ShineRed i30 CW from Norway

Also another thing i was wondering, how would I go about " blacking" out my lights headlights, like do i have restrictions to paint them I would like to buy black stock ones but DAMN they are so expensive, so I was thinking of doing this

I think this looks odd but it might be the only way I can do it .

But this is what I really want but is it legal at all ? and will I lose my reflectivity in the headlights by doing this ? =)

Also i found the image that I think shows the best wheels on the CW

'

thanks for all help again

It can be done (and has been done) there are discussions on here about it.. BUT be warned it is not easy and they can be ruined in the attempt. The glue that holds the lights together has to be heated to soften it in an oven or by some other means and if you heat the lights too much

I personally wouldn't try it...

It might pay to see if you can pick up a second hand set and do the work on those, carefully and at your leisure. Then just swap them over when you're satified and sell off the others or keep as spares.
That way, you're not under the pump time-wise and you can take your time and do a good job.
