Tinted my rear reflectors

While waiting for the Acexxon mesh ones i decided i might as well try and tint these.

Followed the iND reflector removal, the reflectors popped of nice and eay not too much hassle at all

I did think about sanding the reflectors, but if the the car does need to go back to OEM i would have to buy new reflectors, so I thorougly washed the reflectors and picked up a can of spray tint and bypassed the sanding stage.

Will try to get some more pictures, but overall I think it looks much much better.

I used Auto Extreme Light tint can, think was about £5 or something similar.

it does make a very noticeable difference to the back.

This is the removal link i used;
