They're also on my to do list, just unsure how wide tho could do with measuring how much clearance I've got.
Planning on getting the arches rolled so can go lower so spacers will probably be after that :-)

Looks nice bud, although not a fan of where the number plate sits personally.

I'm between 2minds of where to put it, I need a new bumper soon as the cracks gettin bigger the more I play with it so I'll make a decision then.
I tried it there cos I'm toying with the idea of smoothin the bumper or at least the number plate recess.

Looks good from the back mate but I wouldnt bother tinting the front lights.
The OEM Xenon headlights look amazing standard, tinting them will totally ruin them IMO

I'm still undecided about what to do bud, the lights do look pretty nice already. Looking bit faded so will eventually buy new replacements.
Maybe experiment with old lights then??

If you’re going to buy new ones then it might be worth experimenting but what you could do is just buy a set of headlight protectors and tint them instead.

They sit really tight on the headlight and if you tinted them it would give you the same effect whilst keeping the headlights original

Example

Nice mate looks sweet.
Where'd you get them and how much?
How you fix them to the lights?

Some dude on eBay used to supply them for £7 delivered but he doesnt seem to sell them anymore

You may have to source a second hand set or find somewhere online that supplies them (shouldnt cost more than £10 for a pair)

They are really easy to fit so its literally a 2 minute job, they come supplied with the fitting brackets & instructions.
I would send you a link but i'm not sure where you can get them from now :(
