Corsa Vegas 1.4 Project, College Runabout

Get ready for a budget update lol

Started out on Monday at work, Green N reg Corsa came in for a back end shunt, turns out it was too far gone to repair (suprise suprise) so the insurance wrote it off, anyway i noticed it had a pair of silver Depo headlights, so i went to the scrappy, got myself a set of standard ones, took them into work, and swapped them on the sly whilst no-one was looking

Stage 1 complete: Steal Depo's lol

Next i thought to myself that ive heard of people heating up standard sets of Depo's and removing the glass, so i thought id give it a go to try and make myself a tinted set, however i got told that you need them upto around 100*c for afew minutes, which i couldnt do, so i chucked them in the paint baking oven right infront of the blowers for half an hour at 60*c, WHALLA! the glue heated enough to melt, and i prised off the glass
Stage 2 complete, remove glass

Then, i seperated the inside surrounds:

Next step was to sand down the inside silver surrounds and give them a coat of primer, and matt black aerosol that i borrowed from work :lol:
Stage 4 complete, TINTAGE!

After they dried, i bonded them back together with windscreen sealer that i again...borrowed from work lol

IIRC the law states that the only text on the plates can be the venders adress/name, however i put it through an MOT with these on and it passed

Tbh, i think aslong as youve not got stupid lettering, and the AMPR cameras can read it, unless you get a brown noseing policeman, you should be okay :thumb:

Small update, bonnet's been taken off after some tool has dented it at work, wasnt a big dent but stood out seen as how id just rmeoved every dent from it :(

Anyway, some better pics of the Depo's, with her showing her power plant lol

And hopefully getting my private plate transfered over to it next week, will hide the age of the car quite well (incase anyone doesnt know, my name is Dave Rome, D ROME)
