loose trim + smoked rear lights

Also didn't read further up, well about the headlights, BigBoysToys are utterly useless when it comes to customer services, lights are still on order, but i'm going to get a refundon the order soon because i want the money (Â£200 they've had since march) for other things. I keep checking the dates on www.autostylin.co.uk and the dates keep getting pushed back and they're pushed back till the 31st of July and i wont be surprised if they get pushed back further in the mean time!! Any how, Big boys toys told me on several occasions they definitely be here by next week, and even told me they'd definitely be here before inters........yeah like hell!! I've asked them to call me with information and they haven't bothered. Gernerally if you haven't guessed already they've just wound me up no end with their excuses.

and another question for you Jazzy, with the debadged grill how much did it cost you to get the lil recess in the bonnet filled in where the badge usually goes?

Nice one Jazz, when i saw them the other day from far away i thought it was a totally different car. One think you can try is add a coat of clear laquer on the lights which will make the lights match the texture of the paintwork around it. I think im going to smoking my rear lights but im gonna mask off the reverse and brake lights for the first 2 coats and take the masking off for the 3rd. Cant wit till the end of June tho!! Lower the motor, tints, exhaust but not the noisy type and another set of 165K2Ps are on the order

awkward question: do we spray from inside or outside for rear tinting? logically it should be from the inside but they look as though they're done from the outside

jazzy · Post by **jazzy** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 6:08 pm

outside m8, as the clusters are red from the outside

wont it fade with time or weather conditions? or highly acidic bird droppings?

jazzy · Post by **jazzy** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 6:14 pm

wouldnt think so, as onur said il go over with laquer and it will b fine. i have already tested it, with a jet wash, and and bird droppings, which occured naturaly!

are these tints fully legal?

@ Jazzy. I think im getting the Apex springs or might wait hold out till Eibach make 40mm. Eventually when i get the 17s I'm gonna get KW coilovers. The back box is going to be Powerflow but I dont want to be as loud as yours. If you want i can call up to see if they do a deal on group buys.

@ carmadaaron
most things we do to our cars are not legal but they are not illigal to the degree which requires a prison sentence like murder or kidnapping. Its unfortunate that "illigal" spans so widely and I'm sure only Police on thier tea break will stop if they are bothered- usually they dont care unless u look like your a crack dealer. oh and dont wear a hat while driving, that draws a lot of attention to you and lets face it there aint much sunlight in the car.
