rob wild Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well after much messing about and trying to refurb different facelift lights I decided to go custom I'm quite pleased with the results TBH What do you think And one from the back just for good measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannysupratt Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 very nice indeed mate, how did you keep the silver rings, just mask around them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 very nice indeed mate, how did you keep the silver rings, just mask around them? Nope They are facelift inners and pre-facelift outers and lens as these were the best quality and the least amount of yellowing and crazing in the plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Looks good. How long did it take you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Looks good. How long did it take you? Cheers Not long once i was happy that everything would fit and the lens were ok to refurb it took about 2-3hours off polishing, stripping down of the lights, wiring up the facelift side lights and putting it all back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannysupratt Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 fair enough, good effort its paid off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Oh good job mate. That would have taken me best part of half a week to complete. Must say those Lexus wheels look bloody mint with the colour of your car. Almost makes me wonder if i should have gone for them, rather then my custom Image wheels jobby (Pics in my garage).

Cheers matey TBH I've got quite good at stripping the lights down and back up again as i've done quite a few sets I do like your wheels as well matey although I went for the lexus mainly because they are light and have the correct offset etc for the soop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yeh mine were made to the correct offset, and are around 11kgs each apparently. How much do the Lexus wheels weigh out of intrest? If i have a respray, id go for the same colour as yours for sure. Best of black and Silver imo Sorry to veer off topic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much they weight TBH They would be very different front to back though. I'll have a dig about see if i can find out LOL "the best of silver and black" I like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL cheers Ash I do like yours matey and its very different and not common! Although I would'nt change from the trial simply because its a touch more subtle which is kind of my style especially on the daily drive to work and sat in traffic If i was you I would live with it for a while and see if it grows on you more! Your spot on with the number plate! I hate it! totally spoils the look of the front end Have though of a folding one etc but never got round to it I look forward to your idea matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
