Black masks if you can get hold of them, flyeye kits and tints look shit Thumbs up

As for the coilovers they'll most likely be the same kit just rebranded. You'd be better with some Bilstein shocks and eibach springs for ride quality, eBay ones are a bit of a half-job

Can be done with the correct brand of lenses. Valeo's, iirc, tend to crack when you take them apart, think you need Depo ones to split them easily.

Yeh thats it, Valeo's ones tend not to come apart at all unless you melt them / crack them.

although this could be the other way round Whistle

tbh, the only blaze i have seen that i like was Paul's (and i dont know why!)

Yes the ones i found on ebay had been painted then baked in an oven type contraption, either way it would be very easy yourself to mask off the middle part, and most places like halfrauds etc do spray tint in various levels of chavyness darkness. Thumbs up

Just to cure them like any spray job. You don't have to, just improves the chances of it not coming off.

Those Raceland coilovers came on my Rallye. I thought they were ok actually, especially considering they only cost 160 quid. Replaced by Gaz now though.
