Indicator/fog assembly rejuvination and spray chroming

Well, the Brits have this down to a fine art, but I know i'd be terribly sh*t at it. I think it looks pretty great, especially when combined with clear repeaters!

Would anyone be up to being the Australian guinea pig? And then selling them on an exchange basis for a few bob :P

I really don't fancy my chances of being able to seperate the seal using an oven, and then get the things back together again.

I don't know if my girlfriend will appreciate all those hot sluts throwing themselve on the car, but damn, it will look goood.

So, if anyone has already attempted this on these forums then please, tell me your many and varried experiences!

As the great Eric Cartman once said "I think I blew a funny fuse" I may never laugh again.

You did what? You told fifty people how to get hot anorexic sluts all over you car? :wink:

Hahaha but seriously though I'm guessing many of us have thought about doing it but we all know how much those foglamps cost and sticking them in the oven might not be the best even if you got big balls.

How about we consider the method used in removing decals from the fto? How do you think a hairdryer would fare on the glue? Any thoughts? Those things can get pretty hot!

hairdryer is the perfect way. (To remove the stickers.)
DO NOT use metho spirits and boiling water is generally a bad idea aswell.
