Re: Fog light covers yes or no
We haven't had a poll on this forum for a long time, nice one!
I voted yes as I think they look alright. Although I'm not keen on white ones, I'd paint them black.
I hope that answer won't make you cry like a baby!

Hi,
if you look to my profile picture, you can guess what I voted for.
No seriously, I think it looks very good and I'm for white color as it is.

Re: Fog light covers yes or no
It's a no from me I'm afraid, don't like the look. Mind you, it may well stop them from getting the glass smashed from flying stones etc..

Re: Fog light covers yes or no
Jason I voted 'other' mate but I talked to you earlier re this. Whilst I do like them with covers I really like the uncovered look too. Reckon spraying these black or even Mercury Grey would look better on your Laser mate and deffo worth doing to see how it looks if you really don't like them White.
Whatever you decide with or without it will look great but if I was really really pushed I would have to vote without
But here is another Capri at Deal that has them in White and it does look good as they kinda tie in with the pinstripe on the car.

Re: Fog light covers yes or no
I've said 'other'. They look OK but if you want to use the lights presumably you need to stop and remove the covers. Never sounds like a great idea to me

So fog light now back on car and then them covers .
Wet & dry sand paper used 2000 grade
Then now on to spray ......... ( should be helping to pack to go away )

Great idea to use the UV light Jason, very cunning!
Look forward to seeing the covers as well when you're finished with them

Re: Fog light covers yes or no
How about using a textured paint to give the covers the same sort of finish as the bumper end caps?
