Tights and Lights

[[huzeeee]]

I saw one of my mates the other night who had stretched dark black tights over his rear lights to give the impression of them being smoked. Dont get me wrong in thinking he is going to leave them on and think hees cool, but it gave an amazing idea of what smoked lenses would look like. I thought it was a really good idea and now he deffinatley knows that smoked lights will look good on his car. Talk about thinking outside the box.
I thought idd post to see if anyone has done similarly crazy but actually quite good bodges on their cars?

i knew someone who did this to his 206
also used a flattened out piece of old metal gauze as a front grill
needless to say, it looked fantastic

another person i knew used that spray frosting (that you can use to 'fog' bathroom windows to make them translucent) on the inside of his lights
no idea how this turned out for him though - or even if it was legal!

imo with mods you either want subtle and classy, or completely out of this world crazy - neither of which can be achieved with tights, or even scissors and glue!!

Tights on the lights has been round at least since I were a lad...

As Penski said, tights on lights is an old trick, it's been around for donkeys years.

Yeah seen this done in max power mag many years ago, iirc it was a silver 106 and looked very nice, i even tried it out on my car at the time. It looked great from a distance, but up close you could tell they were covered up as you lost the shine off the plastic.
