Think is Tamiya stuff. Done a few sets on previous Mk4 Astra's ive had. The more coats you put on, the darker they go.

This stuff....

Dont buy off ebay if its that seller that has sold loads and does them for loads of cars bexause he is a right wanker. Sent me a set out and one was dodgy and he was a class A cunt about it basically calling me a liar etc.

Not expensive no, but he is having problems with them not being smoked enough. And the pot lasts ages so can do plenty other sets in the future. Looks good on foglamps too.

I'm going to be running smoked mk4 astra ones on my nova only the right way round though

I found Astra ones didn't fit properly on the driver's side, there was something behind the wing so it wouldn't clip in
