all red rears now.....first time diy so not too bad

[eun]

i decided to have a go at spraying them myself and they turned out pretty well for first time.

i went for all red and sprayed the indicator and the reverse light

i think to make the indicators shine orange isnt it green bulbs im supposed to put in any advice welcome on that and tell me al your comments please.

ultimately in my opinion these are better than the mhw's cos i dont like the pinkness on those but thats just me.

after



a couple on car



let me know what you think?

cheers eun

they look really nice...

would they pass MOT?

i have not done my reverse lights but since looking at yours, i wana do mine

[Gouki]

well done mate, looks pretty good.

[dark_sounds]

sweet! big improvement,

[eun]

im not sure

i need to make the indicators go orange and im 90% sure you put green bulbs in to mae them orange

it doesnt make much difference anyway as my mot man is a good mate and im sure he'll over look it

his dad always lets him drive his 7 series i think its on a w or x plate and its loaded. its a v12 20 inch kahn rims phone limo black tints double glazed windows the lot...... its silver and its lovely

so he likes his beemers i think

Nice job mate. I tried giving mine a subtle smoke recently and they turned out crap! I'm usually pretty good with an aerosol(?) but I ended up cleaning off the tint and leaving them original. What make was the paint you used?

[Simon325i]

Sorry to go off topic but where did you get the number plates from?

Thanks,

Thanks,

i got them from dubmeister but i wouldnt advise them to be honest.

they sent me the wrong order twice and in the end i just gave up and settled with what they sent me.

try germanplates.com

[Simon325i]

Chwers for that.

They look great man, i might be in touch if i decide to have mine all red, im still deciding between that and smoked.

[Sparkysparks]

I smoked mine instead of the all red cus i couldnt find any red spray,



They're not too good for shining light through though, but they really work at nite, what they like for the all red

[mrLEE30]

sorry to say that green bulbs do not make the light appear yellow, i tried it.

looks good though, and for MOT simply change em for the day for standard lenses.

They look great

I sold a set that look just like that to a Zoner a while back.

I am about to use smoke MHWs on mine. Just got to get them out of the box.

Nice job mate, looks good.

[Lee_Coupe]

Eun mate after I did my indicators red I just used orange bulbs from coopers couple of quid look more orange than red, been pulled a few times for speeding and they've never mentioned my rear indicators!

Look good enough tbh.

I used red tinting spray on mine Ԛ£9.99 at coopers

[Pal318is]

Looks like you've done a really decent job there bud, they do look the part.

I have a set of the Red MHW's and must admit they do have that slightly pinky look to them but they do still look the nuts too..

Nice job

Pal

[Splondike]

Nice one they look excellent mate, how many coats did you do ? I did two when I did mine on the sport but I just left the indicators white as I was not sure about red reversing lights..

[TW166Y]

they look wicked mate, very nice improvement! some no doubt will query them but i like them buddy, good job

[snooka]

really nice done, i couldn't find transparant red paint so i painted them black with a special spray, red is really the nicest, bu if you want to buy them they cost 440€ over here
