Oh I know you tinted the lenses. Just didn't know if it was for looks or purpose.
But now I'm guessing looks so the lenses tinted makes more sense!

I always use my fogs, put them on with my high beam and switch them off with the high beam. I like the extra light they give for the verges on country roads. I would like to see if I could buy a HID kit and use a relay from the high beam to them. Would be good :)

Yeh they possibly were the same set! They arrived today and are at the tyre fitters having the 215-45-17 tyres taken off.

Also ordered some new genuine carbon center caps for them as the standard ones wernt perfect. The wheels dont have 1 mark on the faces, just need a nice polish on the lips and polishing and waxing on the painted centers. The only marks on them are behind the wheel where the laquer on the barrels lifts up abit due to water getting in. Cant see any of that from the front though so im very happy with the purchase!

Hopefully get a test fit on the go tonight if i can get into my gf's garage and she doesnt shout at me too much for paying the car attention and not her!haha then ill just need to order some tyres! In a good few months ill get them refurbed in a different colour i reckon :)

Liking those wheels!

Also on the fogs, I have been going to do mine for ages, I thought about a yellow film, but then thought that might not work... How did you do yours, they look great!

Cheers matey :) Erm if you google a company called lamin-x, they sell tinting film, its really great stuff. Think the size i got was the 9.99 bit of film then couple of quid delivery, but you get a squidgy and a craft knife. Then its as simple as sticking it on the fogs and smoothing it out as you stick it. You can use a hairdryer to soften the stuff but i didnt bother with the fogs cos they are a fairly simple shape. then you just cut around them with the knife. Also when i took them out i cleaned them up real good and polished the lenses and de-greased them. Took about an hour to do then i left them in my roof for a couple of days to cure. Glad you like them :)

Not sure if yours is diffrent to mine with the different bumpers but i just took the grills off each side then there is 3 screws holding each one in, just undo them, pull it out and unplug the connector, jobs a goodun!
