Just sprayed the after trying to get them out for a couple of hours.

This guide made it easy http://briskoda.net/technical-guides/how-split-headlights-painting/135520/

Nothing has broken yet so hopefully by tommorow I will have some pics with them on.

good work mate, will be doing this myself in a couple of weeks time

Good to see someone else giving it a try.

Looking forward to seeing it on the blue Fabia.

Looks good

Glad you didnt spray them blue

Andy - Hurry up and get bored of your angel eye lights n your front grille :P lol

They look really smart! Tie's everything in together nicely! Your motors coming on leap and bounds, seems you've done something new every time I log on

I keep giving this mod some thought, and I reckon I'd be ok at getting them out but the only thing that concerns me is the quality of seal when they get reassembled, how did you find it? Doesn't the glue dry out?

I'm just worried I'd end up with condensation in the lens come next winter.

Thanks

Good point. lol

It's easy to get together and they've got pretty tight clips on.

Come to think of it I could of heated up the glue again to make it easier and seal it evan better.

Hmmmmmmmmm... ..

Sounds like I may have to do this then at some point.. but I dunno, my cars black so might do em a different colour.. we'll see I guess.

Got your blue badge yet?

Looking good. Get a photo from further away tho.

fabiash: Did you just spray them with gloss black, or did you laquer them?

How meny coats of paint did you do?

reflex88: Black cars look good with an off cream (tanned cream is the only way I can think of describing the colour).

Looks very Euro'ish.

I did mine in Jan a fiddly job but well worth it. You can get them off ebay but they are about £90 quid. It cost me £1.50 for paint and a little time. I used plastic primer and matt black paint for mine.

Which do people prefer the look of, matt or gloss?

Bare in mind my grill surround is going gloss black soon.

Decided not to get it as it wasn't a blue badge it was just a normal badge but faded!

I just put 3 coats of paint on after sanding it.

No primer or lacquer as it isn't going to be scratched as it is sealed.

I used matt black from halfords!

Nice work.

Looks good against the blue.

Mine are gloss and make a difference to the look (cheers Andy son :thumbup) and will match up well when i do the grille again.................

Better Picture!
