    Need to get those orange inserts out, is there a easy way of doing it ?

    Also will be taking the side indicators off - do these just pull off.

    Havn got the bumper ones yet (unless you know of any going spare [:)] )- edited,got these now

    Basically - help [:)]

    Thanks

    The orange inserts come out easy enough, two ways.

    The easiest way is to get a flat blade screwdriver, wrap the end in cloth to avoid any scratchs, and looking at the front of the wedges you should see some small reccesses that you can get the driver and pop em out towards you.

    Or, remove the indicator above and youll see how they clip in.

    The side lights can be a little trickier, if i remember correctly (was a few years ago when i did mine!) You push them forwards whilst pulling outwards at the fat end nearest the wing mirror.

    Thanks John, also got the bumper crystals now, think their straightforward.

    Going back to the wedges, torn between spraying blue or silver.

    Silver ones like this ? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/ ... rytals.jpg

    or blue - cant find a piccy of blue

    Opinions please [:)]

    Mine are silver but im not to sure, i think i might go for DBM to match, a bit less in your face.

    Cant make my mind up.

    I used black myself, its one of those things thats easy to change if you decide you dont like the result. Lightly rough the surface before spraying to make it last longer.

    Black suits all colours and is easy to touch up.

    For info, I used Plasticote, its easy to use, drys in minutes and is just soft enough not to chip when hit by stones. Top tip..[;)]

    Get yourself a permanent black marker as a xmas present and colour them in, should last a couple of days at least! [^]

    Saw a mod somewhere, he took them out,cut the centres out which just left the outer rims,sanded them and painted them black,popped them back in

    the effect was a hole [:0]

    lot of hard work for nothing

    Oh and the crystal indicators have just been delivered - do I need a different coloured bulb ?

    Not really clued up on this modding lark am I [:I]
