ahh, yeah... me stupid :cuckoo: cheers!!

it is pretty quick and easy... do it on OEM standard lights...; 1/ using a stanley blade (only) run it along all the risen bits on the lights and chip them off (£2 odd anywhere) 2/ sand down with 400 (medium) wet and dry grit paper (£2 from halfords) 3/ sand down with 800 (fine) wet and dry grit paper (£2 from halfrods) 4/ wash down lights and mask them up (£1 for masking tape) 4/ spray lights with "savage red light tint" spray, do a few coats, take your time and do correct motions (£8 ebay etc) 5/ spray lights with a coat or 2 of laquer (£7 odd halfords etc) 6/ fit back to your car and admire!! then you could paint your indicator bulbs green so they light up orange... its not hard, just takes a little while, but they do come up good!! give it a go, for 20 odd quid its worth it!! the hard part is spraying them, take your time and do it right first time, GOOD LUCK!!
-
dont start, im worried enough about how my resprays going to turn out!! the sooner its done the better...
-
ok kool, thanksl!! :D so, im thinking (with new paint)... clean the wheels first wash car with the snow, leave for a min quick sponge over jet wash off spray on last tounch detailer when still wet towel off stand back and admire!! am i right in saying there is no need to polish it at first? just a good clean and wax to protect it... then after 6 months or so will add a polish in there...
