BONGO Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 CHECK THE LINK AND VOTE WHICH WOULD BE BEST ON A DARK METALLIC GREY FOCUS. Vote for the 1st if you think this link vote for the 2nd if you think this link OK, i bought an 8 month old ford focus, 1.6 zetec, 5 door, 14000 miles, blah blah blah. It's very nice etc etc. Iam no fan of modding, and will be leaving it well alone, but i do like the look of lexus lights on a focus. I don't think they look cheap as the car they are on is decent in the first place. I am gonna get some, but i truly can't decide which, black or silver. What is the general consensus about colour. Remember the car is dark metallic grey. Spanks very much. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroo Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 The guy next door to me has the silver ones. The look cack. Really plasticky and horrible, they are just to busy and messy. The grey ones look less crap, if thats any help? (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 For my sins, in a previous life I bought some of the www.ruracing.co.uk adhesive perforated sheet and fitted it over the rear lights of my fiesta after it had been sprayed the same colour as the car. Looked rubbish close up, and was a knightmare to mould around the light curvature and cut in situe (removed some of the paintwork) but in my opinion, the stealth look is much better than bright white lights all round. Be careful though John! It's a slippery slope to full Barry boydom! Steve The guy next door to me has the silver ones. The look cack. Really plasticky and horrible, they are just to busy and messy.

MadManMike Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Get the darkest ones possible. Lexus Silver lights looks cheap and nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsking 55 Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 i would have said the black ones but thats because i thought they'd be all black when the lights aren't on. they just look naff imo like that. so i vote silver (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Definitely the black ones Jonathan. I see so many cars with 'clear' (colourless?) rear lenses and they look stupid. Like, a dark red car with clear rear lenses... just doesn't work. Darker ones are nicer because they blend in a bit - clear ones just stick out. And look shite. Like the Fiesta I saw the other day on 18's. Why. Even. Bother. Bet it drives like a toad, and you needed a step-ladder to climb into the thing.

Corish Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 It has to be the dark lexus style lights. Silver ones looks pretty stupid on some cars cos they stand out like a sore thumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicH_87 Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) Silver looks like they were bought of a market stall, and the black ones look murky and crap. Can't you get some dark smoked ones? if not, and it HAS to be one of the above, go black, but try and find some nicer ones. EDIT: LIKE THESE HERES SOME MORE OPTIONS, THE NICE ONES ARE 4TH FROM THE BOTTOM (Y) Edited August 2, 2005 by RicH_87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Definetly go for the stealth look, there's a guy over here that has a blacked out focus and it's the shizzle. Out of the two the darker one is better (obviously) but i've go darker than that if I was you (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tinting spray leaves a dull matt finish hence the laquer. Heres a pic... He had silver lexus light before they looked awfull on a black car so probably would on a dark grey.

With black tinted windows and maybe slightly bigger alloys, would look amazing!!!! Jeeeeese, these 2 years before i can drive are going to be very slow i bet!!

Simon Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Why is the stealth look for some reason suddenly coming into fashion as soon as i get the idea and plan it all out on my car? When i get a car, everyone will think i'm following a fad. (Y) Get the clear ones. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
