Title: Re: what do ya think?
Post by: stainesy on 17 May 2012, 14:06: dont worry shes back to normal now. :grin:
well she does have cl lights on the rear now.
in 2 minds weather to keep cl rear lights or have gti ones :undecided:
will be getting some decent clear front indicators and blanks soon not sure weather to go smoked or crystal with the lights in it though

Post by: thai-wronghorse on 17 May 2012, 15:44: Just NO.
Title: Re: what do ya think?
Post by: Gti_Jamo on 17 May 2012, 17:11: I did that years ago to the rear lights on my MK1 which was blue and it looked awesome. Not really feeling it on the Mk3 though mate but might be just as the colour combo doesn't match the car.
Title: Re: what do ya think?
Post by: stainesy on 17 May 2012, 17:21: Yeah the blue just don't work with green :grin:
No point trying it in black as that's basicly what gti rear lights are if you look at them. And the only green fine line tape I can find on egay is bright green.
But sod at anyway I will will putting the clear and red rear lights on as I always do when I buy some.
Title: Re: what do ya think?
Post by: Edwh0re on 17 May 2012, 17:34: I was going to say do them green rather than blue.

Reminds me of lights you used to see on the old Sciroccos.
Title: Re: what do ya think?
Post by: search on 17 May 2012, 18:37: I like very much, but go for same colour as your car.

Yeah that pretty much the same as them. Was always the white gt,s wasn't it.
I Spose you can do it in any colour. Just used thin pinstripe take and the mk3 rear lights already have the lines to follow for the spacing in them. So choose any colour you want from pinstripe range.

Post by: GolfGL on 17 May 2012, 22:16: On my previous dragon green mk3 golf i dont think anything went as well as all round crystal lights, but my mods have always been pretty tame
Title: Re: what do ya think?
Post by: stainesy on 18 May 2012, 05:46: Yeah I'm doing the same on mine. Except I'm gona have them slitely tinted. The chrome smoked front indicators/fog blanks I got from dubmonkeys for my black mk3 looks awesome so I'm getting them again for defo.

Lol sorry nt mean to be rude as you offered me them for free wich is very nice of you but it will cost about £1.50 to send them on an envelope and there are brand new smoked clear ones on eBay for £6.95 :grin:
Sorry if it sounds like I'm ungrateful. I'm not just thought I would point that out :rolleyes: :grin:

Post by: Bandit127 on 18 May 2012, 21:16: Take a chill pill guys - before we get the OMGFG :shocked: :laugh: :shocked: :laugh: shower of posts.

That's about 50% attenuation - so with a set of Nightbreakers it will be as bright as normal...

MOT might be a problem but I am sure it will come off with a bit of chrome polish...
Title: Re: what do ya think?
Post by: stainesy on 18 May 2012, 21:20: tbh im more thinking omfg about the indicators as there is no way that is a light coat :grin:

Post by: mrsaunders on 19 May 2012, 09:00: I thought there prob to wide for an envelope, no offence taken new is always best, try that metal cast spray its in the cosmetic bible bit I think in the stickys, that looks like it works really well
Title: Re: what do ya think?
Post by: andy-gti84 on 19 May 2012, 12:43: nothing wrong with spraying them as am not the only one on here who has. got bright bolbs in an dont make a diff to them not been sprayed. for mot yer might not pass but will hopefully have vento front end by that time. or will just go to scrap yard an pick up a pair just to pass it.
Title: Re: what do ya think?
Post by: stainesy on 19 May 2012, 15:08: Can you take a pic of the indicators on so I can see how much light they give off?
If you ate going to keep the indicators like that put a coat of clear coat over them atleast so they have abit of shine to them :wink:
Title: Re: what do ya think?
Post by: Edwh0re on 20 May 2012, 09:03: Sort of thing that you would get a tug off of VOSA from (just saying).

Stainsy: Oval smoked mk4 side repeaters fit yours - these are available cheaply from GSF (which is where I got mine).

Post by: xAntiVenxm on 20 May 2012, 15:46: I can't tell if that's paint or vinyl on those lights.. but i'm not into it. it looks like you've gone a good job keeping it all lined up and such, but i still think it just will look like a bit of a tacky bodge job, no matter what color stripes its got. don't mean to be horrible haha but the topic does say "what do ya think" :drool: :laugh:
