you lot are giving more reasons to spend money on my coupe!

been offline for a bit, laptop problems, i will get some pictures loaded up tomorrow

they look fantastic!!! is it black chrome??
even the terminator would be proud!!

got round to taking some pics, took them with my phone so quality is not great.







also the light was fading a bit, but the paint match to the body work is perfect, i will take some more pics with my camera when i get round to charging it

Looks really good!!

yeah im impressed, i was unsure about doing them to start with so i got a spare set of lights, that way i could change back if i did not like them, i only think they look good with certain colours thow. i have seen a yellow coop round my area with them painted and i dont like them at all, thats why i was unsure about doing mine. but i guess its personal prefrence so im not having a dig at any yellow coop owners with painted lights.

i colour coded the lights on my old porto and they looked great and am currently doing a set for the new porto, might even do a bit this week

i have seen a porto with them done and i like them, i think they look better on matalic coops or black coops, but once again personal prefrence.

Niff - that's a great job. They look stunning

Niff, they look quality, very subtle mod which really does show off the cars lines nicely.

cheers everyone, they do look spot on. i would be happy to help anyone who needs help to paint there lights

very nice job niff , makes the coupe front end look alot nicer in my eyes .

Makes me miss my colour coded lights!

its ok i have some in my boot that i can do sprinty for you i'll only charge you 150 for them

really good mod for a few £, paint and primer cost less then £10.

it was well worth the time and effort at that price then Niff

yeah deffinatley, not really much effort apart from getting the light cover off the lights themselfs, and after getting the hang of it on the first one the second only took 10 mins using the heat gun method.

Does the seal around the headlight cover get reused?
Or do you use new silicon to reseal it?
And what brand/type silicon?

For the best results you should remove the old seal so the lens fits back properly and just apply a new seal then push the lenses on the use some masking tape to allow the seal to set.

yes i removed the old seal with a stanley knife and applyed new seal, i used a black guttering type seal from wickes. i also fitted the lights straight after sealing, once bolted back on to the bonnet there is more than enough force to keep the lens pressed down untill the seal goes off. The guttering type seal top layer sets in minutes so its water tight and then over the space of a few hour it totaly cures. They have been on the car nearly a week and there toatlly sealed, no water or condensation at all

Brill, a trip down Wicks it is

guess I might be turning my kitchen into a spray booth tonight then as this thread has got me wanting to get mine finished and fitted for christmas

Yes they are
Cheap to chrome here, cost like 30 quid for each side, can do also other chrome but as I've got a black 20VT, so didn't consider other options.

they do look excellent, like liquid metal!! suits your coupe very well

they look top notch nice work

They look ace, however, how are they protected against anyone or anything smashing them?

If you look at the other headlight, it looks like there is a cover on it. Perhaps the photo is just to show what it looks like without any reflection from the cover??
