Hi. NooBee here.
Just bought a 2011 FX50S Premium - was owned before by Red Bull Racing and used as a display vehicle at F1 Races. Hardly driven - basically onto the transporter and off, 800 miles at purchase. First registration for road, December 2015...
Interested in upgrading headlamp bulbs. Possibly also switching side vents to carbon fibre type.
That's all for now.

Wow, sounds like you might have found a gem! I just hope it doesn't have all that Red Bull merchandising, paint/stickers left on. Welcome to iS!

Hey - thanks for the welcome. That was both unexpected and very hospitable.

Nice custom jobs too. Might make me think a little more about what could be done!

Hi Mechanic.
Up to a heady 2000 miles now.
Enjoying the handling .. had a very wallowy Rangey Rover before, like driving a boat (bad decision).

Wow thats rediculously low. Deffinitely a keeper! I used 6000k d2s philips bulbs on my headlights. You can also use garrax or morimoto wich are also great. You might want to vinyl wrap the vents flat black first to get a feel of what the carbon fiber might end up looking like.

Great. Thanks for advice. How do you get to the bulbs? Is it easiest through the wheelarch? Cheers. J.

 

[Themechanic]

Through the rubber fender liner under the hood thats held on by little plastic clips. Once you pop the clips up you can just lift it up halfway & see the bulb covers.

Welcome John.. How's the premium gas prices in your neck of the woods? lol Would be great to see some pictures of your FX, inside and out. Also, where do you plan to purchase the CF vents?
