UPDATE:
Tinted the taillights and they look much better IMO. Masked circles over each globe so that reflectors etc are still visible from the rear. It's gotten several people I know out of defects so hopefully it works if it comes down to it.
Also added a Slow Life sticker.
I've began restoration on my old Volk TE37s and have fitted them to the Version R as well. They were literally stained from lack of proper cleaning over the years I didn't own them. Needed to buff them with degreaser and then with a cutting compound to get them to come up white again. Looks so good!

I'd guess nite-shades?

Would've gone tint vinyl personally.. just so you can take it off but looks good.

Used nite shades... It's easy enough to remove; paint stripper works a treat!

Was more thinking if a cop defects you just get out of the car and peel it off in front of him

Okay so the G4s are right and royally fucked
We're sourcing some factory suspension to put in for now (coconut?) and turns out the front end was so bad it's pierced the L/H CV boot which has let all the grease out
So in addition we're getting a new CV boot, a front R/H tie rod end and a rear R/H wheel bearing
Hopefully there isn't much else which needs desperate attention on this car...

What coil overs did you choose to go with?
