Nice... might have to give them a go...

I think on the r75 the fitting might need to be a bit different, also will need to take the bumper off..

Slightly off topic, but is it easy to fit the mesh behind the grill/bumper..? Obviously with the bumper off (but I will doing this when I fit my HiDs anyway).

What mesh did you use..?

Dont even go there!

Tried about £30 of LED's and it just eats them! My holders are broken but I just cant seem to get them off to fix it, and it used to go through bulbs in a matter of days. Gone back to halogens - boring, but actually work..!

I repaired my number plate light fitting and fitted leds which look great. Only thing is the left hand side keeps blowing but the right hand side works perfectly. Going to try 1 more led and if it goes i'll be going back to standard bulbs too

How about replacing the bolts on the (don't know the correct name - the strip above the headlights that the
bonnet catch goes into) with stainless steel ones?
A little bit of expense, simple to do and gives a much improved appearance.

By the way, what is a "domed front plate"?

Good plan, the black as it is is starting to flake in places.
