good work on the indicators, did look a right mess before but not one of those things that would bother you till you've changed them

very true lee. i had never really noticed them until another guy posted pictures of his cut down, then they stuck out like a sore thumb

getting these fancy led rear lights to work will be a bit of a mission. they require programming and also a facelift bumper painted sterling grey (a colour which wasn't available on facelifts).

iirc you can fit them to a pre-facelift rear bumper but there will be a gap as the profile of the light unit is different, so i'll give them a test fit at the weekend and see what i need to do to fit them properly.

finally finished these bloody indicators today. was having trouble locating it properly and glueing them together.





also got some plastic screw covers from ebay (50 for £1.48) and painted them using my touch up stick. looks better than holes in the front bumper.



i found some gloss black vinyl at the weekend but seem to have mis-placed it. was going to wrap the a-pillars.

I was going to wrap my a pillars matte black when I had my mate do my grille but decided against it.

I could do with some covers to hide my holes in the bumper but I have two holes either side so would look silly I think.

Still waiting for my new indicators to arrive, I just want to get them cut down, smoked and then fit!
Got some PIAA wiper blades too. There fecking amazing

Got them from demon tweeks. There fantastic. Silent and the water just beads off. Worth the price tag.
