[squarepants]

yearh i agree super s bumpers are worth waiting for. as for the rear lights did you tint them when it was wet or cold? that could be the reason.

 

[frank]

[Makrakin08]

[Optispart]

cheers guys, lol i was waiting for that when i sprayed my spoiler i did it on a plastic sheet and i used it to cover the lights yesterday when i tinted them and i was too lazy to brush the flakes of paint off lmao

 

[Makrakin08]

lol haha i thought you had reversed over some one or somthing!

 

[Optispart]

hahah!

 

[b47to]

good work and how did you remove the paint ?

 

[Optispart]

after a few things i found nail polish remover brought it straight off with no mess and left a lovely gleaming undersurface ready to be re tinted

 

[b47to]

will have to try that as ive got some preface lift lights id like to fit to my micra.but have spray tint on them

 

[Optispart]

yer should work!

 

[Makrakin08]

Nail polish remover is the best !! always got a bottle in my car ( not for cleanin nails obv )

 

[Optispart]

lmao yer its great

 

[Scouse boy]

Car looks boss mate, liking some of your ideas and may have to take them
I think spraying your console gives a quality effect - keep up the good work mate!!

 

[squarepants]

my rear light tints came out the same darkness as your (judgeing from the pic) i wasnt sure they would be legal hence why i removed them? have you been ok driving with them?

 

[Optispart]

yer mate its been fine, even been passed traffic police and nothing so yer see how it goes
should be ok because you can still see the light throught it fine

 

[b47to]

if anything i think mine are to dark

so i need to try find some reflectors to stick else where

u had a go at removing the badges on the rear or you just keeping them on ?

 

[Optispart]

ive not had a go yet but i know petrol works well i think im gonna remove them soon!
also bought a performance panel filter not arrived yet lol and an ashley back box
cant wait for them to come ill post pics up of fitting and stuff when they arrive
thinking on getting some speedline alloys aswell like moddeds

 

[Optispart]

fitted panel filter makes a nice difference
also fitted my ashley backbox sound AMAZING! in love lol
will post few pics up and a video!

 

[Stani1029]

have you lacquered your rear lights, maybe thats why theyre turning out grey and dull???

 

[Optispart]

Backbox on!

Well as promised heres a small update with some pics

Firstly i got a K&N panel filter and it made the world of difference instead of the cone sounds good aswell not loud or anything just a slight different tone then my ashley backbox came:

Love it

Then i started to fit and it was really messy and cold fingers lol

Once it was on it sounds amazing, and im really happy with the result!

Next on my list is to get a manifold possibly a janspeed

cant wait oh and my new mud flaps from antony arrived today
