markjodrell Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi I am going to get my lights refurished by Jon from this forum. The problem is I cannot decide which to have. My car is silver , I fancied the facelift style with crome rings to modernise the car. Anyone got any photos of his refurbed lights on the car, silver car preferably , so I can see what they are like fitted. Apart from that , which one do you guys think would look best on a silver car ?? Also what colour caliper supra stickers would you put on a silver car any help muchly appreciated Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 YES mate, go with the facelift style John did mine and he did a FANTASTIC job Here you go: (with Abflug CF lids) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjodrell Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks alot for the photos, looks really good. Did you send him std lights for the refurb. How similar are they to genuine facelifts. I like the mesh grill you have, I have the std bumper but want to put the mesh in and change the indicators to the clear one like yours. How easy is it taking the headlight out / back in?? Any more photos of other variations of the lights would be great thanks to all Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Mark - I belive Gaz operates a exchange basis with him sending you a set to borrow or an already referbed set before you send him yours Almost the same as the facelifts but the side light is no incorperated into the facelifts. Headlight swap out will take you 10 minuites per light, dead easy hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjodrell Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 when the lights are replaced will they need readjusting for height etc?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 no well,... i hope not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hmmm, this is something I've been looking at too. Is Jon Gazgeroin or whatever his name is, trying to remember off the top of my head. Great guy and excellent prices. I was thinking about Facelift fronts, but thinking black inside on a black car may look too dull. Like the look of the new Angel Eyes though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 when the lights are replaced will they need readjusting for height etc?? I had to ajust mine, dead easy to do thou and will take you about 2 minuites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi2009 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Personally I dont think the facelift style light go too well with a silver car with stock bodywork. Suprastar, not to say that ur car doesnt look good, infact it looks awesome but obviously u dont have the front bumper or hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjodrell Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Damon, are your lights the facelift style,(your car looks ace m8) getting mixed opinions now on which will go best with a silver car, its just that I wanted the facelift to make it look more recent. Any one got any more photos of the refurbished lights on a silver car ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 i have both both facelift lights (on at the moment after i just refurbed them) and pre facelift and i actually think that the pre facelift lights look more modern than the facelift lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatSport Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 there`s a difference in getting your existing ones done or buying Facelifts. Your old ones have sidelights built in Facelifts don`t, you can of course get new sidelights/repeaters at the same time like so....

Any one got any more photos of the refurbished lights on a silver car ?? Thanks buddy, mine are not the facelift ones, i went for something a bit different, in fact im yet to see it on any other supe. I choose UK spec lights, which are basically the same design as the original (pre faceleft) lights but they have a glass lense, and had the back plate thing sprayed the same colour as the car. http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/9514/imgp1119tm0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjodrell Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Satsport.. are your lights in the photo original facelift lights or the refurbished ordinary ones refurbished to look like facelifts. Apparently Jon off this site can refurbish normal lights to look like facelifts so I assume the sidelights will be still there in the headlight ( at least that is how I understand it) Who is Nic and how much do the clear indicators cost cheers Mark PS nice car m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatSport Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Mark, Mine are Facelift items i bought of Nic in Hong Kong (see the traders section), and here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=76750 difference as i said are no sidelights and no lines in the glass for beam focusing, this is done now on the actual lens inside. Also gives you the opportunity to get rid of those ugly orange indicators and replace with the clear indicators/sidelight unit. Rears to match are also available.

squiffy Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 i had mine sprayed to match the body mate.... i also moved the indicators to where the sidelights were:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 John did mine and he did a FANTASTIC job If those pics are of refurbed lights they are bloody brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
