Doh, there's me thinking you might be offering to paint my lights laugh

They would look very nice painted cool

I think any colour Coupe would look nice with refreshed and painted lights.

Paul, I assume you've sorted your turbo and bonnet now that you're looking at cosmetics laugh

You sorted your dumpvalve yet?

steamer - you should do it yourself as the headlights are easy to crack open and re-seal . have done mine electric blue and also mr c's sprinty blue http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll102/r33-skyline/sprintyheadlights.jpg and are in the process of doing his spare set satin black . i have cracked mine 3 times and done chris's main and spare set once so they not hard to do just handy if you have a spare set to put in the car while your doing them . will get some pic's upped of my electric blue lights later .

I think they look awful sick sorry.

Silver or even better chrome might look alright but i don't like the colour coded ones at all frown

I don't like them either, but each to their own.

i think the coupe looks old fashioned with the black/grey headlights and colour codeing them gives it a face lift .

They don't look bad but thought the red looked terrible.

i guess we have many opinions, where some do look good while others are suspect..

At the end of the day if the owner is happy then that is what matters..

I'll get better pictures up tomorrow (that's my sprinty)! As I said before I really didn't know if I would like them but I have to say they look pretty sweet. But I still believe some colours work better than others. smile Mr C

hello mate. About the headlights i dont think it is that hard to do, i plan on doing mine soon and painting them myself. You have just got to take the light out then prise off the plastic covering and the white clips but the plastic covering is very strong so there isnt much chance of breaking it. Then the plastic black cover should come off but remember to replace the plastic clips smile

MrC - they really don't suit your car - I'll take them off your hands for £20 smile

I'd like to see some lighter shots from a higher angle - the reflection of the flash has made the piccy a bit grainy

mine is in for repir to bodywork at the mo, so i asked the guy how much it would be to chuck in painting the headlights.... his answer was £20 so for £20 i thought i might as well.
If i don't like them i can always go back to standard, however my car is ink black so doubt it will be that noticeable unless a sunny day
