One would assume Barry Humphries would have ticked that head light cover option.

Thanks mate

One of them is just hanging on so I might have to see how it looks without them.

Royal blue is such a bitch of a colour to try capture in a photo. Pictures don't do it justice

Any suggestions on what to use to remove the tape residue Hamish?

Tarx is a good adhesive remover

You can also try eucalyptus oil, that stuff works a treat!

I'll give that a go. Can't seem to find tarx

I'd recommend citri clean sticky spot remover plus you get a nice orange smell

Excellent! Much cleaner.

I do like how it looks now. But I think I will have to do a headlight transplant now.
The drivers Side has lots of imperfections that we're hidden with the covers. I have my original light which had a broken clip so im thinking I'll just change the internals over and put that one back on.

I got my car back from the smash repairs yesterday and im quite happy with the results.

Brand new bumper and tailgate colour matched perfectly

I had the tailgate spoiler resprayed as well as all 4 bumper strips on the doors.

Drivers door glass realigned so it now closes perfectly every time without rubbing on the door rubber.

Also had the tow bar sprayed gloss black just to tidy that area up, not that anyone else would notice that :lol:

Tomorrows project is to do a headlight transplant so i dont have to look at this mess anymore

This light served its purpose as a cheap replacement when i broke my headlight clip in my original, so ill just swap the internals over on them and it will be good as new

There is a few upgrades in motion at the moment

I bought Bens (pips06) new DBA 5000 slotted rotors for a bargain price. These are now in my garage awaiting the arrival of my Dixcell type M pads from Phat as well as my braided lines from Mark

Better braking is not too far away.

On Tuesday i also pick up a spare grill which i have a few ideas for:
-Paint the wings black
-paint all the chrome black
-colour code the outside of the grill and black out the wings
-wrap it all in vinyl, black or carbon if its subtle enough
- or do a mesh grill DIY

any input, ideas or opinions would be appreciated, Mark im looking in your direction :wink:

So you're the one who bought em! Lucky bugger :wink:
