Howdy all;
Ive just spent the morning replacing my excutive light to verada paras and also a set of clear indictors and i am over the moon with the end result. Later on i will be headed out to get the last of the things for me to finish off the letterbox grilleso watch this space for more soon. Also a big thanks to TUFFTR for the lights and grille.
Enough of me talking, here are the pics
Enjoy
Uncle Andy

looks very nice, with your indicators put a black line aroud the outside ill post up a pic of what i mean:badgrin:

but good work with the parras :D

edit: pic uploaded so you can what i mean, it cost me $2 for the balck gloss and and i think about $6 for the clear

Looks good mate, as above do what perry said.

put the orange indicators, they look so much more classy and less ricey

looks good imo, but for some reason i dont think the grill suits it...chrome anyone??

This looks really good. need to do it to mine I think. Is there a place on the forum I can find out about the clear indicator mod?

Maybe darken the slats of the grille?

As for the black surround, I reckon it would work best if you did it inside the lense, and also with a dark charcoal rather than black. Try to match the para style as closely as possible.

Howdy all;
Thanks for the comments, ill look into doing the indicators like that perry but for the moment i quite like them. and as for the grille i will be painting up a letterbok grille and replacing that one (in the photos) very soon (on the weekend, weather and girlfriend permitting of course )

TR 300000

gonna sound like a sheep here but i agree with above
pull the lense itself apart and spray the edges with a dark charcoal from inside and then put it back together
will still look stock from straight on but on the angle will appear "different" and only a magna enthusiast will pick it

to everyone else it'll just be "different" without them knowing why

you better mod your TS:P
With a nice set of rims she'll turn a few heads;)

Uncle andy - Glad your happy with them, they look freeken awesome, dont you dare put the KS blinkers in!

Hes got the letterbox grille too going in so thats why i think hes not going to do much with his stocko grille atm.

:thumbsup:

Orange corners for the win!!

Orange corners for the win!!

Curl up and dielol

heheh my TS is a daily so i don't keep spending huge amounts of $$$ in petrol running a V8 daily
as for mods they will be purely asthetic
although i said that with the calais and it now owes me $12K b4 a respray :nuts:

Orange corners for the win!!
I dunno I kinda like the clear lights with the para's. Black surround makes em look em better imo. Orange looks a bit stock to me.

you really don't like the orange huh?

Did you know that orange corners mean that its the top model in mitsi cars from that time. Only Verada have them form the magna line, only evos have them from the lancer line.

orange is better:poke: .

Uncle Andy, paras look good, but that grill needs to have something done with it imo. Letterbox grill would look sweet, don't ever think i have seen one in white.

+1 vote for clear sides, contrast can be good but i prefer the subtletys of clears and having 2 distinguished colours on my car... i always go for class too...

can't wait for my tr tail-lights + special tinting...

What GoTRICE said

Less colors, doesnt make them orange things stand out like dogs balls
When tinting the side just get a can and spray the edge so you get a nice blended effect, if you use tape you use a sharp cut off....sorta looks too abrupt

Howdy all;
I was going to leave them (indicators) the way they are for now cause its a subtle difference and maybe tint them with nightshade or similar at a later stage. As for the grill that should be done on saturday, weather pending (its blacker than the inside of a ducks gut out side and it aint cause the sun is going down)
Hopefully the rear lights and clear side repeaters turn up soon and ill get the whole lot done in one go.
Stay tuned more comming soon :P
Thanks for the kind comments everyone
Uncle Andy

bad ideas of the 90's, red plastic all over the back of cars, orange indicators in the front sides and back, looks crap. parras, slightly tinted clear indicators and side repeaters and verada tail lights with colour coded garnish ftw, simple and very nice

Howdy all;
Ive just finished the grill and i reckon its come up a treat. Ive devided to use the blue of the inside of my car to start accenting the outside. hence the blue grill and maybe soon some subtle blue pinstriping to match (like the current red and black but blue and black)
Anyway enough rambling here are the pics
Enjoy

Nope it was pretty much sand it down a bit, base coat, more sanding between coats of base and white, then around 5 coats of clear with some light sanding in betewwn. the only reason it took so long is cause i have no time but weekends to do thigs and even then its taken up by other activities.
Thanks for the kind comments so far
