Taillights... Something different

Post by FtoSam »

Righto... After receiving WAAYYY too many defects, im on a mission to make the FTO defect free...

One of these things to fix is my taillights...

Basically they're jet black...

What they used to be:
Image

1st Modification:
Image

2nd Phase:
Image

As you can see... The 2nd one is illegal as it covers the reflector...

What i want to do is one of these two:

DB9 Style
Image

Reverse DB9 (My Favourite)
Image

Obviously DB9 is technically illegal...

However Reversed is fine (and also happens to be my favourite)...

And if you copy me simon... i'll key your car... lol

looks good, although maybe if it was the same colour as the car it might look even better?

Looks good .. have to agree that it would look better if the masked section was painted the same colour as the car..
& i thought you were doing them the other way round with the stripe in the middle?

SOrry if I seem ignorant, but what determines whether a tailight modification is illegal or not? :oops:
