Facelift fog light refurb??

Well i quickly keyed the primer up this eve and painted the backs on the fogs. As i have some spare white kicking about I painted them white. As you will never realy see the back I didnt think it would make much difference.
So heres how they are currently looking now



 
Can't wait to see how you do the inners. If this works I may try it myself - I'll buy some of the blanks you can get to cover the holes left by removing them. Think they're dirt cheap...

Great job so far :thumbsup:
 
well i got the insides painted at the weekend, used plasti-koke brilliant metallic which is available from tescos at less than a fiver, it aint the best finish at all, but i need them done for the weekend



heres the finish, this could all have been done better, but it was only a week or so ago i decided i wanted them done for a show this weekend, so ive not spent as much time as i should have



so this eve i keyed up both parts thats were to be sealed & used an adheasive sealer that i had laying around in the garage



applied a bit of masking tape around them to keep them together

 
Well ive finaly finshed, quite happy how they turned out & the metalic paint reflects the light quite well.



decided to tint the fogs to try an make them a little less bright & visable, heres how they turned out




then finaly fitted them to the car after have holes in the front bumper for the past couple of months



all completed & refurbed for probably a tenner, but alot of elbow grease & time
 
I certainly would have tinted my fogs if i didnt just remove them!

There really is no need for them anyway :P

I prefer the side light halo on its own during the day (and night :evil:)
 
yea the tinted fogs look awesome! makes me a little more happier with the front end untill the M bumper is sorted.

i bough the film from ebay, here you go:

fatmikey, how have these held up ? Are you getting any condensation, or has it stayed away ?
 
Do you need to remove the bumper to take the fogs out?

Edit: Doh just seen the 'how to' guide posted about which answers my question :thumbsup:
 
they are still perfect, not seen any condensation in either off them.

Tom, yo dont need to take the bumper off, you can access and remove them through the large holes in the wing liners, although it is a bit fiddly. The bumper is very easy to remove if need be tho
