still prefer them in red though. these just feel far too chavvy for me.

You only live once, you won't regret it 
You'll need the fitting kit to though.

Try putting the vynal over the red fog light bit too as the colour difference makes it look shit?

Why not try lamin x on them, will be a good contrast the red on the grey.

Could you not just fit that red tint better? Looks pretty awful being clear but red would be much better than standard.

the vinyl was awkward to fit as the lights are not flat in profile and i kept getting loads of bubbles in them.
not tried lamin-x yet, but can't see it being much easier than the vinyl to use.
