to bet its more likely it fell into this category?

Yeah probably, as I have the other standard GT bits.

Yeah then I think that likely explains it. Surprised RCZ1 didn't mention this as I'm sure it was one of her posts I read :p. One thing I do wonder though is the HDi's are supposed to have the bigger breaks (same as THP200), I wonder if your model, having the smaller alloys, has the 156 breaks or the 200?

Probably makes little difference as theres only 7HP between them in anycase.

I thought the brakes on the HDI were the same as the 156. Im sure thats what it said in the brochure.

Either way, they stop the car fine :lol:

I think even the bigger brakes would fit under an 18" wheel. I may be wrong though.

That is good to know as other models come with smaller discs up front.

Sports brake discs (340mm) standard with all THP200 engines and Hdi 163 engines with 19" wheels.

Mine probably have the smaller brakes aswell as the smaller wheels looking at the above quote :S

you could always go for an after market xenon pack from RCZ perf.

I personnaly like the NG4 nav just becous of the fancy flipping screen... featurewise i would rather have an after market double din unit, have one in my last car and worked alot easyer / more functions on it.. but hey, who cares, its all about the ride in the end and as the nav gets me to where i wanna go im happy...

Ill have a look at that. Is it the new headlight clusters ect?

It may have to go way way down on my list of things to do though lol. I saw Euro car parts do the xenon headlights for nearly £1,000 a side :shock: :wtf: :crazy: :-o

There's a reason why you can't retro fit xennon lights too readily. You need headlight washers a bunch of rewiring etc. I think wouter is referring to an HID conversion kit. This isn't the same thing. Also, it'll negate part of your warranty and won't pass an MOT test.
