C5 X7 ambient lighting (and some other bits and pieces)

[vborovic]

So, I've managed to find the schematics for this item ... here's how that looks like (diagram only) ... the lights in question are marked with the number 3 ... and actually, it consist of two parts, shame on me for not looking under the drivers segment as well before ... ... qprdude could confirm this as well, that it is two separate light lines that light up in parallel with the ceiling orange ambient lighting ... Don't let the left hand side on the picture confuse you, I have a left hand drive car ... ...

If everything goes as planned, next month I'll reward my car with the ambient lights and the leg lights (3 - for the ambient, 6 & 8 - legs)... On another note, I've upgraded the outside visual a bit as well (you can play spot the difference) ...

Links not working

[vborovic]

What links? To the displaying of the images? No other link have been placed by me ... and the images load fine for me, for now ... I could try to re-upload them to another image hosting (if it's about the pictures) ...

[qprdude]

All that is displayed are two little boxes with X in them

[vborovic]

I'm on it, will re-upload and re-edit in the following minutes ... stay tuned ...

[vborovic]

This is updated ... better now?

Where did you get the chrome lower grill?

[vborovic]

I hope it won't be considered advertising, since I don't have any connection with the company ... Musketier tuning, from Germany ...

No, that's fine. Especially as it is a response to a direct query.

Took me a while to see the difference, I was looking at the lights

I'm not too sure . I think it has slightly Americanised the front. Certainly different though and not something I've seen in the UK.

It's all a matter of taste ... I've purposely placed the two almost identical images, for easier comparison, and they were taken obviously by night, right after the work begun and ended ... I'll place one more photo that was taken in a nice sunny weather ... the grill IMO doesn't look to "fat", or doesn't accent the front bumper too much, it nicely integrates in the existing plastic grill, just attaches to it, and squeezes inside ... drove at 100 mph, no problems with it (I was concerned about the higher wind resistance manifesting in whistling sounds or similar side effects of such an endeavor, but it is OK in this aspect) ... also, it doesn't impact the front parking sensors, they're still happily working with the chrome grill just above them ... since my car is a unique color (not white, not black ... not even gray) ... I was looking for something to lift it up a bit, visually ... it stands out from all other C5's, I can vouch for that ...

Here you go, chrome grill, view by day ...

Doesn't look so brash in daylight, but it reminds me of something. Is it a Peugeot. Changes the look completely.

Quite nice but, missing chomne strip on the middle grill ? and the chrome is thicker than the Original.....lets it down for me
