the £30 spraycan didn't match the colour at all, so the hub cap project was a total waste!

Had a quick test run today and cracked my right rear wheel bearing! Allways something, isn't there? Seemed to be around £170..

In some situations I think the look to light and dull.
So off they came, atleast most of 'em!

Also decided to have a go at redoing the tiniting of the rear lights.

Look at that ghost! :lol:
My mate had an idea that it would work with only the inner lights tinted, so we had a go at this. Im not sure how it turns out, we'll see tomorrow!

Kinda remind me of an old vauxhall or something.. :p
I will not be keeping the rear lights this way.

Allthough I had to redo one of the fog light surrounds, the front grilles turned out as I hoped. Really nice- I think the matte black looks way better then the grey..

The upper centre one is still grey as I'm not done with it yet..! ;) :whistle:

I plan on doing my front grills also, I'm not sure whether to go with matte or gloss black. Yours turned out well.
As for the rear lights, they don't look right to me either. I'm thinking of just tinting the white bits, reverse and indicator lights, but I'm not sure how I'd go about this.
Right now I'm spending all my money on maintenance instead of mods!

Ok, thanks!
I went with matte black due to the structure, and didn't want it shiny.
Rear lights will be cleaned as soon as I find the time. And when I do them next time I'll darken the white bits before tinting it all..!

About 21 hours ago I became the father of a perfect little girl. she was in such a hurry that she was born on our own bathroom floor! Even though it all was a bit hectic and dramatic a period, all is well with everyone!
