#65338 Today i went to Andys to flat and polish my replacement wing, as it was bubbling and slightly the wrong colour red.

So, firstly i helped andy flat and polish the wing

Image
Image

Colour difference between the new and old

Image

Whilst fitting the new wing, i replaced the arch liners as they were all worn from the big wheels and charge piping from the turbo.

Wing fitted

I also (with andys help) polished the roof, as it was looking abit sorry for itself

:lol: In that case to make the translation correct:

I fitted the new fender as the old fender was in poor condition :lol:

#67121 Another small update, ive been banging on for a while now about removing the TYC clear headlamps and going back with the OEM stanley headlamps as the pattern on the glass doesnt match the ambers, plus i fancied putting the OEM clear corners back on for a change. Sad, i know :roll:

My OEM ones were dirty and stained inside, i decided to open them using the oven trick......but i melted one :lol: . So i set off to a mates to get some mint condition spares he had. £10 and the deal was done, i also got the OEM corner indicators (all for £10 :wink: )

When i got them they were filthy, so a clean was in order..(excuse the car being filthy)

Image
Image

After some sugar soap and abit of scrubbing they were clean :)

Image

For reference this is how the TYC's were

Image
Image

New OEM headlamps installed with ambers

Image
Image

New OEM headlamps installed with OEM clear corners

Image
Image
Image

Difference in the two..

Image

I definately prefer the OEM headlamps so they will be staying, i'm undecided on the amber or clear corners though, but i'll leave the clears on for the time being for a change!

This is my inspiration :P

Spoon splitter is going to have to be ordered now :wink:

Your opinions guys??

Thanks for looking guys, comments welcome as ever as i'm still trying to decide on clear or amber corners! :roll:

#67411 The Stanleys are cool but the amber corners just set the car off even more. I think the Stanleys make the car appear somewhat not as nice. I think it's the contrast. But all up to your tastes I guess. I'd prefer the amber corners on your car, will make the front end a little more special than it already is :D

#68482 I would defo say stick with the ambers, they are gorgeous and set the car off nicely. :thumb:
