£1150 but the finished product is superb.

It is very shiney, kept the wrapper on until it was installed to prevent the finger marks
Isnt as noisy as the NUR specs on earlier cars, but has a distinctive noise about it that is very pleasing. Almost like a metallic reverberation.

When did you last check it? I would top it up and monitor it again and measure the usage.

I need to do this to my R205 where can I get this vinyl kit from and how hard is it as I will most likely end up cocking it up?

^^^^

it's what I'd like to do too, but reading some site it says it's not that easy to get it on without getting a crease in it.

the kits are from the USA at about $35

or from Litchfields at £25
http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/s...ight%20wrapnot sure which kit that is.. it may be the same as Rob's.. (the style to get IMO)

Www.bluebatmobile.net. Just order through paypal they take approx 7 days to be delivered, no customs charge $42 various styles in his photobucket site.

Easy to fit if you've got stacks of patience and a hair dryer and soapy water in a trigger bottle. Just stretch them on and manipulate into place. To be fair I thought I was gonna mess it right up but it was quite easy when I got going. Well happy with the

I heated and stretched them over the rear of the light and trimmed them down, they are quite a neat fit already so there isn't much wastage.

When it's pissing down with rain and the workshop at home is full of cars & parts I took the option of removing them, absolute doddle with them out.

Rob, Ramdor is talking about the reflective ring around the fog in LEDS, it would then match the brake/rear lights and complements the red overlays.

Where did you get the smd strips from ?? I've seen that thread on NASIOC and fancied doing it to mine as the std boot lamp is crap at best lol
