You're not thinking of doing this to your MK2 are you? That looks perfect as is.

And Rhys, paint turned out awesome. Looking forward to more pics.

As it looks damn cool.. and i wouldnt mind doing the same to my tail lights..

So the brake lights / indicators / reverse lights are still clearly visible when they are on ?

Cheers.

its called night shade and available from sprint / repco places like that.

rhys the whole car looks great! did you do the lower front lip spoiler thing yourself? the fibreglass heater dome is a great idea and i look forward to seeing it in real life sumtime.

oh and its a defect so dont go too thick you will be surprised how dark it gets

I personally wouldnt use it, remember its up to the deek behind you if they can't see them properly then there goes the back half of your car [V]

Shea,
The car had a fibreglass front spoiler, that I reshaped the sides and made sit lower to the way I liked it.

Just for interests sake, I've uploaded a pic of the car from when it was is Unique Cars Mag in the early ninetys.

Pic shows a bigger front spoiler, but the guy before me cut it down as it hit everything.

A few years back I ended up tracking down the guy whom originally did it up and he told me a bit more about. And promised me photos of original build up but never heard back from him.

Building a house got in the way of installing the cossy and it was all sold. Motor got sold seperately so who knows where it is now and what its in.
Was also told car used to run a 1600turbo, but have no proof of that.
Its amazing, the history of some cars, some get used abused no $'s spent on them and crushed, others go through many different lives, getting rebuilt etc and have many $'s spent on them.
