Post by: denviks on July 23, 2005, 22:48:20: jon boy did the tinting on windows and lights for me. i was just a extra pair of hands as required :wink: ....but the tint is black. i will get the name of it if required. you have to clean the windows inside and then use water and washing up liquid on the window. a nice wet window, roughly cut size of window out of the sheet and slide in to place. once there you use a plastic spatchular to push the bubbles out and trim to fit. sounds easy but watching jonboy it aint :lol: . but he did a great job.
as for the lights its just a case of masking around them and spraying them with light tint spray..10 mins and jobs done........hth. if you need anymore ifo then please shout.
cheers

Post by: J B on July 23, 2005, 23:05:13: no, you have to use a translucent paint, i got some and did mine a few weeks back, dens benefited from what was left in the can, its a bit of a boy racer mod, but an effective one :lol:

Post by: Bulli on July 24, 2005, 00:14:00: looks good but decided against window tint on the disco. Got in on my shogun but dont use offroad very often, only prob with tinted windows on tight lanes you cant see enough. My rear window is at about chest height as it is so i need all the help i can get. :shock:
Whats next?? :lol:

I've just bolted one of these on my motor.
They look super'b and hardly stick out!
All you'll have to do is move your oil rad up a couple of inches and cut your grill a bit for the legs. took me 1 1/2 hours at Billing

Are the lights legal?

Yes - the reflectors are still visible. This is where the boy-racers usually fall foul of the law. Just don't use too much paint, or the bulbs won't be bright enough to shine through!

Hint: Bulbs can 'blacken' with use, so replacing them can improve things ... :wink:
