Elliot, y u no xenons? :(

All stems back to the original deal I got on my Silver one. I got a hefty discount for buying a car in group stock, and this one is simply as close as a "like for like" replacement as I could get.

I could have ordered one, but didn't fancy a nigh-on 3 month wait, with all the problems that could bring with "wear" on the old (silver) car when the time came to actually swap them over.

I have looked into a Xenon retrofit, but as of yet details of doing so on the facelift cars is scarce.

Understandable!


Buy a set of facelift xenon headlamp units and start reverse-engineering :cool:

Already got my eyes on a pair, just trying to work out what parts I need other than the headlamps in order to get adaptive cornering, automatic high beam assist, and the rest of the typical xenon gubbins (auto-levelling, washer system, etc).

Nothing too flashy for me, Laguna II 2.0T (Petrol) but it came with all the goodies... full leather, voice control, bluetooth phone connection, integrated Satnav, parking sensors, heated/electric seats, 6 CD changer, xenon headlights and upgraded speakers.. I Think it must have been a demo at some point in it's life as it comes with every extra that was available.

I love it! :D BUT if I had the money I would have an Audi A5 2.0T FSI Quattro they are stunning!!

A friend of mine had a Laguna GT205. Not a bad car at all and lasted well considering the abuse he gave it. Nice interior, went quite well and was very reliable. He offered it to me for peanuts, but I wasn't interested at the time. He ended up part-exing it for an A4 3.2 S-Line and got even less than peanuts for it.

Sun is indeed out. Getting on for 2 months since I'd properly used the Caterham, can't tell you how good this afternoon was :D

Pics taken on my Nexus 4 in HDR mode, with a bit of tweaking afterwards. Not too bad IMO.

Lovely colour that A4, makes a change to the usual white/black/silver!

Nice seven!

I too took advantage of the sun and took the 205 for a thrash, didn't bother washing and taking photos though :p
