Got one reversing light now, future project is fitting a fog at the right hand side.

Always liked all-red light clusters since Audi facelifted the 80 back in the day!

Have you decided against the Aston style?

by **colm_mcm** » Wed Sep 03, 2008 10:02 pm

yeah, too much like hard work for now! this was actually the first step required for that job anyway

Tidy job! I like the symmetry myself but it's got the 'stock' look.

Are you putting in a more powerful bulb in the single reverse light?

Very nice, think this look suit the silver car in particular.

looking good colm..

just out of interest - is that plate strictling speaking not for show-use only?
I know it has all the letters and stuff on there but would the local law-enforcement unit not take exception to it not having the EU thingie and the small writing with where it's from in Irish?

I did mine a few years ago also as I am not a fan of the bright orange indicators. Only difference is that I also lightly tinted the full reverse light lenses as well, as I didn't see a 'real' need to leave it clear.

Only thing is that the tint fades over time and you need to re-do - even with the high quality Foliatec tint spray

at €5.99 a can in Vinny Byrnes, it's isn't going to break me!

Haven't been pulled over for anything, I think the main issue is lack of EU flag,
They can't do you for not having the county name in Irsh.

If I was acting the maggot and doing burnouts, speeding through playgrounds, or blasting dance music with thwe windows down, they might pull me over and give me a fine for the plate, but as it is I can't see them giving me hasle over it, it's the correct font and size for a Jap plate, fair enough the spacing is out a bit, but it's legible.

I have a proper one in the boot somewhere anyway.
