Looks good! I'm tempted to do my headlights and c wot they look like
Headlights look good with them on (from a distance) but be advised that they DO cut down on the light that gets through them. I used to have them fitted but removed a couple of winters ago after getting fed up struggling to see. :)

Maybe something to look into for summer use only then

Cheers, looks good! Did you do your headlights too?

No didn't do the head lights as they do take the edge off of the light output.. I actually fitted some 6w Xenon filled Osram w5w (501) size bulbs on the inner rear lights just to get the rears output up a little from the standard fit 5w bulbs.. Although it's not really nessesary..

Cost of the Flyeye kit was around a tenner and I did my rears in about 45 mins..

Just one word of advice, they suggest you fit them within a couple of days of the kit arriving for best results as the adhesive is applied to the perferated vinyl before they are dispatched.. So I'd suggest ordering within a few days of being able to fit them..

Did you take the lights off or just leave them on the car?

One of my favourite colours. I miss having a track grey one sometimes, but white always wins :)

Good thing too is that it never looks THAT noticeably dirty in grey. But beware of tar spots that you can't see unless you get close

I initially went to look at one in white but it was in a right state, this one popped along and the colour really grew on me straight from than.. never considered it before.

It's already filthy lol it's going to have a GOOD wash this week but thanks for the heads up mate.

Was going to change headlight and sidelight bulbs but iv noticed recently once warmed up my headlights are alot whiter than my sidelights which are yellowy so i think they may have already been upgraded
Anybody recommend any good sidelights, error free ones! There was a topic on here about it. But after a few searches i cant find it anywhere
