their slightly lighter red than the normal lights... and they don't reflect... at all.

Ah right that just made up my mind the listing for these is very misleading then as it says reflectors about 10 times, these will be going back. Shame as looking at the lighting on your car I was defiantly warming to them

Another quick update, just finished putting the interior back together after I had the rear windows tinted today. Obviously you "need" tinted rear windows when you have a baby so they don't get sun in their eyes in the amazing summers we have in Cumbria hehe

Please excuse how dusty the car is it was immaculate when I dropped it off for tinting but it has been parked outside his workshop all afternoon next to some joiners who has covered it in dust

15% rear tint:

inside when it has started to go dark, still plenty of vision

brutal, ridiculous things. Its why i sent them back, plus way too much lighting at the back with brakes on.

 

Received a refund the seller wasn't even aware they didn't reflect light!

Another quick update, fitted a rhino lip splitter on Friday evening / Saturday morning, was only supposed to take an hour according to the seller but actually took over 3 hours to get it bob on.

Now I know this mod wont be to everyone's taste especially on here but I'm really happy with it, gives the look I wanted and also want crack on look tatty if it touches something. I will be fitting these underline skirts to match http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360832554583?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Few photos so you can see what you think

I think it looks good with the colour of your car...  It doesn't stick out too much or make a fuss of itself.  Also, faultless professional install as usual - you really are a true craftsman!

Looks great IMO, just watch out for those kerbs and sleeping policemen!

Thanks that's a best bit though i honestly think this stuff could drag along the floor or kerb and just bend without doing any damage to it or the bumper. That's the claim it makes and touching it i can see why its very durable and very strongly mounted to the bumper

Looks pretty good! How is it attached? Drilling required or does it utilise some of the bolts already present underneath?

Thanks, no new fixing are required unable to make use of any of the original fixings, the splitter uses a screw and flat plate washer system that presses right along the length or the splitter so it doesnt droop and is very secure.

Hello
 
Can I please I get a few opinion on front grill surround colours, I'm not a huge fan of the current chrome, other options I am looking at is colour coded which was kindly photoshopped for me or gloss black like can be seen on the attach ISF grill in the same colour. I am also tempted to have the chrome window surrounds on the side of the car wrapped in gloss black too.
 
Any opinions and advice welcome please. Thanks

You can't stop tinkering, can you? :smile:

In my humble opinion, the black grill surround is much better than the colour coded one.

Not really sure either way on the door chrome to be honest.

No mate its always been an obsession having a tinker around with my cars.

Thanks for the feedback

As far as the chrome on the sides go this is obviously the next IS but gives a bit of an idea how it will look

Well, having seen the before and after of the door surrounds, I actually like it either way.  Big help I know :smile:

I suppose it depends on whether you want to go for the complete de-chrome look or not?

Yeah I like the look of the sides without the chrome think it works well. I'm just not a big fan of chrome, but not sure if removing it removes a bit of the detail and it looses something.

At least if I only have it wrapped I can always remove it, its a complete waste of money but at least its all still under there where as if I paint it there no going back

Ill be honest I kind of like the colour coded grill surround but cant be 100% on it this picture gives a bit of a feel for how a colour coded will may look and I really like it, Im not a fan of the slotted grill I much prefer the mesh of the F-Sport but still gives the right idea of how it may look colour coded

Personally I'd keep the chrome, I think it works well on the darker colours.

If you really want to loose the chrome then maybe go for a smoke, something similar to your alloys.

See i like that I'm not one for removing number plates but the colour coded grill works on yours for sure
