[Cov_Rob]

I'm doing this as we speak. Very good guide, very helpfull Top Score!!

One question though, could i put the inserts in the oven to dry them?

[Lewis]

Ive just done mine, the right side went perfectly but ive ruined the left side. I left it in the oven seconds too long and too high up now i need a whole new light. Costly mistake. Great guide just dont screw up!

[RustySkull]

Gah, I only did the plastic bits, not the reflectors lol.... Nice though.

[pjw]

just waiting for my black paint to fully dry then theyre going back together.

mine took 10 minutes at gas mark 2 in a flame oven, i just put them on the glasses in the bottom of the oven.

funny, one insert rubbed down and was black plastic underneath the other was silver..

cheers moosh.
