Where did you get that idea :scratch:
From some guy called phil. Hes quite the :troll: but has done some quality work on his FTO.

I have been pondering on some ideas that I have got from your FTO (hope you dont mind - not gonna just copy your FTO, but ya know, need some inspiration :cheeky:)

Okay, so here's a small list I've compiled that she agrees with :D

How much will I be looking at forking out for this one??

- Lower (legally)
- Tint taillights (is this even legal?)
- Post-facelift front end


...Anybody know anybody with a post-facelift front end in black and how much I'm forking out?

- Lower (legally) I found these the other day, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330723924637 ... 1436.l2649
- Tint taillights (is this even legal?) Some guys use tint paint and some use a stick-on tint.

I would have to say the vinyl tints are better than the spray on because if you do get pulled over you can peel them off then and there.

Marshy1223 has done his but left the reversing lights uncovered. For a brighter reverse light I would assume?
