Yeah I'm really not a fan of the yellow ones so thought I'd go with something different. Red as the whole colour theme is Red and Black. I don't want it to seem like I've stolen Ashcroft's idea though!

Funnily enough im very happy with the ride from mine, if it wasn't for that annoying clunking i would keep them, i may try and figure out what exactly clunks and see if i can sort it, liking the red fogs btw i can see them catching on now your the second on here lol

Thank you! :) Yeah love the black. Wouldn't have any other colour. Glad you like the fogs too!

Thank you ! :D

One final touch to the lights:
Tinted the front headlights as they were sticking out just a bit ! Went for a nice little tint to try and match with the rest of the car.

Front fog lights arent part of an MOT test, so as long as they arent actually used, it makes no difference :D

Spot on sir. I never really use my fogs. Just for show.

Fogs look great in Red :)
Front end looks mean now Tom, not sure about the tint on the front headlights but it does match the sidelights now so works pretty well

I would have probably bought a set of headlight protectors and blacked them out but to be fair they are hard to get hold of these days

Yeah they're a mission to get hold of. Been trying to get my hands on a lower front grill for a while now too.

Finally got a new light switch though! Looks sooo much better now. Blends in with the chrome around the dials.

Popped over 70K now too =( Couldn't get a picture of the actual moment, was on the motorway!
