Looks ace!

Looks good, particularly like the headlights, much better than those morrette things.

theyre normal headlights mate, i oven baked them for 10 minutes to open them up then painted all the chrome inside satin black then resealed them! Theyve changed the whole look of the front end im chuffed with them, specially since it was a DIY mod and didnt cost anything but a £1 tin of sating black paint

Should have done a how to, look good

Theres tons of how too's on the headlight mod mate, its really simple just preheat oven to 100 degrees, stick one headlight in for 8-10 minutes to let the glue melt, take it out and prize the headlight apart at the join using a flat head screwdriver, when its apart the horrible chrome inside just unscrews out and you can prime and paint it, put it all back in and remelt the seal with a heatgun, to join the headlight back together again, i also ran a bead of sealant round the join aswell just to make sure they didnt leak or get condensation. i then ran a machine polisher over the lens to bring back the shine, job done! repeat the process on the 2nd headlight takes about an hour from start to finish for each headlight

How did you dye the door card fabric?

i masked it off then sprayed them using Autoglym black dye. 2 coats and they went from blue to jet black and look like they came black from the factory, its fantastic stuff and cheap as chips, only around £6 for a large tin!
im going to give the inside a good hoover and dye the horrible grey carpets black aswell so they all match and look brand new!

That looks really smart, ten times better than any decals.

Definately... Well i only put the decals on in the first place to promote my graphics business which it did well then i bought a van and use that now instead. Im over the moon with the car
