lol its ok man, no need to be sorry.
I only said fibre glass cos if it was CF u could see the weaves and it would be unpainted, and since it's been painted than I assumed it was fibre glass. And bonnet pins are recommended for fibre glass bonnets too :P

oh man i been lazy and havnt put the lights in yet lol.. i should do it soon :oops:

btw: did anyone notice the funky "cone" mirrors on the grey one? personally i prefer the black ones...
And bonnet pins are recommended for both CF and FG. Mine was gonna get em but fitted so well they weren't needed.
I think it is CF though because it hasnt shattered or nothin, just slightly bent... looks like it rolled abit too... would love more details on the crash! :twisted:

oh nobody's fixed em yet, i still have them on. gonna pick up the replacement stick lights hopefully this weekend.

sealing them is the easy part, the only thing i need to do is figure out how to take the plastic lens off :?

think we r off topic here...
bake them? or sharp carton knife? or a combination of really low heat (maybe even a heat gun/hair dryer?) and cartong knife?

the plastic lense comes off pretty easy. They pretty much just peal apart but you gotta be careful coz the chrome thats painted on inside the lense will peal off. You might be better off trying to seal them with silicone around the back of the lights while they're still together or get a pro to look at em.
