What did you do on your car today?

Nice look Brian! Is the rear diffuser from the factory, or an aftermarket one? if you get the chance, post a pic showing the back (Im only asking because Im putting one on mine soon!)

My latest cheapest Mod !
(using leftover chrome strip, so either zero cost, or a coupla' dollars worth if you have to buy it...):


As you may know, I installed my fog lights last weekend, happy with the look, but still something missing...




So I went looking on eBay for the chrome surround rings, but didn't really like the look of them (too showy), so I thought I'd try to do my own...


Here's the surrounds taken from the vehicle, au naturel:




Using my leftover chrome strip (it's best to bend it 'flat' before putting it on, like so):




it's then simply a matter of following the 'flat spot' around the base of the projected bit, and you end up looking like this:




But, as the strip is sitting partially sideways-on, I then went around the exposed white sticky with a black marker:




Refitted to the car, it looks a bit more 'finished':







Whaddaya think?

Looks different but good, wondering how hard it would be to hook up a waterproof led strip around that chrome strip and wire it so it comes on with your fogs

[Zaphod]

Very.

Plus, if you did, the fog lights would be brighter than the LEDs and you'd lose the effect...

[lantourismo]

Depends on the colour of them, say bright blue, would complement the fogs, they are more to compliment then replace the fogs

[Zaphod]

Blue!

now you're talking!!!

I did the same to mine last year But, I didn't like the look of it with chrome plus i screwed mine up with not removing the tape after every coat that I removed it




But after removing it, she now has a beauty spot




But Well done with the side indicators Looks awesome Well done!

Installed these today:



I'll post photos later - still have the head unit fascia loose as I'm picking one up to test tomorrow...



Fair amount of blood loss installing the thermosensor - lots of tight spaces and sharp edges back there...

[chunky9]

^nice pick up
How much did all that cost?

[Zaphod]

Unis/Younis looked after me...!

Because I am moving house I had to put a rush on mods I had already started. So blacked out the grill and centre piece on the car, and installed the headlights I modded. Hard to get a good picture with all this rain but still nice.
