Having negotiated a deal, and subject to a few final bits I should back into a FL2 in the next week or so

and already planning on a facelift for it

Looks nice Rog Hope you remove them chrome wing mirrors  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

first on the list to come off

need to find out exactly which black it is first then ill order some covers from Powerful

also looking at clear 3rd brake light, black side side vents and repeaters, facelift chrome boot strip and facelift bumper once funds allow.

as well as the usual LED light upgrades

I would keep the brake light that you have and the side repeaters and just smoke them out with tail light tint spray will cost you a tenner for a can. Similarly get you side vents painted unless a replacement set in gloss black are cheaper to buy. Then with the money you've saved put that towards getting the d pillars colour coded  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I was planning on keying and spraying the vents myself this time round, they are about £50-£60 to buy.

Where do you get the lens spray from for the repeaters and brake light ?

As for the D Pillars....................... I had actually thought about going gloss black on them to blend in with the tinted glass

back from the dark side.................... into a very dark FL2

Hycote lens paint is what I use ...


It's really good stuff and the results are fantastic. When applying it it goes on like clear lacquer wth a hint of black as you build the coats up the more you apply the darker the lens becomes. You can completely blacken the lenses and the light output is not reduced. Just don't do too thick over the lenses obviously.

Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated

so multiple thin layers all over the outside of the lens until the required darkness is reached ?

Correct Rog just take your time and allow them to fully dry and shake the can well to avoid any spitting! It is a really easy job tbh just make sure that you clean the lenses with white spirit to remove all grime/polish. When spraying build it up in layers giving them a gently dusting and move the can along to ensure equal coverage. If you were closer by I would have happily done the painting for you

Im sure theres a local vandal who will do the keying for you? They might even do more than you wanted for free too

If I stray into the wrong areas round Mansfield then its possible

what I meant to imply was I will provide a good surface for the black paint to adhere to by lightly roughing the surface of the plastic vents
