Rich.2211 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Tinted my front indicators today as the orange blobs were dating the car somewhat! Also fitted some led sidelight bulbs which make the world of difference, just the others to do now. They do still light up amber and let enough light through to pass an MOT as shown below: Here is some before and afters with the sidelights to show the difference: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate it's never leaked, it was only by chance I realised it was deteriorated. Never caused any issues and a nice simple fix. The car has been 100% spot on, and a credit to you!

Loving the dash panels what paint did you use and also did your headlights stop fogging up? Yes mate both the original and replacement are OEM 1.1 bar items. The paint for the dash panels I'm sure is Peugeot Anthracite Grey Metallic or something similar Headlights seem to be fine, well the one is. I have got to split the other one because I got some fingerprints on the inside and it bugs me that you can see it with the headlights on. All shall be sorted soon! Also in talks with a member on purchasing an active spoiler lip, hopefully should be coming my way soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
