After struggling for a couple of hours, I lost my rag and gave it up as a bad job… When Keenan said fiddly, he wasn’t joking…Think I’ll be paying a professional to do it…At least you tryed tony. If I remember corectly it goes something like this [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/shocked.gif[/image] [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/mad.gif[/image] [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/confused.gif[/image] [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/grin.gif[/image] Get it done though as it keeps out 95% of radiation and 75% of the solar heat and does look amazing. I am going to get my headlight covers done. That will be fiddly![This message has been edited by Keenan Perrin (edited 28 April 2001).]

TT - get JCT to get their man in…(did I really say that!) or ask for his name…he did mine…but then one is peeling slightly and he going to have to redo it!!!

23

Yeah, I’ve got the details of the guy who does JCT600’s paint work, tints, armourfend etc… Will get him to do it directly rather than going thru the dealer - Cheaper!Keenan, I want my headlight covers doing too - They would look really good. Are you going to use the spray on stuff? If you do it, post us a piccy!T

But surely tinting the headlamp covers will reduce their effectiveness, which means you’ll have to drive slower at night. This is worse than adding weight. Maybe even worse than that dreaded AC [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif[/image]

Brendan, it’s an ENGLISH thing…he-he…

What about whacking in some of those extra bright bulbs… That should (in theory) help…

I Have tried it out and it makes hardly any difference and I have those funky xonon bulbs in ( I can’t spell it) the view from in to out has very little Difference but out to in she looks like the black eyed bitch from hell. I have had 2 goes at it now but I cant get the film to bend enough. My local chap says he is going to heat shrink it on to them. I will get a picky posted once its done.[This message has been edited by Keenan Perrin (edited 02 May 2001).]
