WilkesyMB6 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 That looks a lot better! The head on pics aren't that noticable but saying that it is raining and you said you need to clean the lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwall Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 yeh, bloody Honda, there's a little strip of metal under the headlights which supports the bumper, you gotta drop the front beam off the chassis legs to get the lights off, If I did it a 2nd time it would only take me an hour or soI presume the Civic is put together in a similar way to the accord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwall Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 got my dome polish mop from fleabay, think it was a Fiver, I used t-cut metallic paint restorer as it's all I had, worked a treatthe lights before were a bit of a messTook about an hour to do both including masking off the headlights, here's the finished item (the offside one has som really deep scratches which will not polish out)Think you will agree it does look 100% better 1"£££$££" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
