Always wanted to do something with the rear lights but just think they look too dark flyeyed. Wish there was some nice smoked ones available.
Any chance you could take a pic of them lit up?

Cheers jarre. Just ordered some so fingers crossed. Then I'll order those his bulbs you linked me to.
Mines probably a little different to yours as mines a Btcc and the fogs are next to the side vents...
I just took the vents out and undid the 3 screws @ either side, on mine the screws are quite well hidden I had to use a small trox with a 90 degree bend adapter fitted to it to reach some of the screws...Mines genuine laminix its expensive but so so easy to fit, just heat it up with a hairdryer spray the fog glass with water and stretch onto the foglight, job done...I never use my fogs so mines just for looks............
I re-did my front plastic scuttle panel yesterday with 4D carbon wrap as the cold winter months had started to lift the wrap away @ the edges and around the washer jets...this time I started from the middle and work out to either edge, it was so so much easier doing it that way + it looks a lot more tidy...
It's really easy to do, just remove the cover, fit the intake, the split the cover in two by undoing the screws offer the top part up and cut away what you want to lose with a hack saw,, then cut the bottom half to match, but LEAVE the rear hole in place for the cover mounts to be slotted into..... and youre done
Do you have any pics of the parts you cutted away?
Really dont want to butcher my cover, i want an intake and an engine cover, but want to still use the cover if I ever go oem.
sorry, dont have any pics, Neuspeed to a carbon cover which I ordered, but I think im going to cancel it asit is £300 .... shouldnt reakly have ordered it tbh. plus really liking how the bay looks now
Pretty sure there is a modified engine cover for sale at the moment in the parts section.
I woulda bought it myself, but modded my own about 3 weeks ago haha. They look awesome when they are done, just waiting to get mine tidied up by a bodyshop now and possible sprayed candy white to match

Hi,
Check this on youtube, since this also describes how to cut the engine cover.

The rears are a piece of piss to change. I'd take it to a garage for the fronts, wont be much in labour, though they arent hard to do, just trickier than the rears.
