put 5mm spacers on the front, need to order different shaped bolts for the rears(10mm spacer)

fitted the rear spoiler and ran boot wires,

Stunning mate. Just stunning. Looks like a top quality job mate.

Can't wait to see it in it's full glory.

 

[Gooner_Mike]

tinted the rear lights and fitted them,

What did you use to tint the lights mate?

 

[Nef]

was probably either tint spray or tinting film could be wrong, but its usualy one or the other.

 

[ScottHmk4]

it'll be tint spray, can be found in halfrauds i think aswell as local auto shops

Can get it on ebay aswell, you will pay double and halfords though.

i always make my own,

first i scotch them with grey scotch, prekleen, then apply a coat of plastic adhesion promotor. then i thin down black solvent paint, so its super thin, give it the desired coats then i just clear coat the lights completely.

That's why I asked... didn't expect you to go for the easy "off the shelf" option. Looks like a very subtle tint... I like!

 

[Zara]

WOW!!! That is stunning
