Can you not flat them with a bit of sandpaper and water then buff them up mine did it slightly when I done my lights but flatted them down and buffed them back up and they came out alright

good bit longer, almost too long because im using tuner nuts so mite not beable to get key in with nuts fully screwed in, but before hit tht problem had an absolute handiling tryna get them on got some nuts tht matched the threads and tryed to screw the studs into the hub but just cud not get them to come through cuz was just using a ratchet and socket but the hub was free so was very hard to tighten them, ended up just having to pop old studs back in which was easy enugh to do which makes me think mayb the new studs wernt rite altho think it would hav been alot easier with an impact wrench but instead of gettin one of those or takin it to a garage decided on a new plan, was just catching the very edge of the brake caliper holder so decided just to grind the edge off this is it before

problem sorted now got a gd 3 or 4 turns on wheel stud, if only hadnt wasted money on the new studs but ey wat can u do

The studs will be right, I found the best way to get them in is by packing them with washers between hub and the nut, they do pull on though

My IS200 so far - Mr-cth - 21-01-2021

had a big nut over the top and a washer, even giv it a spray of grease too and was still near enugh impossible to tighten it any more think i need to get a breaker bar or something but problem is sorted now anyway and only had to grind it back by lik 2mm or 3mm in the corner and its sweet now with out the spacers, does anyone kno if an HID kit like this one would pass the MOT

look well like and they r so much better than the crappy tuner nuts that came with the car altho had to get breaker bar just to keep in the car as its 19mm socket, also decided to switch number plates round to square plates, rear was easy just take old one off and pop new ones on and done
[Image: Coleraine-20130408-00080_zps124b1322.jpg]
front was abit more of a challenge as once i took the old ones off and got rid of the wee black surround left with 2 big holes either side of the bumper
[Image: Coleraine-20130407-00076_zps24a29044.jpg]
so added a wee bit of filler and got it all sanded down
[Image: Coleraine-20130407-00077_zps913c4956.jpg]
then painted it all up and poped it back on also poped a wee tow strap in the front
[Image: Coleraine-20130408-00079_zpsa15a9cc6.jpg]
looks ten times better in my opinion so this is how car looks now,

obviously still need new front light but not to bad, all comments welcome

Like the dash (white is best colour)

Don't like rear square plate but the front is spot on great work

Keep hunting for a new light mate
