Hey Dan H I'm felling the wheels but how did you get ya headlights that clean?

Did you use autosol or something?

Also Sam I love the yellow and black colour combo!

The headlights haze up due to the UV light. A garage is the best solution but once they are crazed, theres not a fat lot you can do to them as the damage is already done.

I was there in my grey 15.

S15_SAM, my mate really wants your car lol

PS: i use Meguiars plast-x to bring the headlights up. Works a treat

 

[vinnie]

Oh man really. My headlights where quite bad when I first got the car, after a few good cleans its got alot better.

Now it seems to be going yellow again, heh darn sun.

Cheers Craig.

Hey Lloydy thanks for the tip.

If you look closely at the plastic you'll see loads of micro cracks within the plastic. This is what can't be removed. Metal polish normally works well for brightening up plastic lenses too

On my old passenger light I used 2000 grit wet and dry, then went over with G3 compound, then renovo plastic polish, and it came up quite well, but I have since changed it for a new one. Not because it was cloudy though, it had had a repaired bracket.

Basically I followed the guide that Mint made when he did his headlights.

I reckon we should ask him if he'd mind us copying his guide and sticking up on here :nod:

Dunno about all these damn 15 boys but I saw a smart red Lexus with AVS rims lol

Alan Partridge eat your heart out:

I was keeping up with an MR2 and some others... sadly the Halfords touring cars were just a bit too quick!! lol

This is my 15. I didn't take the photo, it was in the Japfest media thread on SXOC

Are they corvette wheels?
Never seen anything like that on a Silv before.
Did they bolt straight on?

Well unless he makes me an offer i can't refuse then I'm afraid she's mine! She is a beauty! Black and yellow black and yellow!!
Hopefully we can get a clubstand next year as there weren't enough 15's together! By far the best looking jap car!

Yeah, Corvette C4 sawblades I had refurbished in light anthracite. I got the 17x9.5 all round, but they made them in 8.5 and 11 as well. I was surprised when I got them and saw Japan cast into the back seeing as they are off an American car!

I had to get conversion spacers made to fit them, as they are 5x4.75" PCD, where the S15 takes 5x4.5".

The only other Jap cars I've seen them on are an Impreza wagon, and a S2000, both in America.
