Are they yellow now then? Personally not to my taste I want all my lights bright white, but how was it cutting to size, sounds like a nightmare from what I have heard but want to do mine.

yep yellow tint...never ever have them on so its only for the look..if you look at the 4 and 5 ones down you can see them.

I like the yellow look, makes them standout a bit more!

Was so easy to do....there is one screw fixing the little grill...then 4 or 5 clips (broke one) and it pulls out..

I cleaned the fog then dried it...peeled the tint back and put it on the fog light....cut round the edge..(dont have to be neat as it is covered by the grill surround)..then smooved out from the middle with a spreader...and then heated it up with haridryer to get rid of few bubbles

then replaced grill

Loving the fogs dude! A good mod!

Did you blow a fuse when you did yours? I did and now they don;t work even with a new fuse (even had a garage look at them lol)

DO like this car a lot!

Looking really good, you well into detailing to then, you are only meant to clay about twice a year anyway and if you clean it regularly polish a was every 3 or 4 months. So they say but my roof has not lasted very long did it about 2 months ago.

yeah im pretty into it...i just love the feel of my car now...so smooth!

never clayed it...so i will do it one day...i usually just wash twice and got a massive microfibre drying mitt/towel thing....but then every few weeks i clean/polish/wax/seal it...

love the r8!

Never clayed duuuude if you love a smooth car you are in for a treat, but don't get too aggressive clay and only maybe 3 times a year. I take it you are on detailing world forum I went on there a year ago and my car cleaning methods changed quite a bit as I learnt alot. I also spent alot too!

That looks bloody clean dude! The front looks brilliant, very aggressive!!

Nice of you to capture my R8 on as well... ;)

cheers pal,

really hard to convey how shiny it is...silver cars dont seem to give much depth in the photos...

pleased with the front, looks really mean with the red lipstick and black badge! lol
