Really like that! Only thing that's not for me is the black mirrors.

The car looks fantastic, I think the wheels and black wing mirrors work nicely, but get your front lights tinted to give it a real stealth look.

Sim-simma's car is a great example:

Didn't spot that the first thanks

Bish - If you want to know what I did I'll send you some info and pics. They're essentially the same headlighte as you have. Just painted black and tinted with halos added.

Cheers mate, I would appreciate that. Especially some info on the products used and a few close ups to see just how dark they are.

Were you able to graduate the amount of tint? The overall effect on yours is spot on with the black body, but I think with the blue paint work I would be going for a light "smoked" look . Any thoughts?

Yes you can

there's about 5 coats of tint on mine so it's very gradual as you apply. I'll send you some info tonight when I finish work

Nice car, I like the black wheels.

Thanks again for the thumbs up.

Sim, just read the resurrection thread start to finish whilst my tea went cold in front of me. Awesome work mate, think I got the info I needed on the AEs too. Although seeing the standard of your work has made me consider trying to source some breakers lights for a practice run

Also on the stealth theme, anybody have recommendations for good quality replacement badges. I'm thinking a full set of black & whites, or maybe grey or even carbon. Obviously want to avoid all the cheap s#@t coming out of china.

Cheers

There's not a lot that can go horribly wrong if anything really. I mean opening them is the hardest part and a lot of people have done it on here. I've not heard of anyone who has ruined a light! Not as bad as it looks

Ive got some carbon centre caps that were cheap and look bang on but I don't know if they have any suitable sizes for the other badges on the car.
