SUPRALOOPY Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 could do the side the same as this maybe? http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h174/TDRAPER7/img0012scn9.jpg Nahhhhhhh I've been there:rolleyes: I need to be able to keep it mint IE just take it off and sort it. Blending is a bad idea (as I found out) if something happens its alot of work to put right, where as if its all stock you can take it off and sort with minimal cost and agro;) Learn by your mistakes (I have) Dave:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ok I have pulled the lights apart and I'm thinking on going different. As the lights have benn destroyed putting angel eyes in I'll have to keep the angel eyes:rolleyes: Soooooo I thought I'll colour code the background and tint the angel eyes so they are not so gerish and in ya face, so you end up with a silver background with black tinted rings. I would like input on the lights as they apart and I can do whatever I want with them:eyebrows: I have also been collecting bits to put on the car as it gets done. So what do you think ????

MrRalphMan Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Nice one Dave, I'm sure that this is going to look awesome once you've worked your magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 You could have sold the angel eyes on and bought stock ones in their place. A good set of angel eyes would easily see £200 if the lenses were good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Right I have sprayed the backs gunmetal as thats what colour I'm doing the wheels. I have brought the lenses back to life (looks like glass) I have tinted the angel eyes so they look black in daylight and are not so bright at night. I'm toying with doing the old side light bits satin black and also doing the main beam surround satin black too, What do you think? I have taken pics of the light placed together not finished as I'm not sure what I'm going to do:rolleyes: Dave:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 What did you use to clean the lens up on the lights, and what method as they have come up like new...! 800/1200/1500/3000 grit w&d, soapy water, machine polish with g6/g3/finesse and finish with plastX. A bit ott I know but it works. Oh and plastX on the inside and buffed with soft mutton and then microfibre cloth. Dave;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally ide like em refurbed back to stock look.. Well Stock is out due to the chrome rings being knackered, I have not found a chrome paint that is any good. As for price I have not really thought about it as that is gzaerojohn's field and I don't poach other peoples work. Dave:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
