I've taken apart halogen and xenon. The grey surround is held on by a couple of screws but if you paint them you will still have the standard grey colour on the edge of the lens. I used a heatgun and a screwdriver to remove the lenses, then tiger seal to seal them together. The plastic manual...

Got about £3000 from admiral insurance, gunna ring up a few other specialist insurance companies and see what prices i'm looking at.

Found out what the clunking noise is when turning; d/s front spring has broke.

Managed to get a quote of £3700 so thats almost half! But I didn't mention my claim I made as I was curious how much it would drop it by.. And also put dad on as a named driver and put that I had 1 year no claims (I will if i don't crash until november) also its third party f&f

Wow!! Who did you go with? And did you have any no claims?
