Default Photoshop expert people...

Hello all,

After looking around the site to get some HIDs I'm thinking of doing a full retrofit conversion.

Would any photoshop experts be able to fit something like this..

Onto this to see how it will look..?



Many thanks
Rossi

don't do it mate. just go for the bulb upgrade in yours. or get a set of morettes for it and then go hid.

Are there not legal issues for HID blub in standard lenses? Do you not need the projectors as well?

I hate Morette's mate. Think they are on par with afterburner rear clusters and dump valves for being the worst things to do to your car .

I thought the complete retrofit projector and angel eyes would look excellent on a black car... maybe too much black?

Agree there, altho did some some with twin projectors which looked a touch better. As said above get a HID kit from BOB5 like i just have for the Noble. just need to work out where to mount everything on that. working at that one still.

each to their own



maybe swapped the colour of the PIAA covers round - think it would all look pretty good at the front.

rb5 286 - Thanks very much for that fella.

At first I thought it would look really aggressive being all black, but now I have seen that.. I'm thinking it is a bit too much black up front.

Specy - I like the idea of a black intercooler but just worried about it chipping. After a few thousand miles, I think it may look a little tacky. Powercoating may work but would it not also affect cooling efficiency?

Mrs Specy - Thank you . Mr Neame was on hand that that day to help out... he did the polishing and I did the waxing.

Dont do it mate... they look horrid!!! ( Chav ) ... You have PM mate, just fit HID's to your lights, much better look wise and still light the road up... My sister's been running HID's in the 5 Turbo for 2 years and hasn't had any issues with them from the law... IMO i'd keep the intercooler as it is aswell... It doesn't look ott, but just gives you the idea it might be slightly quick lol

IMHO it does make the car look too dark.

Very nice car by the way

If you decide to go HID:
