    Google 'Laminex' mate, mine was the smoked film, you can buy it in different pre-cut sizes, it's quite thick stuff and good quality as it is to serve a purpose in motorsport not just for looks.
    The secret is to apply it using a hairdryer to soften and shape it around the curves

        I'm hoping to do my front lights over the Xmas period when I'm not using it

          I'm not normally a fan of tinted lights, but I've seen Robs ( Polishing Frenchman ) in real life and it looked stunning

            I agree. After copying the Frenchman I used the same light tint for front fogs and rear. I didn't bother with my Headlamps as they are already dark enough!

              There is something about the 80's front end that cries out for aggressive looking mods
              Definitely a rear view mirror monster

                Looks great since my car is the pre facelift coupe I think it will make the lights fit in with the grill better.

                              Do miss it when i open the garage doors,and of course the sound,however....them b5 arches and the biturbo's effortless road munching make up for the loss
