Nice pic Matt and a good place to park in your sig.

THANX very much :thumbs: IIRC a few Cecils on here had Xenons retro fitted, both OEM & DEPOs.

I prefer the non-xenon look , cleaner & the headlights just look more old school purposeful

Driving at night though , and they are shite :whistle:

I've retrofitted Xenons to my Csl.

I just bought the depo projector lights with the hid kit. Cheap as chips and did the job. Great light output.

I think it costs about £400 in total. In fact I still have my non xenon lights in the garage at home.

Right sort of Mileage, FBMWSH, I can't see it having more than 2 poss 3 owners.:thumbs:
Despite not having Xenon lights (although the add says it does) Squirters and PDC fitted - it's just the price! :( top heavy, this side of 30 would see it sold!

you might be thinking of the wrong car or if its the same one, boy has it changed hands like pass the parcel. 8 owners!!

Most CSL's have had 6+ owners, Some had 4 owners in the first 3 years With dealers registering them etc, Sometimes a private plate can add an extra owner also, my car is showing 8 owners but DVLA records have shown it to be 4 actual different owners.. Buy on condition.

Mines had 7 + me, type of car that people buy it and tick it off the wish list and move onto the next...

Definitely. I've got PDC (don't want to hit anything) but no xenons/washers.

As I haven't got any it's better because they are heavy and unnecessary on a second car used mainly in summer (plus I put upgraded bulbs in).

If I had them I would say they are better for driving at night for a minimal weight gain...

I imagine retro-fit LED's will be available soon ?

The owners thing is such bullshit.......Every owner in a csl's life invariably cherishes the car inorder to preserve his/her investment and minimise residuals

Quite. I don't care how many owners as long as it is clear they looked after it. A stack of receipts and a warranty print-out is fine.

As you say it's a CSL, not an Astra....

Mine has only had 3 owners........I think low ownership numbers is key to a good value CSL :119:
