what you think?

unfortunatly theres a noticeable black line around where the old front grilles went, so im going to have to try and get rid of it by washing it off or using bodyshop rubbing mix... and if i cant do it ill just have to put the old ones back in

looks alot better mate

nice mod...i also realised your headlamps where the orange indicator normally is, how did you change that?

 

[rlees85]

i wrote a guide for it in members only section, i tried to email you it but it wont let me. basically you have to take the headlights out, put them in the oven at 100c untill the glue loosens, remove the glass cover and take the yellow things out. then re-seal by heating the glue again and pressing it back together.

thats very, very subtle. Took me a while to work out the difference :laugh:

yeah that looks good, but im going the other way around so i can cut the middle out and shove some mesh in there :grinning:

 

[Ems]

Took me ages to work it out too!!! Haha

i assume im the only one who cant tell what the fuss is about??

 

[rlees85]

its very subtle, look at the silver grille, its different on the second pic!

 

[babyboom]

i just thought of asking, do you still have the original grills and are you willing to part with them???

 

[rlees85]

yep and yep! but i think it would be cheaper to get them from a scrap yard then to pay me to send them

 

[Ben]

oh right! when you said subtle you werent kiddin

[babyboom]

hey rlees85, i managed to get some grills, one of my pals got a micra in his garage for sale, so he badgered his boss to swap them over for me :grinning: :grinning: :grinning:

 

[rlees85]
