Post by: Wizzkidd on 17 March 2008, 22:17: Cheers!

Want to tint half the rear lights, Half red, half black tint. so any pointers would be great

ordered some tinted side repeaters from the bay.

cant decide weather to blacken the black badge or buy a new chrome 1?

Then going to completely clean it, wash, clay, wax etc etc full shebang, well what i can that doesnt require an electric polisher!

Cheers WK

Thinking of tinting half my rear lights, top half black tint, bottom red, mine are only standards though? would it look ok?

Cheers WK

if you have a scrappy near by then you will probably pick up a bargain as ebay prices tend to be inflated quite a bit these days i have noticed
