Smart looking car

Lightly tinting the rear lights would look really good I reckon

 

[adam_may]

Here's a pic of a red Ibiza

I think he's a member on here.

I wouldn't go darker than the Ibiza above. Anything darker would look tacky. Sportrider and Ecomotive edition Ibizas have darker tinted rear lights as standard.

can you get rear lights that are black? rather than the silver? if that makes sense?

You can, but no idea where

A company called Dectane tuning manufacture some but they are for left hand drive Ibizas. FK also make some but again for left hand drive cars.

A couple of members on here have had them fitted and they don't look right. The fitment is bad and the quality isn't great. Also the fog light and reverse light are the wrong way round

 

[adam_may]

hmmm...could the lights be taken apart and sprayed black?

 

[Altech]

I tried to take apart a rear light that I got from a scrap yard. The lens is bonded on really strong and just cracks when prized apart. I tried heating the seal with a heat gun and also tried the oven trick, none worked.

I think the only other way to get to the inner parts is to cut the rear light housing in half....spray the silver parts black and the bond the two halves together.
