hey guys

a couple of months ago i brought a pair of all red rear clusters off e-bay, and now, the left hand lens has faded to orange. im so pissed off, coz this really makes the car look shit!!

im located in the croydon area (south east london), and i was wondering if anybody knew of anywhere i could take the lens' to get them sprayed red again, or even if i could doctor it myself?

any help would be appreciated

I'd contact the eBay seller first!

Savage Tint Spray is what you need to do it yourself (it's not too hard) if you don't have any luck though - it's about a tenner for a can.

I use the stuff from Halfords. I've not had any fade at all...

Where do you get this 'Savage' spray from...?

I've seen it in almost all car shops that aren't Halfords...
