Could go with fly eye, apparently it doesn't affect the brightness of the beam as much as standard tint.

Dom's seems pretty good.  wasn't that from LL on here?

Yeah, don't know exactly when LL gets back from the Americas... but he's always quite fair price wise or so I've heard.

He charges £25 per pair of headlight tints don't he?

If I do it then it will be Lamin X but just not sure how easy it is to do. :undecided:

I bought  some proper lamin-x to do mine from a guy on eBay a couple of weeks ago, I did an offer of £12 for a pair of subtle tints and he accepted and that was with postage.  :smiley:

Easy on the octavia lights, not curved enough to cause creases.
Make sure your lights are absolutely spotless from contaminants, turn them on full beam for the heat, then stick on and squegee the lines out.

Lamin-X and the stuff from LL is very easy to use, i've got lamin-x on my fogs & stuff from LL on my headlights :wink:

Both are easy to peel back & reapply if you mess up, as already suggested make sure the lights are completely clean & degreased and use a hair dryer or similar when applying.

Lamin-x is slightly more expensive but comes with a fitting tool which is quite useful for smoothing out the bubbles, but LL sends you a couple of massive sheets so if you cut carefully you'll have plenty left over to tint other things if you wish :smiley:

Had an afternoon spare, first thing was to remove the rear wiper, don't really use it and it looks cleaner with out it.

Will keep hold of it so can be refitted if needed.



Part 2 was new wheels, thanks to all those for the help and advice plus big thanks to Dom for his photoshops etc, I had settled for LM's but having tried one against the car was not sure, so tried a few others and settled on these, let me know what you think.
