Default De-Tango'd Blobeye

Have been putting it off for a month, but decided to give it a go today.

Wasn't too bad at all, had it done in less than 1.5 hours.

Really happy with how it looks, just need to decide on the next mods now!!!

By far the best mod for the Blobeyes. Looks really good. How did you do it? The old oven trick or a screwdriver hack?

Looking good, I started that a couple of months ago got 1 side off my car and got scared about putting them in the oven so left it and just put in white/blue bulbs.

I did think that, but thought i'd leave them as they are to go with the silver.
Any colour other than silver and i'd probably have done it.

The car isn't my daily drive, so will keep the wheels on for the winter, but will put lots of wheel sealant on.

I like it just the way it is, it looks more oem than blacked one Ive seen.

What wheel sealant actually works? Ive never seen much difference to be honest.

I had my wheels powder coated white in June applied 3 coats of chemical guys wheel sealant, does the job spot on i just need to clean with water and shampoo no need for strong cleaners. I took them off again saturday and applied another 2 coats there still look like new and have a hell of a wet shine to them

This is the very first thing I did to my blobeye... I did have my fears when I out them in the oven so just out it on a low heat until everything had softened up lol... but me being a tight **** just over sprayed some orange bulbs with silver ( light coating of course ) and happy days

Tidy looking car you have there though mate looks exceptionally clean
