yeah i will be, dont want it to look too smooth, plus when i was cutting the peices out of the rear bumper i forgot to cut them big enough to fill in the numberplate recess 

[CL-SID]

nice work fella 

love it - makes me want to mod mine.

If you're keeping the number plate recess how come you decided to infill the small square indent that sits behind it when it wont be visible once the number plate is fitted?

because i might take the plate off for shows and stuff, so thought i might aswell fill it while i have the chance

[thai-wronghorse]

Ah right, fair enough.

[rcsammy]

i wasnt sure if, even though the recess is still there... wether it would look better with a plate or no plate, so thought better to be safe than sorry
plus im a bit of a perfectionist with things like that, it makes me feel good knowing its all smooth even if no one ever sees it 

[thai-wronghorse]

Don't worry mate, you're not alone. ha.

This has changed..... a lot!    I've missed something, where are your indicators now?

[rcsammy]

oops must have missed your post, the indicators are now in the side of the headlights ready for the bumper, couple of pics for ya



UPDATE!

i've been meaning to get round to re-doing my rear lights for quite a while now.

They are Depo M3 style lights, red bottom and clear top as standard, i bought them already spray tinted red top, smoked middle and red bottom... however over time the tint has faded leaving the top a manky orange and just generally they werent in brilliant condition

i wanted to do them properly so i sanded off all of the old tint so i was left with the standard clear top half, i also sanded off the depo branding and numbers stamped into the bottom corner.

then spray tinted the top section(indicator) red and the middle(reverse light) smoked and then lacquered the whole thing for an awesome finish

i've never done anything with lights before so this was a bit of an experiment, they arent perfect but im well happy

during:



after:





Just the one finished at the moment, im just finishing up the lacquer on the other, will put them back on the car in a few days when they have hardened up

Nice work bud, they will look awesome once back on the car
