Bloody marvellous...

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

No, but I must do that sm56 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
