UPDATE 22/09/2012
It's in the FullyLoaded Bodyshop based in London. Car to be completely resprayed to it's original Dark Blue Velvet colour (was tempted to go Midnight Purple III, but the paint cost is ridiculous), full lip kit installation and wheel refurb (they offered to do the wheels for free!). They promised to post progress pictures on their facebook page.

New chrome rings added to the gauge cluster.

No new modifications - just a personal video of the gauges in action, on a public highway (I was a bit bored)

Not enough blue, so I added even more. This time behind the blowers, and they turn on when the blowers are activated. I decided to point the LEDs inwards, to achieve a nice halo glow. Relatively simple to do, they are soldered to the bulb terminals for the climate control backlight display.




Uploaded 01/08/2010 - Added 3 additional white LEDs to balance the backlighting of the cluster. Relatively tricky to position effectively without opening up the cluster. This was essentially done by soldering them to the LED plug (conveniently with solder-ready points), feeding them into the cluster at different angles. The below photo is taken with low exposure (the needles are actually much brighter).
I accidentally burned out a connection inside the cluster on one of the bulb terminals, as a result of incorrect wiring. Thankfully, no major damage. Just soldered a wire to bridge the burned circuit, and is all working again.




Uploaded 30/07/2010 - Blue footwell lights (activated by interior lights) - a tad bright for that cosy ambient feel for driving at night right now, until I figure out how to reduce the intensity.




Uploaded 22/06/2010 - Centre console demister indicators changed to blue


Uploaded 03/03/2010 - New Tints (apologies for the crap quality)

Welcome! Clean start. What are your plans for the car? LEDs look great.

First and foremost - doing something about the front bumper :'(

There are a few scratches on the passenger door from a car park accident from the previous owner, so I'll be looking to get those sorted out, then I'll be looking to consider either a drop or getting larger rims. This country has some notoriously harsh speed humps...

Not really expecting many major changes to happen in the next few months, since I've just moved into a new place. So I'm mainly going to be focusing on simple interior mods.

looks like a good place to start. painting certain interior pieces is a cheap and easy way to start the modification process
