erm.....could someone help me out?

[vRS Dovit]

Well, i've looked at a good few Fabia's that have "black headlights" so i've decided to do it

Problem is, i'm not confident in doing it, so was wondering if there's anyone local(ish ) to me that could do it or at least help me out?

Cheers folks:thumbup:

I done this to my last car, albeit, a cavalier. Always fancied doing mine, but would like to do it on a spare pair of lights so just incase it all goes tits up, my car isnt off the road...

[vRS Dovit]

So there's at least four of us wanting to do this..........

Surely SOMEONE out there must be able to help out???

[Jabbasport]

It's really easy to do, if people wanted them doing would they be able to take them off the car and post them for quick turn around or is that a no no?

[Lofty86]

Id like them too, but my car is a dayly driver.

Jabba, are you offering to do them?

Could you get a set from a scrappy and do them, send them to me and ill send mine back for the next person?

Kindof like a surcharge type thing.

Seeing as there are 4 of us (and all local-ish) i think ill have a bash first, as soon as I have been MOT'd/paid

Easy job, take off the 4 clips, heat in the oven on lowest temp for about 5 min and peel light apart. Remove chrome section, paint and refit.

Put back in oven to make glue soft agin and press back together and reclip.

I have a spare pair of the chrome bits that need painting if anyone wants them at a sensible price

Sounds a good idea, but dont know if he'll be able to do it.

Briskoda group painting session then?

In a roundabout sort of way .... your car is the reason mine is being painted purple Mudpuppy. It was my inspiration kinda

Well in that case I'm glad I could help out

Is that with me going for the satin black theme? Because I might not have finished yet!

[missp]

The front grille on yours inspired me to think about mine... which lead onto thinking about the whole car and as such "Purple mayhem" commenced

[Disco_Mikey]

Could turn it into a mini-meet

[vRS Dovit]

lol all of us armed with paint lol we'd just need a heat source

Quite sure we could use Kay's engine bay as it'll be like an oven the way she drives

Sorry Kay

:eek: :eek:

Hmm.....anyways I'll be offline for the rest of the week now (going on tour again :() so I'll catch up with this on Friday most likely. But I have plenty of paint ready anyway

[vindaloo]

As Ninja Alex has a spare set of the surrounds/inserts, the masking/sanding/painting can be done before attempting surgery on the lights. It becomes a "remove chrome bit, insert black or ANOther purple colour bit"

On a similar note, I wonder if the headlight parts have separate parts numbers and can be ordered from a dealer.
