Hmmm im guessing the indicators and rear light's aren't legal?

Engine mods are good though!

I cut the V out of one, then cut up another badge to extend the V to make the C, then used fibreglass on the underside to join them together and then i just used the resin to make a smooth finish on the top side, sanded down then wet and dry, primer and diamand black paint to finish :D ive got some step by step pics if you want me to put them up? :lol:

hehe
same as mine then
my rear lights are non-reflective and my side repeaters are painted :oops:
only advice i can give is if you park your car on a street where theres lots of traffic.....try and find a streetlamp to park it under so people can see it :lol:

Any plans for the headlights?

I think (for daytime use) you should get some headlight covers and black them out to match the indicators 8)

no idea how you'd go about it but possibly some sort of motorised covers? bit like old porsche headlights? only open when you turn the lights on?
