Minor tweaks.

[Craig-ZS180]

Been in need of new lamps for past month or so and then bought Smokeys old lamps (top guy as sorted it all very quickly and was really helpful with the whole thing:thumbsup:) he was selling and had the chance to get them swapped over today (at last) but with a different take on the amber/clear indicators that is more offer seen.
First of how she started.

Then cleaned up the what seemed to be nearly 10 years worth of crap from behind bumper, support beam & lights then went on with fitting my new units

Cheers Ritchy, appreciated mate. Got a way to go though if I want her anywhere like yours buddy. Love your car.
Refurb/spray wheels is next on to do list after doing the sub & speakers on tuesday, just not sure on what colour to go for?

[Smokey]

Defo suits the car with the moody look mate.

Thanks buddy, yeah I was quite pleased about the look as they didn't look quite so nice not on the car. Started to doubt it but once together I was really chuffed at it. Also different from the 45 lamp swap which nothing wrong with at all but wouldn't go with my theme for the car really.

[Ritchy]

thanks a lot mate haha, straights are a hard one, i dont know about black for your car, they do look good black but not sure about black with your car being fairly dark already, guy on the zr site had coated some straights a light grey and it looked nice, then you can consider if you want to keep centre caps or not, or just go with smaller ones that would fill the grub hole(dazzer would be he man for that)
perhaps the same with the side repators to tie it in?

[Smokey]

I have tinted side repeaters of the old track car. Looked cool.

Makes a change from the norm, looks pretty good.

Exactly my problem, not sure which way to go. Hads thoughts of almost xpower green or the orange off the GT3's (bright colours) or to go down the graphite or gunmetal route??
Seen a few examples of my options but still no easier to chose :hmmm:

I no what you mean ref the centre caps though, if i do go that route i will be onto dazzer, he did my badges which i think look great..

Had thought about doing this to carry it on.

Looks good, took a bit of work to get there but well worth it.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cheers Peter, slowly making my mark on it (in a good way hopefully). Was a bit more than what first thought but enjoyed doing it :D

[andy-81]

looks good pal i was thinkin of doing this to my lamps, as for the wheels maybe black or gun metal grey

[Captain Peanut]

Looks really good, maybe a summer project for me too.

With teh wheels you could go a dark silver, like on the badges, or theres always the scooby style gold wheels.

[Dan1971]

Good effort ...

[Ritchy]

Personally I like subtle, a very small change like your lights can make a huge difference, it is easy to get carried away haha

Cheers mate, I think it's quite a subtle but aparrant change which is easy to do so give it a go bud. I don't really want to go black but was leaning more towards a graphite, gunmetal or darker silver.. We shall see.

Thank you, again it was easy to do as its just a adhesive cover. I may well agree on the darker silver but unfortunately I don't really think the gold would go as well imo. Only really like gold wheels if was the true colour.
Good idea though.

Good effort ...

Cheers dude :0)

I know what you mean, don't want to go ott with it so think I will prob go with the darker grey or gunmetal.
Looked at the car today and it's surprising how much the tinted indicators change the whole look of the front of the car..
