Smoked side and rear reflectors and Bumper modification

Finaly managed to get hold of some replacement smoked side reflectors and rear reflectors. I knew the rear ones were available but I didn't even know the side ones had been manufactured. Both are fitted and look so much better in my opinion. The rear ones are connected to the brake cable to illuminate under braking. I haven't connected the side ones as they were very hard fit without removing the wheelarch covers and other bits.

Also decided to have the black bits on the rear bumper painted the same colour as the car. I am still undecided on whether it looks better or not,

Pic's attached for anyone who is interested.

I will be honest with you n say I like the smoked reflectors but not the painted rear section. Gives the rear a "big butt" look. Doesnt flow well with the car....
 
I know what you mean and I'm still not sure. But it can be changed. By the way when are you getting your heated mirrors?
 
They should arrive by next wednesday...I cant wait...I will post pics and try to do a walkthru of the install...
 
how hard is it to install the rear reflecters? i haven't looked yet, but i have a set in my parts room.
 
To do both is quite simple. Removal and refit is obviously the easy part, but wiring to the rear lights is simple. Takes about 10 minutes per side at most. You have to remove the rear light but that is easy.
 
Yo I like the way you painted the bumper. I have the same color car and want to do the same. Let me know where you got those clear taillights by the tailpipes. Thats a nice touch as well.
