rovervi Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hi all i am going to have a go at this, I have done the outside and its made a big difference so now i am going to do the inside, only thing is the chrome rings have lost some of their chrome and just look like yellowy plastic in some parts does anyone know where you can get these replacement chrome rings from? Cheers again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 The rings on j-spec lights are not replacable as the inside of the light is all from one mould. Not sure if this is the case with facelift ones though! I've just done a set, and used some chrome effect aerosol paint to mask out and spray the rings. If you want to give them the facelift look, you can wet flat the whole unit with 600 grit or so, then spray the whole thing matt black. Then when it's gone off, carefully mask the rest of the light out and spray the rings chrome. Some of the original chrome came away when removing the masking tape on one of mine, so it had to be re-done. So ba carefull Edit: Just realised yours are facelift! Sorry, i'm off work with arc eye! Handy info for anyone else though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Jon done my lights on normal J-spec I wanted to keep my chrome rings when they were getting sprayed black, he took my rings off and replaced then with a better pair as when i got them back they were still slightly brown underneath but not as bad as what mines were, so as per what Jon told me they ARE replacable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Strange!! This is a picture of an inside unit from a j-spec light that i am now doing. As you can see the ring is clearly not removable as the whole unit is one moulded piece. On this one i've done the rings with chrome paint, and am going to mask them to paint the rest black.
