DIY mod

[RyanK]

Today I was extremely bored so I thought I would add a black beltline and black headlight rings to my car! Theres a catch though!

I dont have the beltline as such or the black headlight rings, It's just a mod im planning on doing soon so I thought I'd see how it would look once complete.

I used Insulation tape:p :D . I am ofcourse going to take the tape off the headlights however I may keep the tape stuck round the window frame for now.:cool:

I think that actually looks really good, suits the aero kit and your black wheels... :)

I prefer chrome, myself.

Are those sidelights legal on cars in the UK?

I like the look of them.

Yep ... Volvos also have similar setup and large good vehicles... look really good in the flesh/metal :cool::)

Interesting...

I know US cars must have reflectors on the side, didn't know these lit up though.

I think that looks good Ryan:D Blends in with the rest of the cars 'de-chromed' look I think:cool:

Defo a fan of the black beltline...good job! I'm looking at a car that's had this done and it looks the mutt's! Not so sure about the black headlight rings, but if you combined it with the joey mod to the headlights (insides painted black) I rekon it'd look brilliant!

I like the de-chromed look on the belt line and headlight rings Ryan.

It works in your colour i think...

Thanks for all comments folks!

I am really liking the car now and starting to 'appreciate' fully the way it looks.

@ Baz & Jonny - Next on the list are the Black halo headlights in which I will be fininshing off with Pure Silver Colour matched rings. I will post a pic showing the same setup later, I think it looks cool.

Apart from the above, got some interior enhancements going in & am Working too much hours in order to obtain a set of coilovers.

Cheers, Ryan

Likewise with your car Baz, spied your cousins on bebo and was speechless. Black looks nuts on black cars!
