yellow fogs?

[Arctic_182]

I'm thinking of doing my front fogs with lamin-x film is that a good idea or not?

Personal preference mate.
Some love it, some hate it.
Depends on the look of your car really.
It does look pretty good on blue and black clio's.
Especially if you've got yellow badges or similar.
Its good in the aspect that it protects your fog lights, but then again you could just buy clear.

cheers are you any good with photoshop?

It's a french car, french cars (at least used to) have yellow fogs, so its not hugely controversial.

Lamin-X will indeed protect the lamps from low-flying stones too, so why not

this thread has pics of Mk.2's with yellows.

Oh, and a front-on photo would be easier to photoshop and you might actually spot a difference

Here's an old pic of mine,


There's a decent one here though..

You dont ecen have to take the lamps out if you're not confident, but it would make it a lot easier to have a good quality finish.

Mine could have been done better, but unless you're staring straight at them from a foot away, you dont notice

Looks great on the mk1 clio's imo!...

Mate I'd get lamin-x, more expensive but at least it's still temporary.
And the best way to do em is take em out of the bumper and heat the film around them to make it sit tight.

On eBay they sell lamin-x in 12"x12" sheets will that be enough for 2 182's?

did mine with the amber paint stuff lasted a few months then it goes abit s**t ,but only takes 15 mins to paint it on again

 

[DrewMcLovin]

Only takes about 15 mins to put lamin-x on and that doesn't go s**t?

 

[Winged-Will]

I did mine on my gti6 with yellow glass paint from a craft shop, that didn't go sh*t!

 

[Jcs]

i used fly eye kits on mine.

I wouldn't recommend it as it chips silly easy and looks shat close up. Going to get laminex soon

Only photo I have of it rofl

Remove the bumper or not?

 

[DrewMcLovin]

Remove the bumper or not?

Yeah, bumper off, fog lights out.
Heat the lamin-x and pull over the fog light so it fits tight.
Any air bubbles can be pulled out but most will sort themselves out.
Helps if you've got a trusty sidekick to hold the fog light while you heat your lamin-x.

[172lover]

ph2 you have to remove the bumper
ph1 2 screws hold in the fogs

[Knuckles]

Does laminex only come in yellow? I wouldn't mind blue tinted fogs
