These look class. Must resist temptation....

How much did they cost to be done in that colour out of interest?

Hi, thanks yes I'm really pleased with them.

They cost me 60 sobs per wheel plus the tyre removal and refit matey.

Outfit called Aerocoat near St Olaves, Gt Yarmouth. Quick turn around too.

I was considering fly eyes on mine too

I tried ages ago but failed as I just couldnt get it to sit nice and flat. Want to take the headlights out to do them properly.

I'll get some up tonight mate, read a few threads saying HIDS will help with light lost and they give out less heat so don't have to worry about melting the the viynl !

Nice one, I've been trying to get some Xenons off a scrap FR but not having any luck getting a reply.

Didn't get chance last night to get pics, I'll get some up tonight.

I put it on in situ was easy enough, take your time and use the other half's hair dryer lol Just be careful not to heat it up too much or it will stretch and look wrong

Did you start in the middle or at one end? I had creases all over and eventually ripped it and got mad haha :censored:

I started in the middle I guess mate, I cut out a piece with I'd say 3" all round extra to pull on. I'd pull the back sheet off and stick it on the headlight after its been cleaned.

And yeah your right there's creases all over that's where the hair dryer is good! Heat it up and start with the biggest creases pealing the film off and gently pulling the creases out flattening them down to the head light with your thumb? I learnt from YouTube absolute life saver laminex have some good videos for their tiny films very simular methods to apply it just different look

Tried to get pictures but it doesn't do it justice. The lights look bright but they're really not, I can look straight at them head on and theres no glare. Same brightness as sidelights

Yep.......!!

I do find it odd though that I've still got three 6 year old factory fitted bearings and am now on my third O/S/R bearing! Probably because most tracks I do are anti clockwise!


Yeah and roundabouts aswell pal.


Edit: ignore the above you said osr lol
