Pete, you'd better start flogging all of those "motorsport" fog light blanks you've got sitting up your back passage and eliminate the fog light brigade

Not that much of a family site, most of the 'younger' ones give as good as they get.

Well your physique wasn't as appetizing as my other offers. With the things you said about the 'sag', I didn't understand what you were on about, the leather on those seats in SidewaysScousers seats or something very precious to me :eek:

theres nothing wrong with us kids running around with our foglights on, it makes us look feel and it makes us look good.

BUT the rule is side lights and fogs only never head lights lol

i like that a lot, im stil so tempted to do mine. i dont care who else has done it, i like the idea of spraying over dirt rather than cleaning it.

E30BeemerLad, it would be a shame to paint this after the red paint came back so nicely after you applied t-cut. Is it really not worth saving the red paint?

seeing that batmobile looking satin black thing somehow makes me strangely want to paint mine satin black and slam it to the floor running stretched tyres on too-fat rims (honestly!) Soooo impractical- what would my neighbours/Mother/local Vicar say? :D
