Its literally a case of a heat gun and a flat head screw driver ben , work your way round the edge warming it up and peeling it back as you go . Bearing in mind that you have to re-use the backing part so dont go to mental with ripping it apart .

Once there apart you need to seperate the 2 inner parts wich is just a case of seperating the little clips by hand . Just key it all up , i used high build primer on mine and then gave them 2 coats of gloss black .

Once the paints gone off i used Sticks Like Shit (the clear one) to stick them back together , just ran a small bead all the way round in the little recess and bedded the lense on that . Then heated the edge up again just to force it all back down so it seals nicely . And i used cable ties doubled up to hold them together whilst the adhesive was going off

Hope that helps !

Awesome what you have managed to do with cost wise, lovely bit of kit

Just a shame how it's looking imo, silver sri's with no tints would work nicely, look quite chavvy I think (but would have stuck to 15s and kept the ride hight), also the holograms in the paintwork from the Da/rotary

Only my opinion on the exterior and doesn't take anything away from the weapon you have built

looks quite chavy

cant see why its chavy looking , 15s had to go as you can see that state of my downpipe it needed lifting up, i idealy wanted it sitting on the floor but its not possable with the zlet in it as the sump sits low , paintwork needs work on it, that will get sorted when the sun is back out and ill let my mate have a go on it
