sTeVe-O Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 first i took the front bumper part off that is need to get to the last bolt of the lights (annoyingly)then chucked em in the oven on gas mark 1 for 10 mins to melt the sticky sealantthen i pulled the lens away from the rest of the light and got out the chrome ring from inside and sanded it up using 600grade wet&dry.then i sprayed it with the coats of satin black spray paint from hellfrauds.then bashed it back in the oven for 10 to get the sealant sticky again, and pushed em back together.voila.and heres one of the new rearswhat yer reckon?

heartagram Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 yeah two pop studs at each end and clipped along the bottom.how did you do your indicators heartagram? same way? or did you spray the actual lens?Exactly the same way but you have to be more careful with the indicators. I nearly melted the actual lens to the casing. Which would have been impossible to break apart I heated them up lightly then used a scalpel to kind of cut the old rubber seal holding them together. That way I didn't really risk breaking anything or over heating the plastic so it misshaped or out like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
