thanks for comments everyone

Gunna get the smoked indys 2morrow, so should look abit better then

if anyone wants to do their mk1 lights, i'd be happy to talk you through how i did it

7th March 2007, 23:50

got the ump now cos i thought i was individual by doing mine 1st, but people copy

**runs away from laptop crying**

8th March 2007, 00:04

ohhh made me feel bad about doing um now

8th March 2007, 00:12

Would look alot better with indicators done, but yeah does look quite good

8th March 2007, 00:17

looks tidy, like said above you just need the inidators done now, have you noticed any difference in light? im thinking of doing mine, but would do it to a spare set incase it ruins the main beam.

8th March 2007, 00:20

nope, the main beam is still fine

i can't really notice any difference in the lights to be honest]

gettin indys 2morrow hopefully

8th March 2007, 01:22

They looks the bollox! Get another pic or two up when you have the indicator fitted...i'm in 2 minds whether to do it to mine...dunno if it would look right on red, not only that i'd have to get the black crystal lights for the rear so it matches...hmm, but yeah looks well good!

8th March 2007, 01:31

Very nice, didn't think you could smoke mk1's

so this is the real reason for you looking to get a yellow gti lol!

9th March 2007, 00:18

i forgot to ask, what did you use to stick it all back together with and did you use gloss black paint? cheers dude

9th March 2007, 00:20

yes gloss black and u can either reheat the sealant and force them back together or scrape out old shit and use new sealant

9th March 2007, 11:34

i just used the old glue on mine, it can get messy though, be careful not to get it on the inside of the glass

and i got glue on my mums new oven mits, she was not happy haha

9th March 2007, 14:31

9th March 2007, 15:24

cant wait to get mine

9th March 2007, 21:16

how is this done, looks great, tempted to have a go myself

10th March 2007, 01:33

heat up the glue round the lens, pull it off carfully, then spray the bit inside whatever colour you want, then heat glue up and stick back together

pm me if you want more details on it

mmmmm

does look pretty. mines the lighter red. Only thing is i'd have to mess around getting new rear lights as lexus lights and smoked fronts would look bit odd.

cheers bud

10th March 2007, 10:02

Yh it would buddy i had lexus on before but changed over to smoked rear which makes the car look so less tacky!!

Bondie

10th March 2007, 10:35

Damn i want a MK1 again. Nice one mate they look mint

10th March 2007, 10:40

has the furio got more bhp than the west coast??

always wondered that, because the vtr after 1999 have more bhp don't they?

10th March 2007, 10:42

Nah, same engine same power mate. Only reason the VTRs got more power is cus they had to make a more restictive exhuast system because of new emission laws. But the 1.4 was ok.

The Westys are actually slightly faster than the Furios cus theyre a tiny bit lighter, were talkin 0.1-0.2 of a second tho. Some people reckon its a 1-2 second difference but thats crap imo havin driven em both

10th March 2007, 10:46

Thanks i always wondered about the 1.4's, i've tried to pass some rep your way for it, but don't know if it will let me

12th March 2007, 23:57

is it possible to do the indicators yourself instead of paying £20? they look bum

13th March 2007, 00:27

i found a shop on e-bay that sells them for 11.99 + postage GBK Performance....do they come with the "Sax-p Members Seal of Approval?"

13th March 2007, 16:17

Well i finally got round to spraying them... (dunno if this has worked?)

13th March 2007, 16:17

13th March 2007, 19:24

16th March 2007, 10:15

Yeah I think so! They have orange bulb which I think I might have to change for some chrome ones but other than that they blend with my handy work quite well hehe. i've just got to get some smoked rear lights now.

16th March 2007, 10:17

ive got morettes so doesnt really matter on my front lights

16th March 2007, 10:21
