Behold!

The fact that they aren’t even bugs me.

I’m sorry PL! I may rectify that for you when I next have it jacked up (probably won’t be until I have bought lowering springs though I’m afraid!).
They arrived on Wednesday and were fitted Wednesday night, in the dark and the rain using a flashlight to see, lol. Glad you like them! :D

Nice, I like them, they aren’t too "LOOKATME, LOOKATME, LOOKATME, LOOKATME, LOOKATME, LOOKATME" like most wheels that people upgrade.
Sorry, I live in Western New York, so the only ones I see are always ’Nigga Rimz on da Yukons, Escalades and old shitty Buicks’, or more recently, the 20’s I saw on a Bonneville, in traffic court no less xD (No I wasn’t there cause I got a ticket, I had to do a ’government visitation’ for my Government class.)
Haha, lets get back on topic now, I like them, they fit the car well. Also I like your taillights, nice car Coopz :]

Thanks MICN! :)
Igloo... How do you smoke tail lights? Do they make a special pipe or bong for this? XD
I’m actually planning on changing the tail lights for blue smoke ones, mainly because the ones I have on are american and aren’t road legal over here, as the indicators are red instead of the UK orange. I used the trick of putting in green bulbs but it barely changes the colour, and now they just flash a lot dimmer. They look good, but practicality-wise, they suck.
And thanks Noble! :)
I went out with the camera again today now that I had more time (previous photos were done in work lunch break, I had like no time and had to rush it).
Here’s my favourite 22 out of 187 photos taken. (Clickable thumbnails)

How much insurance do you pay for that, Coopz, and what coverage?

About £1058 ($1740) for third party fire and theft. And it might go up a bit next renewal as I recently got points on my licence for speeding, but I’ll have another years no claims discount so it should hopefully balance out and be about the same (hope it’s less though!)

Where do you park at night, and what are your tag numbers?
Jk.
My friends but stuff to fog their taillights out, in came in a can, and there was enough to do a few cars tailights. Idk if all fog stuff comes in a can though. Just thinking it might be cheaper than other options.

Good idea, but the reason I’m needing to change them is because of the indicators, they’re not street legal here, and in trying to make them flash the correct colour they now flash with a slight tinge of the correct colour, but a lot dimmer. My friends tell me my rear indicators are broken because they cant see them flash, or when they do see them they think its me pumping the brakes because it’s a red light instead of orange. And If I am actually braking at the same time, there’s not a hope in hell of the indicators being seen (not too good for vehicles behind when I go to turn off the road).

Did you buy this car from a dealer or a person?
Strange that it would have the American taillight lenses in Scotland.
I would have thought those lenses would have been changed out before the car was sold.

Your little pointers on the ends of the curves are going the wrong way on one side!

Coopz I know that it’s illegal but if you wanna know anyway...
You could either
1.But some tint in a can and spray the inside
2.Buy som window tint and get it all up in there and use a heat gun to melt it
3.If you’re ghetto I hear you could use some rubber like a bike tire innertube and burn it and the smoke supposedly could tint the lights.
4. Buy them already tinted.
And it’s surprising to hear that red indicators are illegal. All the Cadillacs over here use the same light that comes on when you’re breaking and it just blinks
they look like this
