Friend of mine has changed his GTR for a GT2. It has been fettled to produce around 600bhp. Took it out and it is quick, but didn't feel that much quicker than mine. So off we went for a blat and I had no problem keeping up. Into the Polish car wash for a joint clean, the car the lads wanted their photo taken with........the Noble of course!!! Great bit of kit, far more refined but I would struggle giving that money for a 911

Nice one. Lovely car combo chaps! Just a thought, don't you worry that they have been washing loads of cars during the day, and all the grime and crap embedded in those wash cloths, gets transferred to your cars paintwork? Then the pressure wash... Swirly marks galore :/

Yes!!! so I let Chris go first biggrin and had a "chat" more wave my arms around to tell them clean water for me please and clean sponges, also no pressure washing. They did, and to be honest they did a great job. First time I've used them on my car, trouble for me is at present, until my house is finished, I have no where to wash my car. Also gave us a good excuse to go for a drive driving

just black out the tops... I did it with mine and am about to do my spare set of lights so I can fit it to the new clip, pretty easy especially if you have the light out (did my last set in place).

We tinted them inplace on the outside of the lights, very easy todo. If I remember, we gave them three coats.

I actually prefer our lights when this tint is done to the Senata light the US car use hence I didnt mod my clip to use the other lights but left the originals in thumbup

What did you use to coat them? Is it just cheap-o demon tweeks style tinting?

I dont want it to look MATT finish, as that's a bit Vauxhall Nova 1998 style!

cheers

Body shop did it, but yes it is your average Halfords type tinting spray-in-a-can. Secret is to do a few coats, leave to dry and check the depth of the tint' pretty sure we did three coats. Once you have gone too dark you can't reverse.

Just to add, mine are matt, I think it looks better OMO but doesn't look Nova but OMO. If you didn't want the matt look you would need to spray the inside of the light and that, believe it or not, is a right pain in the arse.
