    There's a lot to be said for the pre-facelift glass lights. Although I prefer the look of those a lot, I could do without that sort of agro.

    Well done mate.

    Watch this space - my next mod is front end related and may involve the use of french parts too

    I used meguires plastic repair stuff on my old celica headlights Graeme. I found it lasted longer than normal polish & saves you doing them as often.
    Martin are you going for a Laguna or espace splitter?
