Based in Guildford... interested in any free or cheap old E85 / E86 foglights in need of a refurb - don't bin 'em - let me collect or drop 'em by if you're passing.

Also front, rear, side or wheel badges wanted for disassembly and customisation.

If you get good at this I think there's a bit of a market!

I've done the set on my E86, and as far as I am concerned - and given the location where you can barely see them - I've done a decent job.

I am confident I can do much better a second time, and by the third or fourth I'd hope they're pretty good.

Postage possible too!

My E86 fogs are misting up and have the cheesy bits in them.
I would possibly be interested in a referbishment job but it depends how much you would charge and future durability (not questioning your quality of work but more due to the fog light position on the car and their design).

I'm not interested in doing refurbs for people for a few reasons - one, I would take ages (I'm much more likely to do it in very small chunks over weeks, not spend a day doing it start to finish), two I am not in a position to guarantee the the quality of the appearance or the durability.

I'm interested in taking them off people's hands for little or no money (especially if the alternative is they get binned). Best case scenario for someone like you is that in a year or so's time I might be in a position where I have a couple of sets refurbed and someone like you could pay £xxx plus your old set, for an already-refurbed set on a "sold as seen" basis.

I don't like waste, but I do like having little jobs to do to keep me on my toes and fill my time!

I’ve got 4 spare wheel caps if you want it. Just arrange the postage and you can have them.
