led rear lights fitted. tinted them with e-tech tint spray for the stealth look. think i went too dark though, might re-do them at some point to a grey\brown tint level. going out to put the rear decal on now
yer, no i havent yet, need to find my rubber grommits in the garage to help hold it in place. ill fit them when ive got the wheels back off to do the pad retaining clips on the calipers

Those brakes look so good!! I'm not a fan of the lights though but that's just me, Have you thought about just tinting a section maybe?
iam sooo undecided on the lights too mate, think it cheapens it. i like my old lights better. i might give them a lighter tint and see what that looks like tbh. iam after a oem tint look to go with the stealth theme, like them pictured
but coming along nicely, like the

You're right there, it does cheapen it IMO. It's partially why I took mine off because it looks like what a 17 year old would do on his first car.... The LED bit looks good though, You won't be able to get a tint like that will you? That's more tinted plastic, rather than putting a tint on a plastic?
yes its tinted plastic and they dont make anything like that for the mk1 leon, but thats really what iam after. dont think iam gonna achieve what i want from tint spray
Don't give up, go on eBay.de and .es is Spain I think, they have thousands of different products and sellers are usually big so send overseas.

joys of having garage means you can bugger about at 3am lol
changed the tint design again, masked off what i wanted to keep and used e-tech tint remover to reveal some red bits, breaks the black down abit and will still go with my black wheels red caliper theme. still not 100% happy but its better
