Gray52's fog light covers, fitted at 9:45pm.....wonder what the neighbours were thinking????????????

gray52 · 14th March 2007, 22:16

looking good! aleast we dont have to do the daily inspection, with the fingers crossed that they are still intact!

smb09_1999 · 15th March 2007, 22:31

Got mine on as well but it was getting a bit dark to take the photos! Thanks Gray52 - these have bee a right little earner for you by the sounds of it and with many happy customers you're to be commended!

Well worth every penny and don't seem to infringe on the looks of the car!

gray52 · 15th March 2007, 22:44

i think honda are on a nice little earner, with everyone buying replacements when there smashed.

Kremmen · 16th March 2007, 06:03

I think it was for the same reason that most manufacturers turned to colour coded bumpers - another nice little earner.

Can't beat the old black vinyl type, you could 'touch' things with no scratching.

I think we need to find a better way to attach the fog light protectors. The ones I bought from Mark (gray52) have blown off on the motorway after a week or two. I don't think the tiny 1cm velcro pads are strong enough once the wind gets behind the plastic.

gray52 · 28th March 2007, 19:09

hi, are you sure they have blown off? or has some one nicked them? i had these for years and never lost any. ive had my current civic ones up to 120mph (private track) and they are still there.

the fittings are the same as what the motorbike head light covers are fitted on with, had all bikes way past 120mph and have never encountered a problem, and they are the same size. thats why i use these fixings.

sarahjo · 28th March 2007, 19:13

I've had to claim mine on my insurance....

Are u gonna make any more...nothing like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted

Well I doubt they were stolen as since having the car, I've only ever kept it in the garage at home or my secure car park at work. It's never been anywhere else and I've only had it for two months. They also disappeared at different times.

I've made myself a new set of covers now and would like to try them again but I don't know where you get the sticky pads from.

Nitehawk · 28th March 2007, 21:42

Got mine tonight.................. 1.5hrs after reading the post. Can't beat that for sure. Excellent finish for my Nighthawk Black. Thanks gray52

gray52 · 28th March 2007, 21:55

your welcome nitehawk. you have an email regarding the supagard you showed me.

snowgoon · 29th March 2007, 12:12

Yup count me in, if the velcro is clear I'll buy a set!

gray52 · 29th March 2007, 22:06

yep, fixings are clear just like in the photos by "harryg". pm me if you would like a set.

okehciv · 25th April 2007, 17:12

Hi Gray52, my wife went out to the car this morning and found one of the covers lying on the drive, not had a problem up to now.Two of the pads are still sticky,can you tell me were to get more pads from ?
Does seem strange it just fell off on the drive, but then again why would someone walk down the drive remove the cover and just leave it !!!!

spile · 26th April 2007, 11:14

I decided not to bother with front fogs on my new Civic.
YES they do look better than the plastic fittings, BUT...
I don't need to worry about stone chips!

In addition, the front fogs on my old MGZX made no difference whatsoever in foggy weather and I guess what? I had to replace one of them after a stone hit it!

On balance I am happy to have practicality over aesthetics!

snowgoon · 26th April 2007, 16:05

I've done 110 and mine are still on. And my daily commute takes me up over a wide open hill, have driven in gusts of 70mph and more and they are still there.

Make sure you clean the foglamps thoroughly or the stickyness won't be as... sticky.
