    Go to halfords and they do it there £12.99 a can think mine was. Did them 4 a m8 but you gota be carful coz the last set he sprayd got noticed by the POLICE WOOP WOOP and he got fined 60 and a 7day wonderd lol the trick is to do it slowly spray it on in thin layers, you will probly need 2-3 can just toi be safe but you wnt use it all. Apply and le tdry do this 2-3 times then reconnect and make sure you can see the reflector if you can keep going as close as your dare. You can always put the stick on ones on if you f**k up but even they wnt save you from a fine if the are to dark

    Best ov luck bud

    When spraying them yourselves they're almost always gonna be illegal and pretty shoddy looking anyways.

    You're best off just buying some Ultra smoked ones off ebay which look alot better.

    well there not legal if you dont fit the reflector that comes with them, but nobody fits them

    tinting spray is the best thing, check simons_vtr's out, he sprayed the clear bit on his mk2 and look spot on and totally uniqiue
