BURT Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 the bonnet is a top secret but it came from whifbitz £780.00 inc the vat but even though it has its own bonnet catches on it i had to fit some pins to hold the corners down properly, other than that it does look the nutts and fits lovely..

BURT Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 no not really matey, just bought high temp paint, ie exhaust paint, can get it from anywhere really, (matt black) and will dry to simular finish to the rear lights, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIL Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Top Draw!! Lights look great. I really need to split one of my lights (usual foggy look) but dont want to end up making a `dogs breakfast` of it. Do you have any tips on going about this?

how_supra Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I like it - very subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURT Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 ok, you need , heat gun( one used for stripping paint) and a card board box approx' 2-3ft wide x 3-4ft long and about 1ft deep. take the metal clips off the headlight and place on tne floor, next to that put the heat gun ( do not point the heat gun directly to the light) turn the gun on and put the box over the top of them, leave them for about 15mins, the light will become very very hot once at the right temp use a thick blade or flat screwdriver to leaver them apart, once you have done what you want to the light reverse the process to re-heat the black seal and push them back together. then replace the clips that you removed , hey presto!! jobs a good'n' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Peace Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think that looks well good...I also think a red, yellow or Green car would look cool with colour coded lights too. I suggested this to Matt H coz his yellow Supra would look wicked with yellow light frames..but he told me i was If you look at the Corvette C6's they do that kind of thing as standard and Ferrari's I think...looks well good in my opinion..and I should know coz I'm Mr Tasteful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
