Vinyl over Ralliart fog lights placeholders?

Hi all,

Currently my Lancer has no fog lights as the picture shows:

They're just the plastic placeholders. I want to get some red vinyl in there to add some color. Since it's such a small thing, would it be worth it to get it done at a sign maker? I would do it myself but I'm not sure where to buy such a small amount of vinyl from.

Any suggestions? thanks!

Hey zik
If u really want vynil then go to a sign maker and ask if he's got any off cuts. If they dont just tell him what ur doing and they will give u the best options... Or just buy a small sheet off them and make a template urself :)
Hope this helps

Thanks guys!

Getting real fog lights would probably be an option later down the track but seeing as you hardly get to use them, I don't want to spend a lot.

Yeah, perhaps I could visit a local sign maker and ask for some spare sheets!

Just ask for some offcuts mate, I think I bought a 100cmx60cm for about $30 for my front bumper so cant see it being too much.

As for the foggies I assume they would be the same as the RA ones which are around the $500 mark, all the cheap ebay ones are for the standard bumpers and would not fit.

Is it legal to put some sort of convex mirror on it? Those small round mirror we sometimes see fitted on top of side mirror. Might look like a real foglight from afar..

Hey Zik , pm me what you want ( color , amount and phone number ) I can get some from a mate who owns a sign company he always has a tone of left overs
He has done my bumper in red and now in black and given me extra black with off cuts and has never charged me

Cheers Twellsy

that actually doesn't sound too bad! I don't see any reason why it would be illegal, but perhaps there may be some reasons we don't know.

Why would you assume that the 2012 ActIv fogs are the same as the RA ?

i do believe each RA foglight comes to $385... possible more depending on dealer...

But it's a 2012 ActIv .... NOT an RA ....
