Will be carrying on the project post with some pics of the tinted rear lenses later on. Not overly pleased with how they came out, the lacquer looks poo! :doh:

they dont look too bad, least it gives you a starting point and if you decide to redo them you'll know how to do it the way you want ;)

tbh mate I'll look out for some RS accessory ones when I have abit more money. Theyre a lovely set of lights and I think they'd suit a white car well :)

Going to attack them lights tonight and see what I can do! Need to sort out what primer and paint I need to buy aswel! Got front and rear bumper, side skirts, wheel arches, rear spoiler and mirrors to paint :look:

I think as the car is white you will need white primer....maybe plastic primer. The colour is obviously diamond white.....and then just need some clear lacquer. I would order it from Paints4U.com as halfords match is shit


Let me know if you need some help with the spraying. I've just done part of mine as when i took off the plate holder it left a deep mark and i wanted to put on my import plate:

Never sprayed anything before apart from those rear lenses, and look what happend to them :lol:

My older brother is supposed to be giving me a hand, but he runs his own business and lives 45mins drive away so I'm not sure when that will be. Looking to get this all done before I pass my test so will need to get a jog on. My step dad might be able to help too so with a bit of luck I'll be fine. Just need to crack on and get all the paint etc brought.

I'm abit worried about that myself, I think itll look fine painted, with the XR2i spoiler on and a subtle 3"/3.5" pipe out of the back. I dont want it looking like a boy racer car, at the same time no wayy and I only playing music through crappy standard front speakers :hsugh:
