Bloody marvellous...
Looks like it's quite difficult getting the old amber lens off judging by the amount left behind?!

You need to be quite careful, yes. Pics on the car required!

Says that foggy has already stripped some lights down ready for the lense swap, you can picture it now all layed out on his desk waiting for the delivery. just so he can be proper pimp and be the first in the UK!!!!!

No, but I must do that
That statement dates back to last year, when I got about halfway to testing a ghetto clear lens using a re-moulded flourescent light diffuser. Ghetto? Me?
Jesting aside, seperating these things cleanly takes some serious care.

Looking good - I expect it'll look a lot nicer in a picture without a flash though. Also, what on earth is the colour of that car, is it a respray? Lovely colour anyway!

No date at the moment, beyond that I'm expecting delivery in a couple of weeks time.
I think it's the same colour as your car Steve, with a sprayed bumper, and some flash wash-out.
cheers
