now you tell me  :booty:

Basically, can you chop the rear lights of my k1 to the same darkness as that to the corsa vxr, and can you do the lower rear valance black also.

Thanks :drinking:

great minds think alike.  :drinking:

Going by that pic im thinking that darker rear lights is the way forward. Undecided about the real lower valance though.

We really do have all the same ideas! I thought the rear of the k1 is too white and I always thought the whole back in black would look great which it does. A danish guy has done it already also!

Vinyl it dude!

Thanks, once the DP is fitted I think I will get some new rubber and brake pads, then hopefully by then the ITG intake is available.

Trying to source some ferodo ds2500 pads for it, as they are meant to be the danglies!

Your vinyl guy is taking the piss. My local bodyshop who do kit cars and insurance work would spray my rear valance for 100. For vinyl it should be about 40-50 squid. My mate got his whole roof and bonnet vinyled for 120. Try somewhere else dude.  :happy2:
