I am waiting for some front fog light ducts to turn up from Carmad and am think some or all of the following:-

 

Completely repaint the grey strip in satin black including the fog light ducts.

 

Smoke the sidelight/indicators in satin black.

 

Smoke the sidelight/indicators in satin black and lacquer/polish giving a shiny finish.

 

Leave side lights as they are.

 

What do you think?

 

Also can anyone photo sop the side lights so they look smoked?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Andy

 

 

I was thinking the same for mine Andy, yours tho i think smoked indicators and the satin black for the fog ducts to carry the line on, just my opinion tho

Hi Groover,

 

I've seen a 99 spec bumper with the side lights, indicators and the recess all blacked out and it looked really together.

 

I'll see if I can find it. It's a white American car I think.

 

Andy

You should of got them today??

 

im not to sure on spraying the side lights?? you can never seem to get enough light to come through them :(

You dont have to smoke the lens, just black the reflector, should give the same effect, like the 99 specs

In that case :cool:

99 specs are clear glass, just have a black reflector, giving it the effect of being smoked

Yes Alan,

 

I like the way the black strip makes your front end look wide. That's what I'm looking to achieve.

That looks great Dave :bow:

I'm pretty sure that there are two versions of the 99 spec indicator, one is clear and the other is smoked, but I've never been next to the two at the same time ;)

That looks great Dave :bow:

 

Thank you :D

Cheers dave I appreciate that.

 

They look very nice. This photo was taken in low light so the Strip on the front bumper looks black when it is actually dark grey.

 

Your photoshop trickery has given me exactly what I wanted to see!

 

I just need to decide on satin black or gloss black!!

 

Thanks again Buddy.

 

Andy

No problem at all Andy, happy to oblige bud :D

Go with gloss matey, match your hood.

Picked my ducts up from the Post Office yesterday.

 

Very nice bit of kit. Thanks Dave.

 

Andy

New to all this, if I put fog light ducts in where will my side lights go?

HI there,

 

You can get later spec side lights that house two seperat bulbs (indicators and side lights) and dump the fog lights.
