The day I bought it, nice n plain ready for the mods.  

Lovely base to start with bud. Those shiny headlights could do with some nice chrome bulbs and the chrome reflector sprayed a nice satin black :-)

Yeah got a great new friend who's gonna sort it for me.

Oh the orange bulbs. Never really noticed.

Happy to help you do it mate - yeah the orange bulbs we'll replace with some amber flashing chrome ones:

The only thing is you need to remove the lights to get the feckers in so might as well do that at the same time as the headlight split and paint

That's a bit over kill to change a bulb, yeah that's good with me, Wats the life expectancy of paint inside lense?

shall i bring the hammer.... 

Awww daz it ain't that bad, Or is that ur "tools fine adjusting" THE HAMMER!!!

When Mario was doing nick's headlights I said to Mario " shall I get the hammer" nick's face was unreal!!!

Well if you have a Jeremy Beadle hand you might be able to get to the bulbs but I don't know anyone who has managed it yet? Hawkeye lights are a PITA to remove....but i am used to it now I've done it so many times

The paint should last as long as the car mate as it's in a sealed unit so not exposed to anything but the heat of the lights.

Daz - now you know I have several hammers available to bray the lenses apart

I don't have any front fog lights on my STI mate - so not sure what to do with them.

Not a big choice really,leave them alone or sti covers..

Don't know wether I like them or not yet to decide,

I would blank them off with STI covers or there are really cool carbon fibre covers - but it's persoanl choice mate - it's your baby an you've gotta put your own mark on her that you are happy with.

1st time i got a "slap on the wrist" was when the wagon went off the road and the missus went up to sort out the road closure & removal of the turbine with the police.... did not go down well turning up in my car with a beacon on top!!!

I never thought of that FFS   - But I suppose he wants the chrome reflector painted black anyway - I've never taken a wheel arch liner out before - bound to loose a finger knowing me
