Great job.. any issue with the embossed writing and the edges?

No issue with the emobssed writing at all, the only slight problem with the edges was the corners. However just cut a slit at each corner, fold one edge down, then fold the other edge down and trim accordingly and it's fine. Once the lights were cleaned up it took literally 10 mins to apply the film to both of them and they look really good. Highly recommend it!

I went for the gunsmoke tint for the fogs and i'm seriously considering getting some of the light tint for my headlights as well  :smiley:
yeah i want to do mine in the new year.

Do it  :evil:

The only slight issue I had was that there is a tiny bubble in the middle of one of them, but it says in the instructions that the film is breathable so if you get bubbles within a few days they should be gone. I'll keep you updated tho!  :smiley:

I got 12"x12" piece for £13 but there was a bit left over. Also if you enter the code 'radonet' you get a 10% discount  :wink:

Ok, had a nice suprise from the inland revenue this week so bought/buying some parts  :evil:

On the way are:

- New side skirt trims from VW
- Genuine smoked indicators
- Possibly some new smoked blanks for the front as well

Also in the process of sorting out some new shoes! Rims are sorted but are going to be refurbed, i'm a little torn on colour. I'm thinking probably gunmetal grey. What are peoples thoughts on that?

That'd be telling wouldn't it :wink:
All will become clear soon, it's nothing mega exciting though.
