Fitz Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 .. wondering why you got a CF hood and then painted it? I was always under the impression that Carbon fibre was supposed to be painted (correct me if I'm wrong) and that people didn't paint it just to show that they had a piece of Carbon Fibre?

foodfreak Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 it would help to use the facelift / clear indicators too;) the 'orange blobs' don't work with silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooley Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 i love it and im a big fan of the veilside look dont listen to the poo poo'ers most will be just trying to get you to buy the more expensive kits anyway....that bonnet is awesome as well im still looking for something like that in the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bennyessex Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Love the bonnet, I was thinking about doing the same myself! Apparently people dont usually paint them because the dark surface stops light reflecting up at the screen.... Not sure how true that is. Nice car though!

turbonut Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 It looks lush, even with the surf board on the back Joking apart mate it looks good, have to agree with the consensus on the lights, they need replacing as the yellowing plastic kind of spoils the overall gleaming paintwork...next mod on the list?? Very nice though Linda x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jihwaan Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 cheers guys... Yeh I need to change the orange indicators in the front , anyone know where I can get some clear ones? The headlights need replacing but its a $$ issue at the moment.. dont have anough lol... they are damn expensive.. they need another polish - that would at least help a bit.

martini Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Can someone post a picture of facelift lights and clear indicators with a Veilside kit. I cannot tell the difference between these lights and facelift ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Couple of traders on here sell them, Paul at Whifbitz does. Not sure how much the postage would be to Oz though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The facelift headlights don't have the sidelight built in with the cluster. Facelifts can also go yellow too due to being plastic. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The facelift headlights don't have the sidelight built in with the cluster. Facelifts can also go yellow too due to being plastic. HTH surely you mean pre facelift? damn, I thought the general consensus on this forum was anti-veilside... thanks for the tip on where to source the indicators.. Mate, if it's any consolation, I can't stand the kit That doesn't matter though; it's your car! Your kit does seem to be done well though, I'll give you that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Nope Pre-facelift have the sidelight built into the headlight itself. It sits between the foglight and the dipped beam. On the facelift they took it out as they decided to put the sidelight in with the indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
