Smoking

[STOCKY]

Yesterday I decided to fit a few things Id been working on!

First a kind friend let me have there standard lights to hard a go at tinting them, giving them a light some! Using some rear light tinting spray I applied a few coats and fitted them to see how dark they looked on the car!

What you think? too many, not enough or just right!




Also I bought a set of smoked side indicators
Damn things dont fit as they are for a Leon or golf! Yet ETKA says they have the same part number! The bulb holder isnt big enough on the new set to accept the bulb!
Really wanted this to work as I really like them! But I will find a set to make it work!

Some weird guy gave me the lights a week or two back

Pics now fixed!

does that spray come off with thinners or something , or do u still have your original clusters , id try and get them as dark ( maybe we bit lighter) as the side repeaters you have there , i know u have the whole black thing going on , just to see wat its like ,


your right the part nums do match ,

I might get another can of the spray and do the rear lights darker and smoke the original indicators so I know they fit!

What's the finish like? I have heard they can be a bit matt after spraying.

Get them off!!!

They make a nice car look cheap and tacky mate!!

Maybe it's the chav in me but I like them

Umm, not too sure mate, i think the standard ones suit it much better, and looks nice and clean, rather than dirty. Get some clean bulbs for the side ones and it should look tickatyboo

There a pain in the ass to get off

Think there was a nice diagram in the ibiza manual! You push one side very very hard from what I remember.

 

[rashcupra]

if its the side repeater on the wings your on about to remove you just push towards the back of the car and simply lift out
