You can match bits up if you have gaps aswell. there are a couple of places iv just popped in a small triangle to fill a hole and you wouldnt know it.

i would love to see this done with body colour. or a totally different colour to the body even

OH MY xJIZSZZx

Wow. Well done for stealing the idea out of my head on the grill. Love it.
I dont care what 4th genner say id take the stock 5th gen lights over a 4th gens anyday. I prefer them. But this takes it one step further.
Love the carbon surrounds.

Repped. I may copy.

We need to see the indicators now please.

talking of toasted thumb nails how will the wrap react to the heat from the bulbs ?

I was just thinking that, I don't think the heat from the bulbs will effect the wrap.

@tramroad: after a chat with a couple of wrappers and rich i decided it was worth the risk of it lifting with the heat.

it seems as long as it is flash set with 100c then you 'should' be ok. the inside of the lamp shouldnt get that hot im hoping. I will of course report on this if it lifts.

I also dont think ill be doing much night driving as its a sunday car

this is my best defence.

@ratty: its not a copy if i used your idea first

i also dont mind the lights so much but i had pretty much run out of things to modify

I havbe a set of smoked indicators coming and they may get a 'little' wrappage.

oh almost forgot.

i put a small bag of silica gel in each light to help with condensation if my sealing of the lights was less than perfect. you can buy it in big bags in pets at home as cat littler

Good job.

Having wrapped a few things myself I know how tricky it can be.
Not sure on the wrap around the outside of the glass but the rest looks
