Hi all! I recently did. something I thought I’d share. It’s definitely one of those DIY projects that will divide opinion and I myself am not convinced I like what I’ve done ( specific to the orange bit )
Background: I’ve always felt that the clear lens section on the A2’s taillight was lovely but abit dull and ‘ brownish’. Either due to the way the light bounces off the orange signal bulb? Or the manner it was designed. But the clear brownish lens made the taillights look super dated in my opinion.
Idea: I’ve done this successfully on a Honda Fit in the past and it came out brilliant. So the idea was to get light blue and orange stickers, and to stick over the clear portions of the taillights.
Let me know what you think! I’ve added before/ after photos. I really like the crisp blue on the reverse lens area. But I’m still not sure if I truly like the orange bits over the signal lens portion. Makes it look too 90s JDM Honda Civic Racer car I feel.
But I’ll keep the orange on for now and see if it grows on me. Failing which, I’ll just cover the signal lens portion with the light blue too!
Just thought I’d share!
