Minor tweaks.
 
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

Then back together with the new "moody" look

Hope is of some interest,
Craig :thumbsup: ;0)

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 25-03-12 10:15 PM

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 25-03-12 10:30 PM

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 25-03-12 11:01 PM

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.
