thanks mate! Overall I am very happy with the purchase, so far no nasty suprises.


yesterday I purchased new plates, which were needed in my opinion!

and I also plasti dipped the inner housing of the headlights :) spent some quality time with the oven.

Wow, that seems like an awful lot of bodywork to remove in order to get the headlights out! :shock:

The darker headlights look so much better on a black car - and your solution is MUCH cheaper than trying to source the smoked SE headlights.

yeah I googled how to remove the headlights, apparantelly you can take them off without removing the bumper, but no matter how hard I pushed it was to no avail. So I said screw it and took off the bumper. Lots of screws are involved.

yeah I agree! the whole process took about 4 hours or so
