To much bling!

Postby trader » Mon Jan 15, 2007 4:41 pm

Hi fellas...this is my first post although I've been around awhile and made the odd comment. I've had the altezza tail lights for some time now and have found them just too blingy on the malibu gold although I dont mind them on Laguna blue, red or black. Was looking at buying a set of NC taillights and shoehorning them into the altezzas which would have looked fantastic but in the end it was going to cost too much. Having a quiet weekend l ripped them apart and painted parts of them. Am pretty happy with the outcome although it was lot of fiddly work...might have to carry my old ones in the boot to satisfy Mr Plod!

I think they look pretty good trader.
By the way, the heading should read \"Too much bling\", not To much bling.

I'll be around the eastern suburbs this weekend- I'll keep my eye out for you (though it's never hard to spot a Malibu!)
