Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 5Original post

You can t-cut and does a good job but if you want to do better, flatten back with wet 1200 grit or similar and re -lacquer. Easy job, plenty of vids on youtube.

POST 6Original post

Use the 2k laquer. I bought: SPRAYMAX 2K 2in1 HEADLIGHT CLEARCOAT AEROSOL 250ML £29.79 I bought a kit from ebay, but it was just as easy to get some wet and dry and do it by hand. if you have washer jets, you can pull them up, then unclip them to remove. it's also a lot easier to remove the headlight that do it on the car with tape.
