yearh i agree super s bumpers are worth waiting for. as for the rear lights did you tint them when it was wet or cold? that could be the reason.

cheers guys!
 
cheers guys, lol i was waiting for that when i sprayed my spoiler i did it on a plastic sheet and i used it to cover the lights yesterday when i tinted them and i was too lazy to brush the flakes of paint off lmao
 
after a few things i found nail polish remover brought it straight off with no mess and left a lovely gleaming undersurface ready to be re tinted :p
 
will have to try that as ive got some preface lift lights id like to fit to my micra.but have spray tint on them
 
Car looks boss mate, liking some of your ideas and may have to take them :p
I think spraying your console gives a quality effect - keep up the good work mate!!
 
my rear light tints came out the same darkness as your (judgeing from the pic) i wasnt sure they would be legal hence why i removed them? have you been ok driving with them?
 
yer mate its been fine, even been passed traffic police and nothing so yer see how it goes :)
should be ok because you can still see the light throught it fine
 
if anything i think mine are to dark

so i need to try find some reflectors to stick else where

u had a go at removing the badges on the rear or you just keeping them on ?
 
ive not had a go yet but i know petrol works well i think im gonna remove them soon!
also bought a performance panel filter not arrived yet lol and an ashley back box :D
cant wait for them to come ill post pics up of fitting and stuff when they arrive
thinking on getting some speedline alloys aswell like moddeds
 
fitted panel filter makes a nice difference :D
