kosmic Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Oh and another thing with the lenses is because they are effectively stuck on top of the originals they protude slightly higher giving a very slight bug-eyed effect!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Today i started to fit the lenses from Supragaztt's GB.... ...only managed to fit one lense, which took about 4.5 hours fron start to finish. I had a few problems along the way, namely the Dremel bits which kept overheating and breaking so had to continuely cool them while cutting in water. the other thing which i did different was NOT to remove the old lense from the body in the oven, i thought it was better not to and i think it didnt come out too bad, the reason was because i didnt want to make a mess of having to seal both the old lense ring to the light body and then the new lense to the old. The only thing i made a c*ck up of was filling the gap between the lenses as i found filler doesnt adhere too well to bostick adhesive something which i may need to redo and do properly on the other side. Anyway heres the before and after pics: http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/7130/dsc00306pg1.jpg http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/7130/dsc00306pg1.963cb771dc.jpg http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/880/dsc00305du3.jpg http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/880/dsc00305du3.0ab7823b7e.jpg http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/9475/dsc00304db9.jpg http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/9475/dsc00304db9.cb29ca6868.jpg http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/4695/dsc00307bc1.jpg http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/4695/dsc00307bc1.bd72374d36.jpg a very impressive transformation....

Good job Yeh i know mate, to be honest - half way through i thought right this is going to come out really shite but i think what helped was not removing the old lense from the light body kept it much simpler although i had to do a lot more masking prior to spraying and used an airline to make sure every last particle of dust was out...fantastc lenses though and oy were they tough to cut Looks great thanks mate a very impressive transformation.... thanks Imi, i think for the price its a fantastic mod and makes the front look a lot more modern and cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
