hi all,
im newto this so would appreciateall help i can get,
ive recently bought a vtr n am wantin to customize it in loadsof ways.
Atm im wanting to create some custom rear lights in the shape of SAXO and VTR saxo for the brake and fog lights and VTR for the reverse lights, not sure about rear indicator yet, im just abit stuck on how to make this, do i have to shape it all out of fibre glass and smooth it into the holes thatl be there when i take out its current lights, are there kits i can buy to do this, or doi have to pay a proffesional to do it for me, im keen to do as much myself no matter how time consuming both to save costs and for that satisfaction its self made.
if anyone can help it'd be a greathelp
cheers in advance
Andy

I'd imagine it would be quite unsafe because you're hiding a lot of the light that's given off - and it would look pretty chavvy too :/

Can't imagine driving behind a car that's constantly flashing "SAXO" in my face when they brake.. don't see the point.

The thing is everyone knows you drive a Saxo so why broadcast it more?

Light fittings need to be 'E' marked, they would be ok for a pure show car that was trailered to and from the shows, but illegal to use on the road.

Apart from that they would look shite.

For a road going car.1.you`d be stopped by the police every 5mins,2.you`d fail an mot,and 3.I doubt if your insurance company would allow it.As said it`d have to be for a show car thats trailored to shows.Sorry to p1ss on your bonfire mate.

Will look shite
will fail MOT
will void your insurance
will consequently make you unable to purchase a tax disc
will get you pulled by the police every 100 yards

when they are done can you please park near an artillery range during live fire and let us all know? don't do your lights like this, they will look truly appalling (thats me being polite, to most people they'll just look proper shite)
