Cheers man, yeah there's a little bit of a colour difference from the shifter to the upper piece, I think I used a tad more clear on that part.
All minus the lion badges are gone, although I wouldn't mind taking off the bonnet badge, I've read jabas spac build thread and his front profile looks sweet as.

Yeah man, no badges at all looks the best I reckoin
Annoyingly though I'm pre sure there is a hole in the boot lid for the badge...

Alright so I managed to fit the rear springs, not the fronts however. There's one wheel nut that I can't crack, the nut's almost stripped from a previous owner, guess I have to go to a tyre place to finish the job

Glad the stock rear lights are back on. Personally i'd
drop the spoiler and put the centre caps back on too but
thats just me.

How hard was it to do the dash lights?

With light lenses that dont seal you could blow out the seam/gap with air and
prepsol,mask either side of it and push sealant into the gap. Masking
tape either side of the gap so the silicone only goes in there. Then pull the tape off
and it's a pretty clean job.

I did something similar with the otr on my clubby.

It's messy **** but with some masking tape you can do some neat work with it.

Yeah funny story about the other lights. In an attempt to defog them I accidentally melted the plastic with a hairdryer.
My mates brother has a silver exec without the spoiler so potentially I could swap the boot but then comes the hassle regarding the brake light etc, I don't mind the spoiler, it's small enough to be subtle, which I like.

The dash lights took a while dude, about five hours in isolation. This was my second attempt, this time sanding the film and using the strips. My goal was to make the needles red, which turned out pretty well. Well worth the effort though. I could do a write-up in the blue LED conversion mega thread if you want.

Thanks for the tips on the headlights, ill give that a go when I've got some free time.

Edit: so i somehow managed to delete the prev post.
here it is lowered with the dash conversion
