Yeah, I just got a couple of sets for the Swift... You can get LED versions as well ... But the lights I need to put them in, you can clearly see through. And the LED version of the bulbs look a bit weird...

I'd love to do a full LED conversion on the car, but $$$

Don't get the headlight globes they r shithouse, don't light up anything, I got them in my highbeams and I think the led on my dash is brighter than what they put out

There are some very bright LED headlight globes.

Not cheap though

Cheap ones without heat sinks do piss all.

The real babys with a heat sink bigger than the board in which the LED is on, are the way to go!

So, as some know, I had a little run in with the police a few days back:

Which resulted in this:

This was caused by my remote started initiating when I tried to unlock the car with the remote, it was the first time I have ever left the car in gear with the remote started enabled...

I have cleaned up the car a lot since then, with the cracks covered in tape to try stop any water etc getting in:

I've also straightened out the bonnet a little, although it still has cracked paint:

and I also trialled some eyelids, you can hardly see the damage in this pic:

haha yea, and he was actually quite a nice guy

To make it worse though, he was sitting on the bonnet at the time

So no real updates on the bumper yet, I've got a few quotes, just trying to pick my option....

The only real other thing to happen to the car is I decided to spray the rear lights:

Crying FTO:

and a random pic that I took with the others that I liked :p

Looooks good, is that just a light coat of Nightshades? I've always liked tinted tails but i find that the lights didn't show up really well through them. Is that tint removable? without destroying the plastic?

Two coats, Can be removed if you sand them back and polish the lights back up I believe.
