Mark W Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think it's just the way along the side of the car everything's just that same shade of blue so it kind of looks plain in a way. I'm not saying "Do this", but I just mean some kind of accent like this might help break it up a bit or add some interest: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Are they 7" lights Mike? If so, f**k I need some for Bernard. They certainly are! Cheapest place for them is Amazon, don't buy direct though, click on "7 new from..." and they're around £7 delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 If xenons weren't so expensive I'd get the 172 ones as they have black headlight inserts not grey like mine. I think that would look perfect with my colour scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Can you split yours down and spray them black yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah, that's the kind of level of detail I'm talking about - I'm not suggesting you put some bitchin' flames on there like Luke posted before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Maybe Luke! I haven't seen anyone do it yet on the forum so I'm guessing there must be a major constraint to it. With my logic though if it's put together it can be dismantled I'm thinking maybe spraying the side bullets darker as they are currently bright silver which doesn't really go with anything.

Luke Rainbird Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 It's a relatively common mod on certain models of Golf, though whether or not it's an easy task on those I couldn't say without looking. Might be an option 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm thinking maybe spraying the side bullets darker as they are currently bright silver which doesn't really go with anything. When I was dicking around in Photoshop they were actually one of the bits that I thought didn't look quite right but I wasn't sure what to really do about them. I reckon making them darker would make a pretty big difference - it would stop it looking kind of washed out at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think I prefer it - the way it lines up with the larger darker section around the wing mirror makes it being darker look better, if that makes sense. Your car though Side note: Photoshop does some pretty racist things when you change Blending Options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Dan it's literally nothing I think, maybe it's cause we've seen you do so much work to the car but it's not really noticeable. I really hate saying this but maybe a teeny bit of tint will make it look better? I agree with the black light surrounds though on the inside.
