--==Headlight Upgrade- R8/Vantage Style==--PICS

Been thinking about doing this for a while now, just never actually pushed myself to do coz didnt really wanna mess around with the bumper, headlights, but i said screw it and got to it. Took around 4 hours to complete in all.

Whilst i was at it, i painted the headlight casing gloss black and added a silver lip around the bulb holes thingis.

The pictures definately do not do it enough justice, you have to see it in real life or perhaps a video to actually notice the individual LED's. Oh and for those concerned, been past a few cop cars here, no problem at all! What do you guys rekon>

the respray looks awesome dude! not a fan of the led lights under though. actually convincing me to respray mine aswell but a gloss black so it'll look more ferrari style.

where did you get the metal rings?

lol as i said, you have to see them in real life to notice em! i'll put up a video on youtube sometime soon! and those metal rings? they were done using a mettalic silver automotive marker. Gives that metallic impression doesnt it! and yeah i painted mine gloss black as well, makes it look much more neater and matches the gloss black paint of my car!

Mr.Audi it is!

yeah i thought about that too but then i realised that it will look too over the top for my liking! so i kept it lean and clean!

i was thinking... instead of having it at the bottom rather put it on top and make it look like "night eye lids" lolz..

like the VE calais...

looks agressive at night

i have an idea
why not make some holes on the light body
and put the led under the holes,
so the led unit wont be too obvious?
it's like the light juz come out form the holes

hey ive started noticing on all the pre-facelift models, (like myself) everyone is fliping the numberplate to under the grill instead of over it
