    Tail Lights:
    Im looking to get some rear lights the same as these :
    http://1.2.3.11/bmi/i357.photobucket...z/DSCF4208.jpg

    I read that they are Crystal Jewels with the bottem half tinted red ? Im not to sure if I trust myself tinting the lights myself after paying x amount of money for them.. so I was woundering if anyone has any for sale ? or if anyone can point me to a thread that will teach me how to tint them and then I might pluck up the courage to do it

    (Sorry havent reached 100 posts yet to look in the for sale section, not been on here for awhile :x)

    Door Badges:
    I am also looking to get some new VTR door badges for the side.. Looking at the one with the yellow 'R'. I was looking at getting them from this site and was curious if anyone else had used them ?

    Windscreen Wipers:
    Not too sure which ones to get, I have seen like flat wipers that make it look abit modern.. Also is there a certain size of wiper that fits Saxo's ? I dont want to be getting the wrong ones. Any URL's of best ones to get ?

    #############
    Thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated. URL's for anything helpful or pictures is very helpful aswel.

    Have you got pictures of some you have done ? Would be great to see them

    Another thing I forgot to post about was the clips that hold the interior door panels and the tail gate handle panel on. Are these the right ones ?

    Them clips for the door are perfectley fine.
    Smoking your rear lights is the easiest thing ever, if you done it wrong you can take it off straight after anyway.
    And for the windscreen wipers passenger side is 18" and drivers is 20" just check on ebay there like £7

    the door badges save your money on. i got same ones couple weeks ago. wasn;t impressed with quality at all. theres a recent thread topic as dnn signs in the problems section and james added links to better quality ones for same price. if he puts them on his car they must be good!!
    as above for wipers 18'' and 20'' very cheap off ebay for aero wipers either from redline or ace_parts.
    and tinting is easy mask off the part u don;t want to tint and spray the bit u do with the tint spray, if it messes up wipe off with thinners and try again, and theres always set of them going in ebay that aren;t labelled as clear jewels for about a tenner +p&p
