Start of rear tail mod.
Otsy1/Lexx: Yeah had the same convo with Terry. He loves the pinstripe and I think because it's standard it's what people are used to. I love the 99 spec but funnily enough not the pinstripe. Weird I know. I wanted the rid the orange carrots mostly but thought I'd have a go at LED conversion too. On the top tail strip I put an inline 510ohm resistor on the positive line. The stop bottom strip is soldered straight on the same as the amber indicator strip. Figured the colour codes for the wiring: Red wire with green stripe - stop Green wire with red stripe - tail Green wire with yellow stripe - indicator So tail is about 25% dull I'd say now. Will get some pictures after they go on the car. Thanks

I did one shot in daylight... I am in the process of wiring in a resistor to emulate the presence of a bulb filament. I think the relay is going to throw a wobbly otherwise. Hope some of you like it. Was the worst thing I ever did but was fun. Just hope I don't see any steaming up or faliure on the LEDs. Have a good xmas and new year everybody :santa: ----- This was done at my friends place as he has a decent kitchen side Yup he is a messy sod loooool

These forums are very diverse aren't they. I'm sure everything will be fine. A lot of thought has gone into this and defiantly some of the legal issues about brightness in direct sun etc... Insurance and VOSA. I like the idea of getting some sort of document from an MOT station. I also agree and disagree with a lot here; I know you cannot please everybody... Each to thier own I say. I'll put a few more pictures up with the results after they're back together :) p.s: No gf or wife... It's my mates couch and most of the butyl is gone

Still not had these documents mate. Can you text me. Getting a bit silly now. You've still got the V5 there as well so cannot start to move it anywhere with a bit of tax or mot on it Jim.

Hahaha. I think once yours is done it'll look a bit better than my zed. You'll soon forget her ;) No, they've had them a few days, they seem a bit busy. Probably due to the time of year. Should be done by next week too I hope lol We can compare modded parts next Saturday haha I'd like to touch up a few bits on my paintwork later and only other thing is to sort t he blow on my exhaust and get some 40mm lowering springs all-round.

Start of rear tail mod.
Just an update.. The perspex has gone back to the people I bought it from so they can fabricate it and bend it into shape to fix on the back of the light inserts. Had major trouble measuring this out and cutting it so instead of wasting a 700x700 £29 worth of material he is going to sort this for me. Will post results end of the week. But happier now... seems to have beaten me this one looool. I am going to make some white cardboard cuts for the LED strips to mount on and cover them in a silver mirror material (maybe)... depends on the current light scatter. I kind of like it so may not bother with the silver (probably foil). Hope everybody is good =)

Who can make this?
These are the guys I bought my perspex from to do my current project. They do different things bespoke also: http://www.arcolaproducts.co.uk
