Wonder if it could be sprayed on....

I would say yes if you thinned it down a bit 1st.

Use this stuff, its what its meant for, and you can make it as light or as dark as you want. Completely legal, cheap aswell, I used it on my BMW & Merc, really good stuff

I tried that and it was very poor to be honest.

I used the lamin-x on mine, works really well and easy to put on  :smiley:



Cost me about £12 for the lot delivered  :wink:

PS Joe, I think it works with the Green  :smiley:

i'm about to do the lamin-x on my fogs too. Might look a bit french for some but I think they look great! Bonus of the lamin-x stuff is that it should protect the lenses from stone chips as well. I've already had one cracked lens!

If i brought these i'd be scared to put them on my bloody car for fear of them getting knicked/damaged. :sad:

I just done a photoshop of amber fogs on my red car, looks sh!t to be honest. Black & White are the only color combination that looks good on a Red golf :(

Exactly why I put it on mine Mate  :wink: The price of Corrado indicators & fogs is shocking so I did the lot  :grin:. It's quite thick stuff and very durable. It came with one of those little squeegee things and a craft knife to trim it.
